2. Scatter Plots PowerPoint This PowerPoint is divided into 2 sections Grades 4-8, Reading and Math Grade 11, Reading and Math The reason for these 2 different sections is that a different methodology is used for grade 11 than is used in grades 4-8, Reading and Math. The PSSA is not administered in grades 9 and 10. Hence there is not consecutive grades of testing as there are in grades 4-8, Reading and Math.

3. Focus of Scatter Plots This presentation provides a comparison among the scatter plots in Grades 4-8, and 11 Math and Reading for: o All 4-8, and 11 th grades in the state o All 4-8, and 11 th grades in the IU o all 4-8, and 11 th grades in the selected district

5. SY09-10 Scatter Plots Grades 4-8, Reading and Math The PSSA-PVAAS Scatter Plots visually display the following data from the statewide distribution of PSSA results for SY09-10: From PSSA, the percent of students in each grade who scored proficient or advanced on the last PSSA exam. The horizontal line is the Annual Measurable Objective (AMO) target percent – the % needed to meet AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) for SY09-10. From PVAAS, the growth value of the cohort of students in each grade – A value of 0 indicates that the cohort has experienced a year’s growth. Any value to the right of the 0 line indicates that there has been more than a year’s worth of growth. Any value to the left of the 0 line indicates that there has been less than a year’s worth of growth. Each dot represents a school which has been placed on the graph based on % proficient/advanced and growth/gain from PVAAS. The following two slides explain the meaning of each of the quadrants in each scatter plot.
