1 1 Mississippi Department of Education Office of Research and Statistics Ken Thompson, Director January 20, 2011 Understanding The Mississippi Growth Model

2 2 State Accountability Model The State Accountability Model consists of three components: 1.Achievement 2.Growth 3.High School Completion

3 What is the QDI? The Quality of Distribution Index (QDI) is a measurement of student performance on a particular day QDI doesn’t consider past performance. QDI measures how well schools are moving students between proficiency levels (i.e. “crossing the bar”.) 33

4 What is the QDI? 44 The formula for the Quality of Distribution (QDI) is: QDI = % Basic + (2 X % Proficient) + (3 X % Advanced) The QDI can range from a low of “0” to a high of “300”

5 What is Growth? Growth is a measurement of whether a student scored as well as predicted. Growth doesn’t look at how students are moving between proficiency levels (“crossing the bar”). Growth describes changes in scores rather than proficiency levels. 55

6 Most Asked Questions by Schools How can my QDI go up, but I still didn’t meet growth? How can my QDI go down, but I met growth? How do I compute growth? 66

7 QDI Measures how many are crossing the bar? November 2009 Copyright © 2009 Mississippi Department of Education 77

8 Growth measures how much higher and not necessarily measure if you cross the bar November 2009 Copyright © 2009 Mississippi Department of Education 88

9 Think of the size of the arrow as relative growth November 2009 Copyright © 2009 Mississippi Department of Education 99

13 How about growth… 13 While QDI uses proficiency levels to measure performance on one administration of the assessment … Growth uses scale scores to compare student performance with expected student performance. 13

14 Calculating Growth 14 Student8 th Grade Language Arts Scale Score 8 th Grade Mathematics Scale Score #1133152 #2150147 #3139143 #4136148 #5150147 14 As with QDI, Growth has a formula. To calculate growth, substitute the scale scores into the growth formula.
