1. Learning Growth Model Chelsie, Laura, Emily

2. What is Learning Growth Model? Chelsie Dobberstein

3. LGM or Learning Growth Model ✾ Allowed Indiana to be waved from NCLB ✾ Takes a student’s ISTEP+ scores from year 1 and finds other student with the same score to form peer groups. ✾ In year 2 of testing, the students in each peer group’s scores are compared to see how each student scored based on their peers.

4. Goal of LGM ✾ Focus on outputs of education and expect progress from all students not just those close to passing ✾ “Catch up, Keep up, Move up”

5. DOE and Usage  DOE  Shows which students show typical, low and high growth  Shows if students are making appropriate progress  Usage  Can be used to display students, school and district results to educators and/or the public  This allows parents, teachers and administrators to see the progress made my a student year to year.

6. Public Release  Started February 10 th  Divided into 3 phases to roll out the data to the public

7. Phase 1  Administration has received the data and it is currently being examined internally

8. Phase 2  Takes off later in the winter  Allows school to receive more detailed reports of their students and corporation

9. Phase 3  Takes off in late spring  Uses the Learning Connection website to provide educators and schools with a secure access to individual students growth data

10. Question 1 In a student’s peer group, what are their peers scores compared to their own? a. Higher b. Lower c. The Same

11. Question 2 What state is Indiana’s model based on? a. Illinois b. California c. Texas d. Colorado

12. Question 3 LGM’s goal is to focus on ______________ from all students not just those close to passing a. Outputs of education and expect progress b. Outputs of education c. Progress

13. Question 4 When was the LGM’s model launched? a. Feb. 1 st b. Feb. 10 th c. Mar. 1 st d. Jan. 23 rd

14. Question 5 Who has access to the students’ scores from year to year? a. Teachers b. Parents, Teachers and Administrators c. Administrators d. Government officials

15. Question 6 How many phases are there in the process of releasing the data to the schools and public? a. 3 b. 4 c. 5 d. 2

16. What does the Learning Growth Model Do? Laura Francis

17. What does the Learning Growth Model do? ✾ It is a statistical model to calculate each student’s progress on state assessments from year to year. ✾ The Learning Growth Model answers more than whether a student passes or fails

18. Question 1 In what grade is the Learning Growth Model implemented? A. 5 th Grade B. Kindergarten C. 1 st Grade D. 3 rd Grade

19. What does the Learning Growth Model do?  What is the peer group?  All the students with the same exact scores on one section of the ISTEP in the third grade become a peer group.  Each peer group may be made up of several students.  Through the Learning Growth Model the students in each peer group are compared with each other throughout state assessments.

20. Question 2 This model answers more than if a student passes or fails. True or False

21. What does the LGM compare?  Can only students be compared through the Learning Growth Model?  No, in fact the Learning Growth Model can compare schools’ and districts’ growth as well.  The Learning Growth Model can highlight teachers’ abilities.  Since most state assessments can only determine whether a student passes or fail, it is usually assumed that the teacher did not fulfill his/her duty if one of their students fails.

22. Question 3 Only students’ growth is compared in the Learning Growth Model. True or False

23. How the Learning Growth Model works… Emily Spencer

24. Learning Growth Model Graph  Three Categories  High  Typical  Low  If school is continuing in high percentile there is no improvement.

25. What it shows us?  Student Scores:  compares the students  School Scores:  Compares schools within districts  District Scores  Compares districts within states  Teacher Scores:  Shows where each teacher fell

26. What it shows us?  Mathematics  Language Arts

27. Minor Areas it can Compare?  Gender  Grade  History  Ethnicity  Other  Within the student, school, district, or teacher.

28. Graph  Divided into 4 Areas.  High achieving and High growth  High achieving and Low growth  Low achieving and High growth  Low achieving and Low growth

29. Schools  Northern Indiana  East Allen County Schools  Central Indiana  Delaware Community Schools  Central Indiana  Carmel Clay Schools  Southern Indiana  Mitchell Community Schools
