  1. PVAAS Update to PAIUCurriculum CoordinatorsDecember 2010 Questions to: Kristen Lewald, Ed.D. kristen_lewald@iu13.org PVAAS Statewide Core Team

  2. Final Numbers 2,400+ Participants! 350+ Districts and Charters! Thank you for all of your efforts in making PVAAS consultations a success again this year!

  3. So…where are we now?

  4. PVAAS Webinars – Archived & Available! • PVAAS webinars that took place in August and September 2010 are still available for viewing! • Go to http://elluminate.iu13.org click on Recordings • Click on the month the webinar was originally held using the calendar

  5. Ideas for Follow-up to Fall Sessions with Districts • Faculty Rollout • USING the projections • Ex. Are the right students getting interventions? • Ex. Scheduling current 8th graders • Use grade 7 to 8 projections; more reliable at predicting future performance than most recent PSSA • High Growth schools forums • By grades, subjects • Based on Multiple years quintiles document • Need support for follow-up with local districts?

  6. As of November 4, 2010 scatterplots became available for every IU via a secure document library on IU 13’s SharePoint site. Trouble with scatterplot files? Contact pdepvaas@iu13.org SY2009-2010 Scatterplots

  7. As of November 15, 2010 Single-Year Quintile files became available for every IU via a secure document library on IU 13’s SharePoint site. Trouble with quintile files? Contact pdepvaas@iu13.org Single-Year High Growth & Achievement Quintiles

  8. Single Year of Quintile 5 Growth and/or Quintile 5 Achievement

  9. Available NOW!!! Consecutive Year High Growth Quintile files will be posted for every IU via a secure document library on IU 13’s SharePoint site. Multiple Years (2 or 3 yrs) of Quintile 5 for Growth

  10. Consecutive years of Quintile 5 Growth Results

  11. Currently Enrolled Submission: Window 1 & 2 • 100+ Districts participated in the first and/or second submission window • What this does for them? • Future Enrollment Deadline • January 7, 2011 • Target 2-3 districts in your region to encourage their use of this FREE, OPTIONAL service • Those with the highest mobility will benefit the most • All middle schools and all high schools benefit

  12. Currently Enrolled via Projection Summaries • How can districts use this report?

  13. Currently Enrolled via Student Search • New feature on Student Search to include Currently Enrolled:

  14. Projection Summaries: Projections to Advanced NEW!!!!!

  15. Graduation Rate now in PVAAS! • Graduation rates are now included in the School Search feature within PVAAS • WHY? • Growth results on grade 11 reports are on those students that did not drop out by the end of grade 11 testing • Schools should also consider how many students DID drop out along the way from the end of grade 8 to the end of grade 11 when considering this report

  16. Graduation Rate now in PVAAS! • Graduation rates are now included in the School Search feature within PVAAS

  17. Getting Results Worksheet PDFs • Now available in the PVAAS “Reports” menu!

  18. Issues with SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT comparisons of PSSA scores at the District, School, Student levels Missing Data Measurement Error

  19. Issues with SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT comparisons of PSSA scores at the District, School, Student levels • The issue of missing data is a significant issue for districts/school, meaning students who do not have a PSSA score for 2 consecutive years. They missed a test. • A simple comparison of current and prior scores could only occur for students who have those 2 test scores. Other students would not be included from current/prior year analyses, meaning many students would not be included which would impact the results. • Think of a district and the impact of this on their growth measures. Simple methods exclude these students who are mobile/transient as they have missing test scores. They have a history of what is called fractured records. It really impacts subgroups too as they have a history of fractured records like the ELL subgroup for example. • PVAAS is able to address this issue of missing data as it is a longitudinal analysis that uses all available prior data on students.

  20. Issues with SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT comparisons of PSSA scores • There is too much measurement error on any one given test score or a pair of test scores. • Using a simple difference of 2 scores, or 2 sets of scores, creates bias in the measures. • Measurement error is a type of "noise". It is a noise around a value that is trying to measure some other value. • For instance, when we have a test score for a student, it is trying to measure the true knowledge of that student in a particular subject/grade. However, there is measurement error or noise in that test score. • This is a normal thing in all assessments; some have more "noise" than others. For example, teacher made tests…VERY noisy!

  21. Issues with SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT comparisons of PSSA scores • This issue of error/noise can be seen on a student’s PSSA report that goes home to mom and dad. See the example below and on next slide- this is a student’s actual recent PSSA report from SY09-10. • His math scaled score on the PSSA was a 1720-- HOWEVER, read the statement below the number line….. • Almost a 200 point range!!! SO what is his true understanding of mathematics...???

  22. Individual Student Report

  23. Issues with SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT comparisons of PSSA scores • This is a normal issue for assessment, but a reality that simple, transparent models like the comparison of 2 sets of scores does not address. • Think why we all took the SAT more than one time!!! To have measurement error hopefully work to our advantage and get a higher score the 2nd time we took it or the 3rd time……. • The PVAAS methodology uses all available test scores on each student to mitigate the effects of measurement error on the analyses; basically to mitigate these kinds of issues.

  24. Handout for YOU to give to YOUR Districts • Summary handout for you to give to your districts from these updates • Superintendents • Asst Supt/Directors of C & I • Directors of Special Ed • Principals • Teacher Leaders • Will send email with document enclosed Will also post on Sharepoint
