CT’s New Accountability System • CT’s No Child Left Behind Waiver was approved by USDE on May 29, 2012 • Replaces AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) under NCLB with CT designed annual performance targets • Replaces NCLB sanctions for schools and districts with more effective interventions • Schools will no longer be identified as “in need of improvement” based on 2012 CMT/CAPT
Performance Index • Each district, school, subject and subgroup will have a Performance Index • Index is between 0 and 100 • Counts performance in all tested grade levels • Captures performance across all performance bands • Includes all tested subjects: reading, writing, math and science • Incorporates all tested students, including students who take the MAS and Skills Checklist
How Can a School Increase its SPI(School Performance Index)? • For a school with 100 students…..
Performance Index(Students who take MAS or Skills Checklist )
What’s the difference between the results released in July and the SPI/DPI data?
A 48 Points/12 years = 4 Points a Year SPI Growth 2024
Schools are Divided into Categories • Excelling • Progressing • Transitioning • Review • Focus • Turn around
Future • No SPI/DIP will be published for the 2013-14 school year • Current SPI assessments/expectations not aligned to CCSS expectations and new Smarter Balanced Assessment
The SPI alone does not represent a full picture of performance as does school classification…. (CSDE 12/7/12 Memo)
