Indication of how the students’ level of knowledge and skills in a school compares against state and national standards. Student Growth Indication of how rapidly a school’s students are gaining knowledge and skills from year to year regardless of where students begin. Closing Gaps Indication of how much a school is contributing to the closing of statewide achievement gaps. On-track to Graduation/ Postsecondary Readiness Indication of how successfully students are achieving educational milestones that predict postsecondary success.

Impact of New NAEP Cut Scores
Grafton Talking Point - The entire State is transitioning to this new system. We will be working with the Department of Public Instruction to learn about the new measurements and how to improve. Significantly reduces numbers and percentages of students who are Proficient and Advanced Not applied to the Wisconsin Alternative Assessment for Students with Disabilities (WAA-SwD) Does not alter data trends

Student Growth
17
Student Growth Purpose: To give schools a single measure that summarizes how rapidly their students are gaining knowledge and skills from year to year What is being measured? Progress toward higher performance levels---A point system rewards schools for students’ making improved progress and penalizes schools for regression to performance below proficient

Student Growth Overview:
Single score characterizes growth in reading and math Score projects anticipated growth SGP (Student Growth Percentile) rank Composite score for the “all students” group in the Wisconsin Student Assessment System (WSAS) Characterizes the change in WKCE scores from last year to this year, compared to others with similar score histories

Closing Gaps
24
Closing Gaps Purpose: To provide a measure that corresponds to the statewide goal of having all students improve while narrowing the achievement and graduation gaps that often separate different groups of students What is being measured? Subgroups are compared against their complementary, comparison groups Schools get credit for raising a sub-groups score and deductions for a decline in any groups performance

On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness
Purpose: Give schools an indication of how successfully students are achieving educational milestones that predict postsecondary readiness.
28
On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness
Talking Point - Accountability ratings are not only based on student test scores. Multiple measures give a more accurate picture of how effective our schools are.

Student Engagement Indicators
Purpose: Establish performance expectations for all elementary schools in two areas that are vital for measuring school effectiveness: Absenteeism Rate 3rd Grade Reading Achievement Overall school accountability score is reduced by five points for each goal that is not met.
