  2. Assessment System • Formative • NC Falcon • NCDigIns • Interim (Instructional Improvement System) • Benchmark assessments • District • Summative • End-of-year • Standardized

  3. Summative Assessments • English Language Arts • Common Core State Standards (June 2010, SBE) • Grades 3-8 and English II • Mathematics • Common Core State Standards (June 2010, SBE) • Grades 3-8 and Math I (Algebra I/Integrated I) • Science (February 2009, SBE) • Essential Standards • Grades 5, 8 and Biology

  4. Time Line • 2011-12 Field Tests • General • NCEXTEND2 • NCEXTEND1 • 2012-13 Operational Assessments • Performance standards set AFTER tests administered • Results delayed until early fall

  5. Delivery Formats • Online (Paper/Pencil version) • All NCEXTEND2 (EOG and EOC) • Science Grades 5 and 8 • English II EOC • Biology EOC • Algebra I/Integrated Math I EOC (Math I Standards) • Paper/Pencil (Online version) • General ELA and Mathematics Grades 3-8 • Paper/Pencil Assessments • NCEXTEND1

  6. Prioritization of Content Standards • Two-Step Process • Step 1:Teachers convened to provide input • Relative importance of each standard • Anticipated instructional time • Appropriateness for multiple-choice format • Step 2: Curriculum and Test Development staff at DPI review input and develop weight distributions across the domains for each grade level http://www.ncpublicschools.org/acre/assessment/online/

  7. Weights English II • Reading for Literature • 30–34% • Reading for Information • 32–38% • Writing • 14–18% • Speaking and Listening • NA • Language • 14–18%

  8. Item Types • Online • Technology Enhanced Items • Both Online and Paper/Pencil • Mathematics: gridded response items • Grades 5-8 and Math I (Algebra I/Integrated I) • Calculator Inactive: Grades 3-8 and Math I (Algebra II/Integrated I) • One-third to one-half of grades 3-8 • One-third of Math I (Algebra I/Integrated I) • English II: short constructed response • General: Four-response multiple-choice items • NCEXTEND2: Three-response multiple-choice items

  9. ACT, PLAN, and WorkKeys • ACT: All 11th graders • Post-secondary readiness measure • March 6, 2012 (make-up date is March 20, 2012) • NCExtend1: separate assessment • Plan: All 10th graders • Diagnostic measure not used for high stakes accountability • December 5-16, 2011 • WorkKeys • Students identified as concentrators in the senior year http://www.act.org/aap/northcarolina/

  10. From Framework For Change Overview

  11. Goals Overview • Goal: Institute an accountability model that… • improves student outcomes • increases graduation rates • closes achievement gaps

  12. Framing Overview Indicators Uses Levels

  13. High School Model Indicators Overview Absolute Performance Index Growth Index Performance Composite from End of Course Assessments Student Growthfrom End of Course Assessments Are students learning important things? Δ ACT ACT Δ Are students graduating? Δ Are students taking and passing challenging classes? Graduation Rates Graduation Rates How well does this school prepare students? Are they getting better over time? Math Course Rigor Math Course Rigor

  14. Elementary Model Indicators Overview Absolute Performance Index Growth Index Are students learning important things? Performance Composite from End of Course Assessments Student Growthfrom End of Course Assessments How well does this school prepare students? Are they getting better over time? Draft - Sept 2011

  15. Proposed Uses(of indicators) Report Reward and Sanction Target Assistance

  16. Goal:Institute an accountability model that improves student achievement, increases graduation rates and closes achievement gaps. Levels at which indicators might be used Student Classroom School LEA State

  17. Weighting NCTA Growth Index Absolute Performance Index Performance Composite from End of Course Assessments Student Growthfrom End of Course Assessments Δ Post-SecondaryReadiness Post-Secondary ReadinessACT (or SAT) Δ Δ Graduation Rates Graduation Rates Math Course Rigor Math Course Rigor Draft - July 13, 2011

  18. Model Basics NCTA School 1 (Good growth, poor performance) School 3 (Good growth, good performance) Growth Index School 2(Poor growth, poor performance) School 4(Poor growth, good performance) Absolute Performance Index Draft - July 13, 2011

  22. ESEA Waivers Overview Overview of ESEA Waiver Request Language and Requirements

  23. Our Opportunity ESEA FlexibilitySeptember 23, 2011 New State Model for 2012-13 Embed the requirements of One Coherent Model

  24. 4 Principles Overview What the waiver requires of states: College-and-Career-Ready Expectations for All Students State-Developed Differentiated Recognition, Accountability, and Support Supporting Effective Instruction and Leadership Reducing Duplication and Unnecessary Burden

  25. ESEA Waivers Overview Important Things to Know • Waiver will not remove accountability; the goal is to improve how accountability is done • States lead in the design • Some of the requirements are specific and waivers are contingent upon four major principles • Release from some of the requirements of NCLB may happen as early as this year • Schools will continue to have AYP designations although 1) The state can set new annual measurable objectives and 2) AYP status does not have to trigger sanctions

  26. Overview of ESEA Flexibility Important Notes on Principle 2 from USED • Requires identification of • Reward Schools highest performing and highest progress • Priority Schools lowest achieving based on proficiency and lack of progress • Focus Schoolscontributing to the achievement gap

  27. Annual Measurable Objectives • The State must re-set annual measurable objectives This means relieving schools from the requirement that all students be proficient in 2014. • Our suggested method: Reset AMOs for all students to be proficient by 2019-2020 • Notes: • All schools will continue to have all or nothing AYP designations however AYP status will not trigger sanctions
