FLDOE Framework for the School Grading System for 2014-15 and Beyond
Gisela FeildAdministrative Director
Assessment, Research and Data AnalysisJuly 2014
Revised Education Accountability • Governor’s Education Accountability Summit and
Executive Order ▫Provide stability and clarity with the transition to a new
assessment ▫Pursue Florida’s course of action regarding English
Language Learners (ELL) in the ESEA waiver ▫Ensure the accountability system is fair and transparent
and promotes improvement in student outcomes • Senate Bill 1642 provides the framework for the
updated school accountability system consistent with those objectives
Senate Bill 1642–Education Accountability Revisions • Re-focuses the school grading formula on student success
measures ▫ Achievement ▫ Learning gains ▫ Graduation ▫ Earning College Credit and/or Industry Certifications
• Maintains a focus on students who need the most support • ELLs included in Achievement after 2 years • Establishes a learning gains calculation that (1) requires
students scoring below grade level to grow toward grade level performance, and (2) requires students already at grade level to progress beyond grade level performance
Senate Bill 1642–Education Accountability Revisions - continued • Eliminates provisions that over-complicate the formula
and muddle the meaning of a school grade ▫ No bonus factors or additional weighting that may raise a
school grade ▫ No additional requirements or no automatic adjustments
that may lower a school grade
• Ensures that the level of performance associated with an A-F school grade is transparently evident ▫ Report all school grade components as percentages, each
worth a maximum of 100 points ▫ Report A-F grades based on a percentage of points earned
(e.g., 70%, 80%), rather than a point total
Senate Bill 1642–Education Accountability Revisions - continued • Requires the State Board to reset the grading scale
avoiding the compression of the current scale ▫ There must be at least five percentage points separating the
percentage thresholds needed to earn each of the school grades
• The State Board must periodically review the scale to determine whether the expectations should be raised to encourage increased student achievement ▫ If the Board adjusts the grading scale upward, it must
inform the public and the school districts of the reasons for the adjustment and the anticipated impact on school grades
Elementary School Grades Model(700 points) • The school grade is based on the percentage of total points earned • Provisions that may raise or lower a school’s grade beyond what the
percentage of points would indicate are eliminated (no additional requirements; no additional weights/bonus; no automatic adjustments)
• Writing is included within the English/Language Arts components

• Writing is included within the English/Language Arts components • Additional graduation rates (At-Risk and 5-year), college readiness measures (based on SAT, ACT,
and PERT), and a stand-alone acceleration participation measure are eliminated from the model

Senate Bill 1642–Education Accountability Transition Year • For the current school year (pending senior high, 2013-14),
there are no changes to the school grading system, except those already directed by existing statute or State Board rule
• After Florida students take the new assessments for the first time in 2014-15, student performance level expectations (“cut scores”) will be set in the summer immediately following the first administration of the new assessment
• A new baseline calculation of school grades will occur in Fall 2015, which accurately reflects student performance on the Florida Standards and FSA
• This baseline, informational approach in the first year provides everyone – parents, schools, districts, the general public – a clear understanding of a student’s and a school’s starting point on the new, more rigorous Florida Standards and FSA
Senate Bill 1642–Education Accountability Transition Year No Consequences from the Baseline 2014-15 School Grades
• No interruption in current support to underperforming schools through our Differentiated Accountability teams
• A school may not be required to select and implement a turnaround option in the 2015-16 school year based on the 2014-15 grade or school improvement rating
• A district or charter school system designated as high-performing may not lose the designation based on the 2014-15 grades
• For purposes of determining grade 3 retention and high school graduation, student performance on the 2014-15 assessments shall be linked to 2013-14 student performance expectations
▫ Same process used for FCAT to FCAT 2.0
Senate Bill 1642–Education Accountability Implementation Schedule• Commissioner re-establishing advisory groups to receive
input
▫ LPAC, Leadership Policy Advisory Committee
▫ AAAC, Assessment and Accountability Advisory Committee
• LPAC and AAAC will meet in the summer and fall

The FLDOE has contracted with Caveon Test Security to provide its Caveon Data Forensics™ for all statewide assessments.
Caveon will analyze data to identify highly unusual test results for two primary groups: • Students with extremely similar test responses; and
• Schools with improbable levels of similarity, gains and/or erasures.
Flagging only the most extreme results.
FCAT/FCAT 2.0/NGSSS EOCCaveon Data Forensics
Most Powerful & “Credible” Statistic• Measures degree of similarity between two or more test
instances
• Analyze each test instance against all other test instances in the school
Possible causes of extremely high similarity:• Answer Copying
• Test Coaching
• Proxy Test Taking
• Collusion

Based on estimated answer changing rates from:
• Wrong-to-Right
• Anything-to-Wrong
Find answer sheets with unusual WtR answers
Extreme statistical outliers could involve tampering, “panic cheating”, etc.
Important! No student–level score invalidations based on erasure analysis; erasure analysis limited to school-
level flagging for additional review.

Comprehensive English Language Learning Assessment (CELLA)
CELLA is a four-skill English language assessment measuring student proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Students in grades 1 – 12 are administered the• Listening, Reading, and Writing sections
in groups• Speaking on a one-on-one basis
Kindergarten students are assessed in all four areas on a one-to-one basis.
Unlike the FSA, CELLA is not a timed test.
Overview of CELLA
Purposes of CELLAThe test results can provide:
• Data useful for charting student progress over time,
• Diagnostically useful information about students’ strengths and weaknesses in English,
• The language proficiency levels of individual students can be used in making decisions regarding placement into, or exit from English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) programs.
• Identifying the proper ESOL level,• Determining whether the District and schools
met Annual Measureable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs)
