NC Definition of Formative Assessment
– Formative assessment is a process used by teachers
and students during instruction that provides feedback
to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to help
students improve their achievement of intended
instructional outcomes.

Responding to School Performance Grades (SPG)
• The SBE must respond to the General Assembly “…annually by January 15 on recommended adjustments to the school performance grade elements and scales for award of scores and grades.”
• Additionally, SECTION 7A.3.(f) indicates:“It is the intent of the General Assembly to add a student growth component to school performance grades.”
• Operational in 2012-13

How each indicator is defined
Performance Composite (Elementary and High)
• Percent of proficient tests in a school• All tests, subjects, and grade levels• Uses the EOG/EOC test data
Algebra II/Integrated III
• Percent of 4-year cohort graduates who take and pass Alg. II or Int. Math III• Excludes the 1% population
Graduation Rate • Percent of students that graduate within 4 years (4-year cohort graduation rate)
WorkKeys • Percent of seniors who are CTE concentrators who achieve a Silver certificate, or better, on the WorkKeys assessment
ACT • The average sum of the 5 sub-tests across the school compared to the sum of the college- ready benchmarks

Sum of Scores
Matt 83
Mark 94
Luke 75
John 79
Paul 80
then
“The average sum of the 5 sub-tests across the school compared to the sum of the college-ready benchmarks” can be found by…
1) Averaging the Summed Scores83 + 94 + 75 +79 + 80
5 students= 82.2
2) Dividing by summed college-ready benchmarks
82.2/92 = 89% and 89 points

A closer look at the ACT
Rationale for this suggested methodology:
• Hold schools accountable for the degree to which their students are progressing towards achieving benchmark (rather than a simple yes/no)
• Will better differentiate grades
• Possibility for pushback?

Proposal for Addition of Growth
• Using EVAAS Growth outcomes, adjust overall score based on EVAAS category
– Exceeded Expected Growth: Add 10 points
– Met Expected Growth: Add 5 points
– Did Not Meet Growth: No points
Draft – March 2012. Check http://www.ncpublicschools.org/ready/resources/ for Updates to this Presentation 56
Rationale for this suggested methodology:
• Incentivizes pursuit of growth
• Can make a one-letter grade difference between school with similar status
• Grades still mean something largely consistent and comparable for parents

Overall Grade
• Elementary/Middle Schools– Single component– 100 point scale
• High Schools– Five components 0-500 points– Divide by 5 to achieve a 100 point scale
• In both cases, make the Growth Adjustment (0, 5 or 10 points)
