Goal for 2010-2011
AYP in every subject, at every grade level, and for every
subgroup.
What is AYP?
Adequate Yearly Progress
How AYP is Calculated: A + (B or C) + D = Affirmative AYP Determination
+ OR +
2011 MCAS Results
Due to be released next week Headline
Slow, Steady Progress in Most Grades Some Real Progress in Some Grades
AYP Results
Areas for possible AYP Aggregate 3 schools X 2 subjects = 6
Made AYP in 4
Subgroups 3 schools X 2 subjects = 6
Made AYP in 1
But AYP is becoming ever harder to reach, so…CPI Results
In 14 tests given in ELA and Math CPI Improvement in 9
Percentage of Students Scoring Advanced or Proficient For the 17 tests given last spring, the
percentage of students scoring Advance or Proficient increased in 13
On 3 of those test, the increase was more than 10 percentage points E.g. From 34% scoring A or P up to 46%
Student Growth Percentile Measures growth of student in a year
compared to a similar cohort based on testing history
Below 40 is slow 40-60 is “normal” Above 60 is fast
Student Growth Percentiles Of the 14 test for which a SGP could
be calculated Slow growth in 5 Normal Growth in 4 Fast Growth in 5
We are doing the right things… Not often enough
Not widespread enough
Last year, we said
•A focus on academic achievement• Clear curriculum choices• Frequent assessment of student progress and multiple opportunities for improvement• An emphasis on nonfiction writing• Collaborative scoring of student work
