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.

The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO, 2008)



Formative Assessment Plans

• Formative Assessment Plans developed by teachers

• Located in NC Education/NC FALCON

Operationalizing the General Assembly’s

School Performance Grades

(Senate Bill 795, Excellent Public Schools Act)

October 19, 2012Curriculum & Instructional Leaders’

Forum



Context

2009

2010

2011

2012

ACRE/READYAccountability Revision

• SBE approved college and career ready indicators for 2012-13 SY and reporting of the READY Accountability Model

• Approval of ESEA waiver to use proposed READY model

General Assembly►Summer 2012

GA’s budget requires the assignment of A-F grades for all schools



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



What are the basics of the SPGs?

High Schools• Performance Composite • Algebra II/Integrated III• Graduation Rate• WorkKeys• ACT

Total Points 0-500100 points100 points100 points100 points100 points

Elementary/Middle Schools

• Performance Composite

High School Performance Grades

• Performance Composite • Algebra II/Integrated III• Graduation Rate• WorkKeys• ACT

Key Point: The set of indicators are shared and set a college and career-ready expectation. The Graduation Project is not part of the school grade.

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

The proposed Math that goes into the ACT calculation

Suppose you have a school with 5 students….Student

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




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



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

Proposal for Addition of Growth



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)



Overall Grade Scale

A: 90-100 pointsB: 80-89 pointsC: 70-79 pointsD: 60-69 pointsF: Less than 60 points

Simulated Grades

Note:

• This data is for discussion purposes only and is a draft based on this proposed operational model. It is only data to inform feedback.

• Based on 2011-12 data.

• We have the ability and will run different scenarios of the grading schema; however, we cannot change the indicators.
