Everyone has received some type of report card when in school—some good, some not so good. As a student, a report card shows strengths and weaknesses in student performance. Now schools, districts and the state have report cards that show how each performs. Schools and districts can also see how they compared to others at the same level.

The 2014 SRC Accountability Profile includes new Overall Scores and Performance based on the combination of Learners (77%) and Program Reviews (23%), but only provides comparable data.
 New Baseline for 2013 (67.3) with a new 2014 AMO Goal (68.3) as reported in December 2013 in KDE’s Open House.
 New 2014 Overall Score (70.9) is compared to 2014 AMO Goal and is over 70th percentile (Classification=Proficient)
 The 2013 and 2014 Overall Score and Percentiles are comparable, but 2013 Classification and Rewards were based on Next Generation Learners in 2013 and are N/A for the 2014 SRC.
 New Accountability Components table with comparable data for Learners, Program Reviews and Combined Results is provided. The Learners component includes the 2013 Learners score (61.3) used in the 2013 SRC for accountability.

6. Accountability Profile Discussion Points
What is our overall score?
What is our percentile rank? (Remember this is a percentile not a percentage.)
What is our distance from the Overall Score associated with proficiency (70th percentile) and AMO for 2015?
What is our Classification? Do we have a Rewards or Assistance Category?
Are we where we want to be?
Annual Measurable Objective is the gain or improvement expected on the Overall Score in 2013.
In 2012, the percentile rank set the improvement/gain needed in 2013.
70th percentile and above gain of .5
69th percentile and below gain of 1
Relationship between Overall Score and Percentile Rank is locked annually until complete Unbridled Learning is implemented, then it is locked for five years.
A percentile is the value of a variable below which a certain percent of observations (scores) fall. For example, if a score is in the 86th percentile, it is higher than 85% of the other scores.
A percentage is a number or ratio as a fraction of 100. Percentages are used to express how large/small one quantity is, relative to another quantity. For example, 45% is 45/100.

9. Learners Questions
Looking at the five categories, generalize what is seen.
Looking at the weighted score, in which category do we score the lowest? Why?
Looking at the weighted score, in which category do we score the highest? Why?
Note: After identifying the category with the lowest weighted score, the next step is to click on the tab identified and drill down with further questions for each category.
The maximum weighted score in each category is the weight for the category.
For example, Achievement is 30% of Elementary, and 30 is the highest weighted score possible for Achievement at the elementary level.

11. Accountability - Learners Tab - Achievement Tab - Grade Level Breakdown
After picking a subject area, you can click on the specific grade levels to view further breakdown of the data. Use this to compare performance level by groups of students.
Remember: 1) Novice, Apprentice, Proficient, Distinguished(NAPD) Calculation comes from the formula: N=0; A=.5; P/D=1(Bonus of .5 is added if there are more distinguished than novice.) 2) Points come from the NAPD Calculation multiplied by the equal weight of content areas: Reading, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies are 20% and Writing/Language Mechanics is 20% (Writing 16% and Language Mechanics 4%)
KDE:OAA:DSR:clw 9/19/2014 11

12. Achievement Questions
Which NAPD performance level shows the lowest percentage of students for reading, mathematics, etc.?
Which performance level shows the highest percentage of students for reading, mathematics, etc.?
What can we do to increase P/D while reducing N/A? (e.g., instructional strategies, increasing teacher training and professional development)
Do any particular subgroups stand out as needing improvement more than others? (sample shows highest percent novice are students with IEPs)
Novice (N), Apprentice (A), Proficient (P), Distinguished (D)
Language mechanics is 4% of writing. At high school, the ACT Plan language usage score is used. NAPD cuts are aligned to the quartiles (1-24, 25-49, 50-74, 75-99) of the national percentile rank.

KDE:OAA:DSR:clw 9/19/2014

14. Accountability – Learners – Gap – Subject Breakdown
Remember: 1). NAPD Calculation for Gap comes from the percent of Proficient/Distinguished only in the Non-duplicated Gap Group. 2). Points come from the NAPD Calculation multiplied by the equal weight of content areas: Reading, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies being 20% and Writing/Language Mechanics 20% (Writing 16% and Language Mechanics 4%).
KDE:OAA:DSR:clw 9/19/2014

15. Gap Questions In what content area are Gap students most challenged?
In what content area are Gap students most successful?
In what content area do we have the largest percent of P/D performance?
How are we identifying our Gap students?
By subject area, drill down to see areas for improvement and how we compare in the district/state.
Gap data reports the percent of non-duplicated gap students scoring proficient or distinguished in each content area.
If a student is a member of one of the individual student groups (African American, Hispanic, Native American, students with disability (IEP), free/reduced price lunch and Limited English Proficient), then the student is included the non-duplicated gap group. 
-The student only counts once toward the non-duplicated gap group score in each content area. 
-Minimum for reporting is 10. 
-Non-duplicated gap students are identified in the student listing spreadsheets.

16. Accountability – Learners– Growth
Reminder: Growth Points Total comes from average of Reading Percent and Mathematics Percent of students making typical annual growth (at or above the 40th Student Growth Percentile).
School district leaders will want to use spreadsheets (student listings) to analyze individual student data.
KDE:OAA:DSR:clw 9/19/2014

17. Growth Questions
Typical Growth is at the 40th percentile; what percentage of our students are not there in reading? Mathematics?
Which subject has the highest Growth?
What do Growth percentiles look like for students who scored Distinguished or Novice? (Refer to spreadsheet and student listing, to identify specific students.)
What can we do to improve Growth for students below the 40th percentile? (Refer to spreadsheet and student listing, to identify specific students.)
How does our school/district compare to Growth in other schools/districts?
KDE:OAA:DSR:clw 9/19/2014

18. Accountability – Learners – CCR – Student Breakdown
Remember: Percentage of graduates College and/or Career Ready shows non-duplicated totals for a school. Bonus is added, if applicable.
KDE:OAA:DSR:clw 9/19/2014

19. CCR Questions
What are the criteria for the 3 categories – college, career or both?
How many students were determined college ready? Career ready? Earned Bonus?
How do we compare to other schools in the district/state?
What is the college/career readiness percentage for specific student groups within our school? What are the implications for instruction and curriculum?
Knowing what it takes to be CCR, look at ACT performance of current seniors. What can we do to get more students ready? Are we using COMPASS/KYOTE?
All G-Code students need opportunities to show readiness.
All G-Code students that have a 100 day enrollment (full academic year) are included in CCR accountability reporting.
-College Ready: If student does not take the ACT in March or at a national administration, use COMPASS or KYOTE.
-Career Ready: Students must be on a Career and Technical Education Preparatory track to take KOSSA and earn credit for Industry Certifications with CCR calculation. 
-ASVAB or WorkKeys results only add to CCR calculation for Career and Technical Education students.
To earn the Bonus, students must be college ready and have met the Career Technical requirement (KOSSA or industry certification).
