  1. Grade 3-8 Math Results2009

  2. 2 Student Growth Tracked Over Time: 2006 – 2009 • Grade-by-grade testing began in 2006. • The tests and data system track the academic growth of students over time. • Example: We can see how 3rd graders in 2006 are performing as 6th graders in 2009. • Measuring the progress of students over time from one grade to the next: This is crucial to the Board of Regents. • Examining student achievement over time is a valuable tool for districts and schools to monitor how their practices affect academic growth.

  3. 1. In previous years, we have compared the same grade over a series of years – like this example for Grade 6: 3 We will show slides in two different ways Percentage of Students at Levels 3 and 4 All Students Tested: 2006-09

  4. 2. Now we can also show the growth of classes of students as they move from one grade to the next over the 4 years of grades 3-8 tests. This example shows the growth of students from 3rd grade to 6th grade: 4 Percentage of Students at Levels 3 and 4 Grade 3 in 2006 Grade 4 in 2007 Grade 5 in 2008 Grade 6 in 2009 3 8 Grade 3 in 2006 Class of 2014

  5. 5 We will also analyze student performance in 2 ways: • Look at the percentage of students who progress from Level 1 and 2 to Level 3 and 4 • Look at increases in student scale scores

  6. 6 What are student scale scores? • Students are graded on a scale from the upper 400’s to the upper 700’s. • Students at the bottom of the scale are in Level 1. Students at the top of the scale are in Level 4. • The number of students scoring at Level 3 and 4 has shown measured progress, with gains for classes of students over time. • But the increase in average scale scores over time is sometimes relatively smaller.

  7. 7 What Are the Results? • Measured gains overall. • Students who began the 3-8 grade-by-grade core curriculum in the early grades started at a higher achievement level than did older students who started the grade-by-grade curriculum in higher grades, for example, grades 6 and 7. • More of this year’s students are meeting the standards (scoring in Level 3 & 4) than did students in those grades 4 years ago.

  8. 8 What Are the Results? • Average student scale scores (as opposed to the percentage at Level 3 & 4) show measured progress as students have progressed from one grade to the next. 5. Middle school performance, which was very low when the grade 3-8 core curriculum began 4 years ago, has improved significantly over time. 6. Even with the improvements, many students still are not meeting the standards.

  9. More students are scoring in Level 3 & 4 across grades 3-8. 9 The percentage of students across all grades 3-8 who are scoring in Level 3 & 4 increased more this year. Number of Students Tested in Grades 3-8 2006 2007 2008 2009 Grades 3-8 1,262,139 1,238,635 1,217,789 1,211,360

  10. 10 • Measured gains overall. The average student scale score across all grades 3-8 increased this year. *A score of 650 is the cutpoint between Level 2 and Level 3. 650*

  11. 11 Why Are Average Gains in Scale Scores Sometimes Smaller Than Gains in the Percentage at Level 3 and 4? • The Answer: • As students progressed through school, many have improved their performance over time enough to move over the line (a score of 650) from Level 2 to Level 3. • But the increase in the average scale score over time was sometimes smaller.

  12. 2. Growth: Students who began the grade-by-grade core curriculum in the early grades are starting at a higher achievement level than did older students who started the grade-by-grade curriculum in later grades. Both sets of students are making progress as they move through school. 12 Percentage of Students at Levels 3 and 4 All Students Tested as They Move through School, 2006-09 3 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 5 6 4 5 6 7 5 6 7 8 6 7 8 7 8 8 Grade 3 in 2006Class of 2015 Grade 4 in 2006Class of 2014 Grade 5 in 2006Class of 2013 Grade 6 in 2006Class of 2012 Grade 7 in 2006Class of 2011 Grade 8 in 2006Class of 2010 Class of 2018 Class of 2017 Class of 2016

  13. 3. Status: More of this year’s students are meeting the standards (Level 3 & 4) than did students in those grades 4 years ago. 13 Number of Students Tested 2006 2007 2008 2009 Grade 3 201,956 200,217 197,500 200,336 Grade 4 202,791 199,391 198,730 197,704 Grade 5 209,242 203,956 199,746 199,511 Grade 6 211,428 206,220 202,058 199,940 Grade 7 217,308 213,436 209,039 204,648 Grade 8 219,414 215,415 210,716 209,221 Grades 3-8 1,262,139 1,238,635 1,217,789 1,211,360 Percentage of Students at Levels 3 and 4

  14. 14 4. Growth in Average Scale Scores • Students are graded on a scale from the upper 400’s to the upper 700’s. • Students at the bottom of the scale are in Level 1. Students at the top of the scale are in Level 4. • The number of students scoring at Level 3 and 4 had shown measured progress, with gains for classes of students over time. • But the increase in average scale scores over time is sometimes relatively smaller.

  15. Growth: Gains in average student scale scores are small to moderate as students progress from grade to grade. 15 All Students Tested as They Move through School, 2006-09 *A score of 650 is the cutpoint between Level 2 and Level 3. 650* 3 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 5 6 4 5 6 7 5 6 7 8 6 7 8 7 8 8 Grade 3 in 2006Class of 2015 Grade 4 in 2006Class of 2014 Grade 5 in 2006Class of 2013 Grade 6 in 2006Class of 2012 Grade 7 in 2006Class of 2011 Grade 8 in 2006Class of 2010 Class of 2018 Class of 2017 Class of 2016

  16. 16 Status: This year’s students had higher average scale scores than did the students in those same grades 4 years ago. *A score of 650 is the cutpoint between Level 2 and Level 3. 650

  17. 5.Status: Middle school has improved as more students meet the standards.When the grade 3-8 tests began in 2006, the percentage of students achieving Levels 3 & 4 was lower in the middle grades than in the elementary grades. But now, performance in middle school has improved significantly. 17 Percentage of Students at Levels 3 and 4

  18. Status: Middle School: Improvement in scale scores also. 18 Mean Scale Scores 650

  19. 19 Why the Progress Overall? • Over time, the State has invested significantly more resources in education. • Universal Pre-Kindergarten has been expanding and reaching more students each year. • The grade-by-grade core curriculum, introduced in 2006, seems to be helping. Schools are aligning their instruction with the grade-by-grade curriculum. • Schools have seized opportunities to incorporate best practices and support programs and are increasing professional development to improve instruction.

  20. 20 Similar Trends Emerge for Different Groups of Students Over Time.

  21. Growth: More students with disabilities met the standards (scoring in Levels 3 & 4) as they progressed through school. 21 But achievement is still low.
