LAUSD has incorporated moredata

Provides a wider set of results Worked with a broad set of

national and regional experts onthe development of our model.

Our model has a measure ofstatistical confidence.

Does not count students who havenot spent enough time in theclassroom or who do not have aprior year score.

The times did not have accessto many of the studentdemographic characteristics.

Their results were school-wideand did not separate ELA andMath.

The Times aggregated acrossmultiple years, while AGT onlyreports one year and threeyear results.

Phase In Plan

Phase I Research and Development (SY 20102011): During thisschool year, we will put in place a series of efforts, including inputby all stakeholders, to analyze data and current practices and builda new evaluation tool which looks at many measures, not just studenttest data. This model will also look at ways to provide additional

compensation for employees who are meeting the needs of students.

Phase II Initial Implementation (SY 20112012): Next year, thedistrict will test these new measures with a sample set of schools andidentify ways to implement this system across the District.

Phase III Scale (SY 20122013): The third year of our planinvolves district-wide implementation and working on improvingquality for all schools.
