3. Performance Levels
“Attainment” defined in 3 ordered categories, used in reporting to Federal & state government agencies
NON-PROFICIENT (N) means LIMITED-NOVICE (no mastery)
PROFICIENT (P) means INTERMEDIATE level (mastery)
ADVANCED (A) means HIGHEST level (above proficient mastery)
INCOMPLETE (I) means too few tests for “pathway score” (1-2)
Sometimes a point of confusion for local district users, based on reporting to ODE

4. Data Paths for Reporting
What IS provided for PARTICIPATION state-level reporting?
PARTICIPATION = # Tested / # Taught (Numerator from CETE, Denominator from district/ITC)
What IS provided for PERFORMANCE state-level reporting?
PERFORMANCE = #/% Nonproficient, #/% Proficient, & #/% Advanced
PERFORMANCE = Nonproficient (Fail), Proficient & Advanced (Pass)

17. WebXam Reports
Lets get started with WebXam Reporting.
But first, a quick discussion about pathway scoring calculations!

18. To begin with, let’s discuss how pathway scores are calculated:
Pathway Calculations
To begin with, let’s discuss how pathway scores are calculated:
A Pathway score is calculated if a student has taken the requisite number of end of course tests to receive a pathway score (generally 3).
Note: Most Ohio CTE programs require 4 courses.

19. Pathway Calculations, Cont’d
Each of the student's test score percentages are added up (A1+A2+A An) = A, and Each of the test performance standards for proficiency are added up (B1+B2+B Bn) = B (Performance standards are available on our About the Tests page)

20. Pathway Calculations, Example If a student took 4 tests in a pathway and scored:  50%, 40%, 55%, and 60% on the tests, and the proficiency performance standard on each test was 50%.
A = ( ) = B = ( ) = Since A >= B, the student passes.

21. Pathway Calculations, Notes
Two students in the same pathway, but taking different courses in that pathway, can get the same total score, but get a different result.
A student can score non-proficient on one course (or even two) and still be proficient in the pathway if their score on the other tests is sufficiently high.

22. Pathway Calculations, Test Retakes
After a student has received course instruction, the student may take the End Of Course test once per school year. The highest score is used for calculating the student’s pathway score.

23. WebXam Reports
