1. Impact on Student Learning The conversation is about multiple indicators for this category BUT Few if any places actually have viable multiple indicators The prime and in most cases only indicator here is a value added measure derived from state summative, accountability tests 1

2. First Set of Ideas: Chart 1

3. Chart 1 Interim assessments given monthly Student data aggregated to classroom Red squares are progress line for similar classes of students in a state (or nation) Green triangles are actual class progress Yellow star is state proficiency level Shows growth during the months of just the academic year 3

4. Chart 1 Modest student learning when the class had a substitute teacher Growth happened when regular teacher returned Actual class growth (green triangles) was much greater than the reference norm (red squares) In value added terms, the class would have a high value added – performance growth was above the average (the red square trend line) for this typical classroom 4

5. Chart 1 How to use these data: 1.Shows class performed above the state proficiency level 2.Shows class performed above similar classes 3.So compare end of year score on interim assessments with end of year score on state summative test – both show exceeded proficiency? 4.Computer standard deviation of change – fall to spring and COMPARE to standard deviation of change on state summative test 5.Compare end-of-year interim assessment score to end-of- year state proficiency score, in terms of standard deviation above proficiency level, or standard deviation of growth over the year 5

6. Chart 1 How to use these data: 6.Compare growth of this class to other classes: a.In the same school b.In the same district c.With similar demographics d.In the same state e.Across the nation f.To classes in schools with similar demographics Many different ways to use the data in such a Chart 6
