The Purpose Behind the New Standards

• During the 2013 session, the General Assembly passed Public Law 286.

• This new law, Indiana Code 20-19-2-14.5, established the timeline below for the review and adoption of new K-12 academic standards.

Department of Education must provide a written evaluation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to various officials.

Legislative committee must study issues and hold 3 public meetings. Not later that 11/1/13, it must submit a final report to the State Board of Education.

Before 7/1/14 the SBOE must hold 3 public meetings, adopt and implement college and career readiness standards that are aligned with postsecondary educational expectations.

State Board of Education may take no further action to implement standards until evaluation is complete.

Office of Management and Budget must provide an opinion concerning the fiscal impact to implement or discontinue CCSS.

1 Year Projected Targets

Target scale scores are compared to actual scale scores to categorize Low, Typical, or High Growth.

1 Year Projected Targets with equi-percentile concordance

Target scale scores are compared to actual scale scores to categorize Low, Typical, or High Growth.

(Note: Due to the assessment transition, an equi-percentile concordance will be utilized to translate the target score from the previous assessment scale to a target score on the new assessment scale. Additional validations will be implemented to ensure continuity during the transition.)
