The EVAAS Philosophy
• All students deserve opportunities to make appropriate
academic progress every year.
• There is no “one size fits all” way of educating students
who enter a class at different levels of academic
achievement.
The EVAAS Philosophy
• Adjustments to instruction should be based on the
students’ academic needs, not on socio-economic
factors.
• "What teachers know and can do is the most important
influence on what students learn." (National
Commission on Teaching and America's Future, 1996)

What Are Projections?
What Are Projections Anyway?
Given a specific set
of circumstances…
…what’s the most
likely outcome?
What Are Projections Anyway?
Given this student’s testing
history, across subjects…
…what is the student likely
to score on an upcoming
test, assuming the student
has the average schooling
experience?
EVAAS Projections
What are they based on?
• Expectations based on what we know
» About this student and other students who have
already taken this test
» Prior test scores (EOC/EOG), across subjects
» Their scores on the test we’re projecting to
What’s the Value of the Projections?
Projections are NOT about
predicting the future.
They ARE
about assessing
students’ academic
needs TODAY.
Assessing Students’ Needs
• What are this student’s chances for success?
• What goals should we have for this student this
year?
• What goals should we have for this student in
future years?
What can I do to help this student get there?
Using Projections to Take Action
• Identify students
• Assess the level of risk
• Plan schedules
• Identify high-achievers
• Assess the opportunities
• Inform

Questions We Raise
Why did this student change
schools?
How much impact did school
environment have on this student?
What conversation do I need to have with
guidance?
What are her connections to
school?
What is the teacher’s
perspective?
What’s going on at home?
