2. Accountability Systems
Wade Hayashida Local District 8
Accountability Systems
Federal
No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
Defines NCLB mandates for Title I schools failing to meet proficiency target
Requires all students to perform at or above proficiency by 2014 in English Language Arts and Math
State
SB 1X: Public Schools Accountability Act 1999
Academic Performance Index
3 min.
We are learning about this because the focus of the survey is addressing these accountabilities. We need to have an understanding of how students are performing within these 2 systems as It helps you keep your frame of reference focused on student needs.
It is very important to understand the difference between the 2 systems and how they address student achievement at all levels.
Federal Accountability involves: NCLB Act of 2001
Adequate Yearly Progress with the goal of every school reaching 100% proficiency or above by 2014.
Defines consequences for Title 1 schools and districts failing to reach designated targets
Requires that all students perform at or above proficiency level in Language Arts and Mathematics.
State Accountability: API is a point generating system to indicate student growth or lack of growth.

3 min.
This is the most important chart to define which students generate AYP.
This is what proficiency is, what AYP is measuring.
This is the scale score comparison to CST Performance bands.
350 and above is the only thing schools get credit for in AYP. It’s not looking at the low kids. Anything under scale score 350, you get no credit for.
If a school were to move al FBBs to BB those students would not be counted as meeting the Annual Measurable Objectives for AYP. Only students who achieve a scale score of 350 or above/ those that are proficient or advance, count in meeting the AMO criteria in AYP.

Talk through each column as it comes up
Don’t be discouraged if you think you are too far away from the required AMO.
In this example:
We are looking at the EL subgroup in English Language Arts
21.6% were proficient 78.4% were non-proficient
Compare this to column 3, the actual AMO target of 46% proficient and 54% non-proficient
The gap between 21.6% and 46% is 24.4% which is far greater than the 10% allowed for safe harbor.
To calculate the safe Harbor target in this case, we take 10% of 78.4 (non-proficient) and add it to 21.4 (proficient) to get 29.4 (proficient) as the safe harbor target
By subtracting 10% of non-proficient and adding it to proficient, it results in the safe harbor proficiency rate which is considerably more attainable. It give the school credit for significant growth, thereby meeting their AMOs for AYP in an alternative manner.

Calculating Estimated Safe Harbor
20 min.
Use the school’s current AYP report handout and the Safe Harbor activity handout. Model how to calculate Safe Harbor AMO targets for one significant subgroup in one curricular area (either ELS or Math)
Have participants calculate the Safe Harbor AMO targets for other significant subgroups in both ELA and Math
If you are running out of time, you can split up the group and have partners work on one subgroup in one area only.

API is a point generating system to indicate student growth or lack of growth. API is also a component of AYP. If you are buying a house, the realtor will be able to tell you the API in the neighborhood school. API is always discussed, and has great importance.
