ESEA FLEXIBILITY, PRIORITY AND FOCUS SCHOOLS:

UPDATE

HOW DOES ESEA FLEX HELP MI?

• Supports career and college ready focus for all students

• Increased focus on accelerating student achievement and closing gaps

• Modifies current accountability to reflect cut scores; eliminates requirement of 100% proficient by 2014 and identification of all schools not making AYP.

• Helps enhance system of supports• Targets resources

Page 6: July 30, 2012 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. by Doug Greer.  What will accountability such as AYP look like this August and how will this impact our district?  What.

1. Timeline for Determining Adequate Yearly Progress, 100% by 2013-14

2. Implementation of School Improvement Requirements, Corrective Actions & Restructuring for schools not making AYP at the LEA level

3. Same as above at SEA level

4. Rural LEA $$$ dependent on AYP status

5. School wide Title I eligibility requires 40%+ F/R

6. Support of School Improvement ($ follows NCLB labels i.e. Improvement, Corrective Action & Restructuring)

7. Reward Schools $ Incentives section 1117(c) - unfunded

8. Highly Qualified Teachers Improvement Plans

9. Transfer Certain Funds to Title I-A limited

10. School Improvement Grant Funds to Support Priority Schools 1003(g)

(Optional) Use of 21st Century Community Learning Center Program Funds (MI elected not to waive this but did add “replacement of principal”)

Page 7: July 30, 2012 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. by Doug Greer.  What will accountability such as AYP look like this August and how will this impact our district?  What.

Four Principles

1. College and Career Ready Expectations for all Students (CCSS, new cut scores and SBAC)

2. State-Developed Differentiated Recognition, Accountability, and Support (Reward, Focus, Priority)

3. Supporting Effective Instruction and Leadership (Option A focuses on teacher evaluations in Waiver currently in development with MCEE)

4. Reducing Duplication and Unnecessary Burden

Page 8: July 30, 2012 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. by Doug Greer.  What will accountability such as AYP look like this August and how will this impact our district?  What.

Principal 2 – Accreditation & Accountability

1. Top to Bottom Ranking given to all schools with 30 or more students tested, full academic year (0 – 99th percentile where 50th is average)

2. NEW designation for some schools Reward schools (Top 5%, Significant Improvement or

Beating the Odds) Focus schools (10% of schools with the largest

achievement gab between the top and bottom) Priority schools (Bottom 5%, replaces PLA list)

3. NEW in 2013, AYP Scorecard based on point system replacing the “all or nothing” of NCLB.

ACCOUNTABILITY SCORECARD (2013)

• Will replace AYP

• Differentiated targets for each school, based on getting to 85% proficient in 10 years

• Subgroup targets = same as school

• Safe harbor based on four year improvement slope.

Priority)

New Cut Scores …◦ Therefore, students had “higher” proficiency

levels (i.e. 1’s became 2’s, 2’s became 3’s, etc.)◦ Achievement Status is based on an Index number

whose denominator is computed by summing the “higher” proficiency levels.

Index numbers decreased

however, State legislation did NOT change.

Before we move on to the Top to Bottom Rankings and NEW designations (Reward, Focus or Priority) …

What questions do you have about the upcoming release of AYP status and EdYES! Report Cards (letter grades)?

NOTE: Our communications team, led by Michelle Ready, has talking points & a sample letter available for you today!

TOP TO BOTTOM RANKINGRanks all schools in the state with at least 30 full academic year students in at least two tested content areas (Reading, Writing, Math, Science and Social Studies weighted equally plus graduation).•Each content area is “normed” in three categories:

• 2 years of Achievement (50 – 67%)• 3 – 4 years of Improvement (0 – 25%)• Achievement gaps between top and bottom (25 – 33%)

•Graduation rate (10% if applicable)• 2 year Rate (67%)• 4 year slope of improvement (33%)

WHAT ARE PRIORITY SCHOOLS?

30

• Formerly known as PLA schools (Federal and state accountability now aligned)

• Bottom 5% replaces the tiered list as the identification strategy for PLA schools (includes both Title I and non-Title I schools)

• Year 1 planning (Closure, Restart, Turn-around or Transformation), Year 2 – 4 Implementation

Page 31: July 30, 2012 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. by Doug Greer.  What will accountability such as AYP look like this August and how will this impact our district?  What.

WHAT ARE FOCUS SCHOOLS?

31

• Schools with the largest achievement gaps.

• Achievement gap is defined as the difference between the average scale score for the top 30% of students and the bottom 30% of students.

• This methodology is an improvement over using a solely demographic-based gap methodology because it targets achievement gaps.

Page 32: July 30, 2012 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. by Doug Greer.  What will accountability such as AYP look like this August and how will this impact our district?  What.

WHAT ARE FOCUS SCHOOLS?

32

• Identifying Focus Schools is a critical component to Michigan achieving key goals:• -to close the achievement gap within schools

• -to reduce the achievement gap statewide

• Common Concerns• Are schools more likely to be Focus schools if they have

____________ kids (fill in the blank)?

• Does methodology target high performing schools?

• Does methodology target high socio-econ classes?

ARE CERTAIN TYPES OF SCHOOLS MORE LIKELY TO BE FOCUS SCHOOLS?

• Have not detected any significant patterns yet

• Continuing to analyze the data

• Because metric compares top 30 percent of kids to bottom 30 percent of kids in the school, it’s unlikely the gap is being driven exclusively by one group or type of kids.

Before we move on to the last section regarding IF you have a Focus school …

What questions do you have about the upcoming release of Top to Bottom rankings and NEW designations (Priority, Focus and Reward schools)?

Page 41: July 30, 2012 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. by Doug Greer.  What will accountability such as AYP look like this August and how will this impact our district?  What.

Summer, 2012: MDE development of toolkit based on MI School Imp. Framework and Academy of Pacesetting Districts.

August 2: Public release of Focus schools

District responds with communications with the support of OAISD talking points.

September: Districts will be provided a toolkit and possibly a “DIF” District Improvement Facilitator (if multiple Title I buildings)

Page 42: July 30, 2012 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. by Doug Greer.  What will accountability such as AYP look like this August and how will this impact our district?  What.

Deep data diagnosis led by toolkit and/or DIF by October 1, 2012.

Oct. 1 – Jan. 30: Professional dialogue led by toolkit and/or DIF, revised SIP and Cons. App.

Quarterly reports to school board required.

Unlike Priority label, Focus label may only be one year. (MDE monitors both Top and Bottom 30% for improvement)

Page 43: July 30, 2012 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. by Doug Greer.  What will accountability such as AYP look like this August and how will this impact our district?  What.

Some schools may be exempt from Focus school designation in year 2 IF they are deemed Good-Getting-Great (G-G-G):◦ Overall achievement is above 75th percentile◦ Bottom 30% meets Safe Harbor improvement (or

possibly AYP differentiated improvement)

G-G-G schools will be exempt for 2 years, then will need to reconvene a similar deep diagnostic study in year 4.

Note: See ESEA Approved Waiver pp. 151-152

Page 44: July 30, 2012 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. by Doug Greer.  What will accountability such as AYP look like this August and how will this impact our district?  What.

Tuesday, July 31: “Embargoed” notice to district superintendents of Priority and Focus schools

Thursday, August 2: Public release likely of the following:◦ Ed YES! Report Card (old letter grade)◦ AYP Status (old pass or fail system)◦ Top to Bottom Ranking and possibly:

Reward schools (Top 5%, Top improvement, BtO) Focus schools (largest achievement gap top vs.

bottom) Priority schools (Bottom 5%)
