Accountability ScorecardsOkemos Board of EducationSeptember 2013

Background Information• “Michigan Accountability Scorecards” replace Michigan’s AYP

report cards that were required under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001

• Michigan received a waiver from the U. S. Department of Education to develop a new accountability system for school performance

Overview• Two “levels” of Accountability Scorecards:• District Scorecards & School Scorecards

• Scorecards will use a color coding system to indicate school performance• Green (85% or greater of possible points)• Lime (70% to 85% of possible points)• Yellow (60% to 70% of possible points)• Orange (50% to 60% of possible points)• Red (less than 50% of possible points)

• Combines traditional accountability metrics with Top-to-Bottom labels and other state/federal requirements.

Color-Coded Scorecards• Colors are given to schools and districts for each “scorecard

component” and an overall color.

• Overall status color is determined using a point-based system from the number of target areas the school/district has met and the school ranking.

Decreasing # points received and increasing # targets not met…

What Changed?

What Stayed the Same?• Participation requirement = 95% for school/district overall and

all valid subgroups

• Graduation requirement = 80% for school/district overall and all valid subgroups

• Use of provisional and growth scores for accountable proficiency rates

School and District Scorecard Subgroups

Previously ONE group!

Participation Target• Two options for school/district color status for this target area.

95% Assessed Met 95% Assessed Not Met

• These colors are given ONLY on the participation target portion of the scorecard. This does not change your entire school/district status, however, it can impact your overall color.

Proficiency Targets

Targets are based on 2011-12 proficiency rates:

• (85 – current percent proficient) / 10 = annual increment

• Increments do not reset

• Proficiency targets are set using PLs 1 & 2 only (not Provisional or Growth Proficient)

• Provisional and/or Growth Proficient will help you meet targets

Proficiency Targets Example

Example school starts from 65% proficient in subject

Example school ends at (at least) 85% proficient in subject

Example School has +2% Annual Target

Proficiency “Cell” Basics• All valid subgroups (30 students or more) will have a

proficiency cell with possible points

• Schools and districts will always have an “All Students” group

• All assessed content areas will have cells (Reading, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies)

Proficiency Cell Colors and Points• Green cells are worth two points and are earned by meeting

the school’s or district’s proficiency target

• Yellow cells are worth one point and are earned by meeting the Safe Harbor target (multi-year averaging of proficiency target)

• Red cells are worth zero points and are earned by not meeting proficiency or Safe Harbor targets

• The Bottom 30% subgroup will earn a green cell and two points by meeting the Safe Harbor target

Students considered proficient are…

vs.

“Accountable Proficient” versus Proficient

For ‘True Proficiency’ purposes:•Performance Level 1 or 2

For ‘Accountable Proficiency’ purposes:•Students must attain a performance level of 1 or 2 –OR– •Students must attain a scale score that is within 2 standard errors of the proficient cut score (provisionally proficient). –OR– •Students must demonstrate growth at a rate that will allow them to reach proficiency in three years (growth proficient).

Full Academic Year (FAY)• Students that were present in the building for the last:

• 2 count days + student in end-of-year collection (Elem./M.S.)

• 3 count days + student in end-of-year collection (H.S.)

• Only FAY students can count toward a school or district’s proficiency rates for accountability purposes.

• Limits the impact of student transiency on accountability.

• Ensures that only students that have been educated by the school/district count for proficiency.

District-Wide Improvement Strategies• Analyze district and building data to determine needs (top-to-

bottom student data file, universal screeners, and common assessments)

• Focus on “high expectations for all students”

• Increase awareness for creating “culturally responsive environments” in our schools • Strategic Plan- Diversity goals

• Study special education service delivery through “Special Education Program Review Committee”

District-Wide Improvement Strategies• Continue building a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) • instructional coaches (expanded to OHS, CMS)• improved core and supplemental instruction• data analysis/ data meetings• professional development• PLCs

• Attend ISD sessions with building administrators and teacher leaders to increase skills in delivering MTSS
