3. A method to recognize schools that are making gains even though the school has not met targets yet for QPA, for one or more years in: Reading Math Science History/Government Writing

4. FORMULA APPLIES TO ALL STUDENT GROUP SCHOOL CHOOSES TO USE FORMULA KSBE DETERMINES PERCENTAGE FOR INCREASE QPA REGULATION 91-31-32 (b) (1-4) QPA REGULATION 91-31-32 (b) (1-4)

7. Why Would A School Use This Formula? Another opportunity to show growth!!!

8. Expected Gain Impact on Title I Improvement Status Does not impact Title I Improvement Status for NCLB. It only applies to Kansas QPA accreditation - A school in corrective action for Title I could be “accredited on improvement” for QPA Schools are encouraged to use the formula, because of its impact on state accreditation
