  1. PVAAS(The Pennsylvania Value Added Assessment System )

  2. PVAAS IS: • Another tool we can use to look at our school data • A way to determine if students made one year’s worth of growth • When combined with PSSA scores, we get a clearer picture of school achievement

  3. PVAAS is NOT: • Another Test; the data is taken from the PSSA • A measure for teacher accountability

  4. Things to Keep in Mind • PVAAS does not take into account a student’s starting point. It looks at growth over a year. • PVAAS measures growth, not AYP level • A Scatter Plot graph combines both

  5. Growth Line AYP Percent Proficient Target The Scatter Plot Coordinate System Vertical Axis PSSA Percent Proficient or Advanced Horizontal Axis PVAAS Growth Measure

  6. Scatter Plot Quadrants and Their Meanings Quadrant 2 Met AYP Negative Growth Quadrant 1 Met AYP Positive Growth Quadrant 4 Didn’t reach AYP Proficiency Target Positive Growth Quadrant 3 Didn’t reach AYP Proficiency Target Negative Growth

  7. What does PVAAS show? Looking Forward/Planning… PVAAS Projection Reports For Individual Students and Cohorts of Students Looking back Looking Back/Evaluation… Value-added Growth Reports For Cohorts of Students Looking ahead Today

  8. Looking back Value-added Measure of Cohort Growth • Comparison to a State Growth Standard • The Growth Standard specifies the minimal designated academic gain from grade to grade for a cohort of students. • The use of a Growth Standard creates the possibility that ALL schools can demonstrate appropriate growth.

  9. Looking back PVAAS Value-added Cohort Growth Descriptors

  10. Looking back PVAAS School Report This is an example of a School Value Added Report. • It shows us growth by grade level. • We can also use the chart at the bottom of the page to see growth of the same cohort over time.

  11. Looking back PVAAS Performance Diagnostic Report This chart is an example of a school performance diagnostic report • We can see the growth for groups of students • The green line is at zero. This is the growth line. • Everything at or above the line shows that the students have made one year’s worth of growth. • Everything below the green growth line shows that the students slipped from last year. (They did not remain in the same position as last year)

  12. Looking back More Detail – Diagnostic Report

  13. Looking back Looking at a subgroup…

  15. Questions/Comments about PVAAS Growth Graphs Looking back

  16. What does PVAAS show? Looking Forward/Planning… PVAAS Projection Reports For Individual Students and Cohorts of Students Looking back Looking Back/Evaluation… Value-added Growth Reports For Cohorts of Students Looking ahead Today

  17. Looking ahead Student Projections Wouldn’t it be great to know the likelihood that a student will be proficient on a future PSSA?

  18. Looking ahead PVAAS Student Projection Report

  19. Looking ahead PVAAS Projection Reports for Groups of Students by Subgroup and/or Projected Proficiency Level

  20. Looking ahead Identified Students Meeting Search Requirements

  21. Looking ahead Your Turn! Your Reports! Go to: https://pvaas.sas.com Login: PVAAS.Training Password: PVAAS • Under Reports, select Student Search • Restrict Search by Grade: 8 (this is the grade last tested) • Restrict Search by Projected Proficiency Level: Test-PSSA, Restrict by Subject (level): 11th Math Proficient, 0% to 100%
