2. 2 MSIP The Missouri School Improvement Program…Missouri’s system of accountability –review and classify the 524 school districts in Missouri within a five- year review cycle (since 1990) –mandated by state law –goal to promote school improvement within each district on a statewide basis –districts failing to earn accreditation face lapse or state takeover –July 1 begins first year of the 4 th MSIP Cycle

3. 3 Standards and Indicators Outline the vision and expectations for quality schools. Organized into three sections: –Performance Standards (Student achievement) –Resource Standards (Pupil teacher ratios, course offerings, teacher qualifications) –Process Standards (compliance, instructional design and practices, school climate, differentiated instruction)

4. 4 Third Cycle Annual Performance Report generated annually to evaluate performance standards Resource Report generated annually Process evaluated on-site by review team Number of points earned in Performance, Resource, and Process determine accreditation

5. 5 What we’ve learned… APR does not accurately reflect improvement needs of all 524 districts APR scores are too volatile, leading to inconsistent accreditation decisions Reviews need to focus less on compliance and more on quality in order to facilitate true improvement in student performance Reviews should focus on improvement needs in districts as determined by available data at the school, subject, and grade level District level accreditation does not always reflect individual building status –leads to conflicts in accountability systems Resource and Process do not impact accreditation

6. 6 Performance… “For an accountability system to be fair it has to be complicated.” Determines accreditation Status and Progress measures lead to More stability in APR calls More appropriate “recognition” Credit when achievement is adequate APR Provides more detailed, disaggregated data and evaluative, narrative feedback Identifies areas in need of improvement Used as a true “school improvement planning tool” Determines waiver eligibility (Limited Waiver or Full Waiver) Where we’re going …
