  8. Where are we now? • 4th year of transitioning to College & Career Ready Standards in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) • Second year of transitioning to new College & Career Ready Standards in Science and History/Government. • Kansas just piloted the new Assessment in Math and ELA in Spring of 2014. • All 286 School Districts are piloting new teacher/leader evaluation instruments that include student growth in performance on multiple measures.

  9. Teacher/Leader Evaluations • In 2013-14, all school districts were piloting their new evaluation model that met approved guidelines. • Schools will continue to work on improving the evaluation process over the next few years. • The use of student growth data to INFORM PERSONNEL DECISIONS will not come into play until the 2017-18 school year.

  10. Student Growth Measures Currently Used Examples • State Assessments must be used in grades and subjects areas where they are given • Commercially Developed Assessments • Locally Created Assessments

Where is Accountability? • Accountability is customized at the building level, looking at: • Achievement • Growth • Gaps • Reducing Non-Proficient Students • Each building has a different target, based on where they started. • We have moved away from annual AYP targets to student growth over time.

  23. What If? • We could increase the % of graduates entering postsecondary institutions? • We could decrease the % of our graduates needing remediation postsecondary? • We could increase the % of students successfully completing their first year? Second year? • We could get more kids into “hard to fill” programs? • THEN, we could close the gap between the % of jobs requiring postsecondary completion, and the % of Kansans acquiring postsecondary completion?
