13. Access to PVAAS Teacher Specific Reporting
Remind LEAs: This is CONFIDENTIAL reporting
Example Situation of Concern:
Including “coaches” on review of teacher reporting
Bargaining Unit members?
Showing summary reports if small “N” of teachers
LEA decision on access to teacher reporting
Which “roles” in LEA have access?
Which “roles” in LEA do NOT/should NOT have access?
Access should be provided via individual PVAAS account
Use of account access is reflected in PVAAS
“digital footprint”

14. IU Access to LEA PVAAS Reporting: While Waiting for Access….
LEAs can create an account for you WITHOUT student level access and WITHOUT access to teacher reporting
This account can then be deleted when your IU Access is activated

15. PVAAS Keystone Reporting for Districts/Schools
Rules for district/school reporting are different than
teacher reporting
Class of 2017 and beyond:
Student Enrolled in Keystone Course: Score Used
Student NOT Enrolled in Keystone Course: Score Used
Classes of 2015 and 2016:
Student NOT Enrolled in Keystone Course: Score NOT Used
This is year 3 for this business rule
This business rule was established as a result of SIGNIFICANT feedback to PDE from LEAs

16. PVAAS Teacher Reporting
Composite v. Single Year/Subject/Grade

17. Composite v. Single Year/Grade/Subject
Why Colors not “Matching”?
(example: Composite is Red, Each Subject is Yellow or Green)
Composite includes more than one year of data
Composite incudes more students
Composite may include more than one subject/grade, across years
Therefore, there is “more evidence” in composite than single subject/grade/course
Teachers are “assumed green”, unless there is enough evidence to indicate otherwise

18. Help Menu: Composite v. Single Year/Grade/Subject

19. Current Projections to SAT
Current PVAAS projections to SAT are NOT to the “NEW” version of the SAT
PVAAS SAT Projections to the “NEW” SAT will be available after ONE year/cohort of students takes the “NEW” SAT
Can you use the current projections to SAT – YES!
How?
If “NEW” SAT is perceived to be MORE rigorous:
Consider using a “higher %” of probability for reaching the specified benchmark
80% likelihood instead of 70% likelihood
