3. 3

4. 4 Florida’s Differentiated Accountability Model Consolidates Title I Schools, non-Title I, and Charter schools in need of improvement (SINIs) Differentiates schools into five categories based on a combination of school grade and percent of AYP criteria met

5. 5 Schools In Need of Improvement Year AYP Status Designation 7+School does not make AYPSINI 6+ 6School does not make AYPSINI 5 5School does not make AYPSINI 4 4School does not make AYPSINI 3 3School does not make AYPSINI 2 2School does not make AYPSINI 1 1School does not make AYPSINI 0

6. 6 Other Methods of making AYP Safe Harbor Growth Model

7. 7 Safe Harbor Applies only to those subgroups not meeting Reading and/or Mathematics targets The percentage of non-proficient students must be decreased by 10% from the prior year in the subject being evaluated. The subgroup must make progress in writing proficiency and graduation rate.

8. 8 Growth Model Applies only to those subgroups not meeting Reading and/or Mathematics targets through the Status Model or Safe Harbor Three-year growth trajectory based on students previous scores compared to proficiency at a later point in time

9. 9 Five School Categories Prevent ISchool directs intervention, District assists State monitors Correct IDistrict directs intervention State reviews progress Prevent IIDistrict directs intervention and provides assistance Correct IISchool and District implement state- directed intervention InterveneSchool and District implement state- directed interventions and face possible closure

10. 10 Prevent I SINI 1, 2, and 3 schools AND Schools with a school grade of A, B, and C that have met at least 80% of AYP indicators.

11. 11 Correct I SINI 4 or 5+, schools planning for or implementing Restructuring AND Schools with a school grade of A, B, and C that have met at least 80% of AYP indicators. Schools with an improved school grade of at least a C that have met at least 80% of AYP indicators.

12. 12 Prevent II SINI 1, 2, and 3 schools AND Schools with a grade of D or F that have met fewer than 80% of AYP indicators All Title I “D” and “F” schools

13. 13 Correct II SINI 4 or 5+, schools planning for or implementing Restructuring AND Schools that have met fewer than 80% of AYP indicators. All Title I schools with a school grade of “D” or “F” All non-Title I “D” schools All non-Title I “Repeating F” and “F” schools

14. 14 Criteria to Identify Intervene Schools School grade of “D” or “F” in current year OR School earned two “F” grades in a four year period All non-Title I “Repeating F” and “F” schools AND A “yes” answer to three of the following four questions:

15. 15 Questions to Identify Intervene Schools Has the percentage of non-proficient students in reading increased or stayed the same (failed to improve) since 2003? Has the percentage of non-proficient students in mathematics increased or stayed the same (failed to improve) since 2003? Are 65 percent or more of the school’s students non- proficient in reading? Are 65 percent or more of the school’s students non- proficient in mathematics?
