1. What Do the Part B 618 Table 6 Data Tell Us?

2. X APR and Table 6 of 618 – Trail of History
APR (looks a lot like Table 6)
SPP (new format)
SEPARATE
04-05 Table 6
APR Table 6 attached! X

3. Why Is This Important?
Table 6 Provides the Backbone to APR Indicator 3
Clear Picture of Participation and Performance in States
National Summary by Content, Type of Assessment, and Grade

4. What do the data tell us?
We know how difficult your job as data managers can be!!!

5. Participation
More SWDs take regular assessments in elementary than in MS and HS
Fewer SWDs take alternate assessments
41% (Reading) to 45% (Math) of SWDs take the regular assessment with accommodations
Participation Rates are nearly identical for both content areas (Math and Reading)

7. Performance
As grade increases, fewer SWDs are proficient on regular assessments
The percentage of SWDS proficient on alternate assessments and out of level tests remains fairly constant
In 5 states more than 1% of ALL students are proficient on an alternate assessment
More students are proficient in reading than in math as grade level progresses

10. Alternate Assessments
Grade Level Achievement Standards
Participation (n=10 states): Math 8.1%, Read 8.5%
Range: 0.0% to 20.7%
Performance (n=9 states): Math 5.5%, Read 6.1%
Range: 0.0% to 18.2%
Alternate Achievement Standards
Participation (n=50): ES 8.8%, MS 9.6%, HS 9.8%
Range: < 1% to > 60%
Performance (n=48): ES 4.6%, MS 5.0%, HS 5.8%
Range: < 0.3% to > 30%

11. Annual Performance Reports (APRs)
Participation: 97% for both content areas across grades (By grade-level not available)
Analysis of 40 states who had adequate data (30 of these met their target for part.)
Proficiency: Math: 36%, Reading: 38%
Analysis of 32 states who had adequate data (16 of these met their target for perf.)
States setting lower targets “Met” them
