3. Learning Targets:
I can give a general overview of the Kentucky state accountability process.
I can identify the strengths and areas of growth for each school in the district.
I can discuss and understand the process that each school will implement for continuous improvement.
I will have an understanding of what we as a board can do to support the schools as they look to improve in specific areas.

5. Changes
Elementary and middle school science results based on scores on a new science assessment aligned with the Kentucky Academic Standards in Science, thus science scores cannot be compared to prior years
High school results in reading, mathematics and science are based on student scores on the junior year administration of the ACT.
New End-of-Course exams in Algebra II, English II and Biology were field tested so scores are not valid for accountability.
New social studies standards are under development, so there was no social studies testing at the high school level.

6. Changes (cont.)
High school Transition Readiness includes expanded measures and replaces college and career-readiness. Neither dual credit nor exceptional work experience will count toward high school readiness until
Progress toward English proficiency for English learners (ELs) is used for determining school classifications for the first time. At elementary/middle it is part of Growth indicator. At high, part of transition readiness.
Accountability comparisons with previous years are not valid. Accountability comparisons can be made at the indicator level for
KDE is developing a new online School Report Card that will go online with accountability, assessment and other data later this year.

7. Comprehensive and Targeted Support Schools
Schools will receive an identification of CSI, TSI or Other
Ability to exit CSI or TSI status will occur annually
Continued services will be offered
Services will be offered to schools/districts with very low performance (CSI).

8. CSI/TSI Components 2017-2018 Proficiency
Reading and Math are equally weighted
Schools rated on performance levels (N=0, A=.5, P=1, D=1.25)

10. Proficiency
Student performance on state tests in reading and mathematics
Achievement status will be Novice (N), Apprentice (A), Proficient (P), and Distinguished (D)
Indicator scores are generated by a weighted average with the values N=0, A=.5, P=1 and D=1.25

11. Separate Academic Indicator
Student performance on state tests in science, social studies and writing
Achievement status will be Novice (N), Apprentice (A), Proficient (P), and Distinguished (D)
Indicator scores are generated by a weighted average with the values N=0, A=.5, P=1 and D=1.25
All tested content areas science, social studies and writing contribute equally to the indicator

12. Growth Indicator
Student’s continuous improvement toward the goal of proficiency
Growth is measured at elementary and middle school levels in reading and mathematics using the K-PREP
English Learner (EL) progress on Language Proficiency will be evaluated using the ACCESS for ELLs exam and included in the reading calculation
Each student’s growth is projected into the future and evaluated as to whether the student is “less than catch up,” “catching up,” “keeping up,” or “moving up”

The Growth Value Table assigns points per student based current year performance coupled with that student’s prior year performance and other students’ similar performance through the years. This is a projection for where the data says that this student will be performing in two (2) years without intervention.
L= Less Than Catch Up
C = Catch Up
K = Keep Up
M = Move Up
Novice and Apprentice categories have been subdivided into Low and High

14. Mathematics Growth Measure:
Points are assigned from the Growth Value Table from the assessment for academic proficiency (K-PREP)
Reading Growth Measure:
Points from the Growth Value Table from the assessment for academic proficiency (K-PREP).
Points from the English Learner (EL) Growth Table based on the current composite score from the Language Proficiency assessment (ACCESS 2.0).

WIDA ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 is the current Language Proficiency assessment used by Kentucky.
A composite score of 4.5 allows a student to exit from EL services.

16. Graduation Rate (Cohort)
The graduation rate is the percentage of students completing the requirements for a Kentucky high school diploma compared to a cohort of students beginning at grade 9
Graduation rate calculations are based on the students’ final enrollment
The Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate is defined as the number of students who graduate in four or five years with a regular high school diploma divided by the number of students who entered high school four or five years earlier adjusting for transfers in and out, émigrés and deceased students.
Compute the 4-year rate by using the numbers for 4 years and do the same for the 5 year rate.

17. Transition Readiness
Transition Readiness is the attainment of the necessary knowledge, skills and dispositions for a student to successfully transition to the next level of his or her educational career.
For , Transition Readiness will be used to identify schools for Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI), Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI), and Other at the high school only.  

18. High School
Students at the high school level must earn a high school diploma and meet one type of readiness (Academic or Career).
In addition, students who have received English Language services during high school must meet criteria for English language proficiency.

19. Academic Readiness (2017-18)
Benchmarks, determined by Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) on a college admissions exam; OR
A score of 3+ on exams in 2 or more Advanced Placement courses; OR
A score of 5+ on 2 exams for International Baccalaureate courses; OR
Benchmarks on 2 or more Cambridge Advanced International examinations; OR
Completing a combination of academic readiness indicators above.
Demonstration of academic readiness shall include one quantitative reasoning or natural sciences, and one written or oral communication, arts and humanities, or social and behavioral sciences learning outcomes.

20. Career Readiness ( )
