MEAP and MME New Cut Scores: RtI Coach Session February 2012
Cut score overview • The State Board of Education adopted new cut scores in September 2011 • These new scores indicate whether or not a student will be college ready (11th grade) or on track for success in the next grade (3-8th grade). • A step in a series of initiatives to increase content standards to better prepare Michigan students for postsecondary success.
How do we know the scores mean career and college ready? • Used data from Michigan postsecondary institutions • Found the score on the MME that predicted success in a student’s first credit-bearing course in postsecondary education. • Mapped backward from the MME to the MEAP
What is the impact on accountability? • Ranking systems: unaffected (rankings use standardized scale scores, not percent proficient) • AYP: dramatically impacted; percent proficient by school drops considerably; working to reset AMOs, etc. • Educator evaluations: not necessarily impacted; evaluations require “growth” data and still have growth data
What about two year averaging and four year trends? • MDE retroactively applied cut scores to all assessment files • Can estimate two year averaging and four year improvement trends using the new cut scores
Scale Score • A conversion of a student's raw score on a test to a common scale that allows for a numerical comparison between students.

Why did we do this now? • Michigan’s overall focus on increasing the preparation of our students for career and college • Need to be more honest about the performance of our students • Aligns well with new federal requirements
