3. For classes that have an end of year state assessment (4-8):
Goal 1: Assessment Index for Entire Class
Teacher will use the same method for setting their assessment index goal as the principal.
ELA, math, science, and social studies*
LDOE chart for rating scale (see next slide)
Based on the performance of students in their classroom only.
Use their previous year’s results to set the goal using the SPS calculator.
Use Student Stats to access information.
For students with no scores (home school, transfers): do not include them in your baseline goal or the final calculation to determine if you met the goal.
Example:
The Math Assessment Index for my classroom will increase by __ points from current index to goal index.
*see next slide for an example of the process using the Rating Scale Charts.

4.2 – 8.2 points.
The index increased more than 8.2 points.

5. Grade 3 and HS EOC/LEAP 2025 Courses with a state test but without a corresponding previous year’s test.
Compute a baseline assessment index for the course:
Option 1: Use the teacher’s EOC results to compute a baseline assessment index.
Option 2: Use the school’s EOC assessment index as their baseline assessment index. Or
Use the District Average Method (explain in upcoming slides)

6. Adjustments
This is for 3rd grade or HS courses using an assessment index baseline that is not derived from the students currently in their class.
Based on the composition of the class in relation to the rest of the classes at the school – below or above – the principal can adjust the baseline assessment index accordingly.
The adjustment should be based on the LDOE charts. For example…
If the school is a C and the class is an advanced class, then the baseline assessment index used should be the B assessment index in that subject.
If the school is a C and the class is significantly lower, then the baseline assessment index used should be the D assessment index in that subject.

7. District Average Method For classes without a State Test and using a District-wide Common Assessment: Pre-K-2 (3*) ELA and math, EOC* and non-EOC tested HS core subjects
The percent of students scoring proficient1 in my 2nd grade math classes2 on the appropriate grade-level District-wide End of Year math assessment3 will be at the District Average (DAVG)4.
1however proficient is defined: Basic or above, Good or Excellent, 80% or higher, etc.)
2 grade and subject you teach
3 whatever District-wide End of Year test is given for the grade and subject. See district chart for list of assessments.
4 this will be determined at the end of the year – there will be variance by grade of school – see upcoming slide.
*This can also be used for 3rd grade or EOC courses using the State test because there is not comparable data from the year before.
** This example is for a C School

8. Goal Differentiation Based on School Letter Grade
Goal would be…
Written as…
A Schools
20% higher than the district average*
DAVG+20
B Schools
10% higher than the district average**
DAVG+10
C Schools
District Average
DAVG
D Schools
10% lower than the district average
DAVG-10
Schools will use their new Letter Grade to set SLTs.
* “A” schools will write their goals to meet Mastery or above.
**When the district average is greater than 70%, the top ranges will split the difference between that number and 100.
Use this chart to make adjustments based on class composition when using the District Average to set the goal. Goals can be moved up or down using increments of 5%.

1however proficient is defined: Basic or above, Good or Excellent, 80% or higher, etc.)
2 grade and subject you teach
3 Whatever end of year assessment is appropriate for the class. If there is a national, state college, certification or district test available, that test should be used.
4 General definition of proficiency. This may vary based on school letter grade, historical data, and baseline data.
** This example is for a C School

19. Number of SLTs
Principals may want to consider having their teachers write more than two goals in order to cover all of the tested subjects they teach or to include school-wide initiatives.
The results are averaged for a final rating.

20. Suggested Scale for other non-tested grades and subjects
Percent of students who score “proficient”
D or F schools:  70%
C schools:  80%
B schools:  90%
A schools:  100%
*based on the idea that A schools are expected to have 100% of their students proficient. Adjustments can be made based on academic and non-academic courses and baseline data. When there are no proficiency levels assigned, proficient will be defined as 80% or higher.
