2010-11 Sc hool Tiering Overview - Review

• Tiering c riteria for Elementary/ Middle Schools will fo llow the 2009-10approac h, with the add itions of the Sc hool Climate Surveys inrep lac ement o f TCRS and a Peer Sc hool Index to a llow for c omparisonof student p op ula tions

• Tiering c rite ria for High Schools will emphasize a c omparison of theperc enta ge o f students on trac k to high sc hoo l graduation, asc ompared to the p erc enta ge o f students a rriving in high sc hoo l rea dyfor 9th grade w ork. High Sc hool Tiering will a lso inc lud e the Sc hoolClimate Surveys and a Peer Sc hool Ind ex.

• In 2010-11 a ll NHPS sc hools will be Tiered and 7-10 sc hools from ac rossa ll performanc e tiers will engage in “ Transformation” Planning

Key Princ ip les for School Tiering

1. Foc us on absolute ac hievement and growth

2. Incorporate multiple measures of performance , inc luding both ac ademic andnon-ac ademic mea sures

3. Engage ‘users’ in the ana lysis (i.e. visua lly d isp lay informa tion in a wa y tha t enab les da tac onsumers to und erstand the interac tion of key va riab les and draw a pprop ria te c onc lusions)




Elementary/ Middle Sc hool Tiering Criteria

Tiering will be informed by the following sc hoo l performance measures:

1. Stud ent Progress:Student p rogress on the CMT in math, read ing, and writing rela tive to otherstud ents with simila r ac ademic histories, as measured by the Med ian Stud entGrowth Perc entile (3-yea r weighted average)

2. Student Performance:Perc ent of students sc oring a t or above p rofic ient and goa l on CMT in ma th,rea d ing, writing and sc ienc e (3-yea r weighted average1)

3. Sc hool Learning Environment:

Qua lity of the sc hool lea rning environment, as measured by SLE survey inp utfrom students, tea c hers, and parents (annua l)

Note:

Measuring Multiple Years: Student Prog ress and Student Performance a re c a lcula ted as theweighted average o f three yea rs of da ta , where the c urrent year is 50% and the p rior twoyea rs ea ch 25%

Addition o f CMT Sc ienc e: In 2010-11, CMT Sc ienc e (assessed in g rades 5 & 8 only) has beenadded as part o f the Student Performa nce m ea sure

• Superintend ent to pub lic ly designa te sc hool tiers for a ll K-8, Midd le Sc hools and High Sc hools , based on c riteriaand p erforma nce matric es

• Selec tion of sc hools for Transformation Planning to follow

• Transformation p lanning p roc ess will engage sc hools andsup port designa tion of sc hool vision, ad justments to

Planning for School-Level Transformation

9

• “…Collective responsibility…collaborating without fault.”

• Transparent recognition of existingperformance, not an assignment ofblame

• School *and* central responsibility tosupport improvement, in all schools

All NHPSSchools

•31 K-8/MS

•13 HS

•Not includingAdult Ed and

EarlyChildhoodCenters

• “The district and schools acting to support… innovation and adaptation” and “Students learning through meaningful and coherent experiences…”

• Fostering innovation means removing obstacles and takingresources

• Resources will be a particular challenge, but we will be looking todo more with less by encouraging empowerment

Tier I

Tier II

Tier III

School Tiering:

performance

• Intensive planning, leading from re-visioning of school, and includinginnovation, empowerment, andaccountability in all aspects of

school operation• Including school turn-around

efforts, whether internal or inpartnership

• Innovation and adaptation throughtypical SIP (School ImprovementPlan) and governance mechanisms

• Schools enter transformationplanning in cohorts of 7-10 over thenext 4 years

• Moderate growthand performance,or mixed

• Low growth andperformance
