  3. AMAO 1 Target • As part of ODE’s compliance with the final Notice of Interpretations (NOI) , ODE reviewed current practices both in Oregon and across the U.S. This research has resulted in a revision to the AMAO 1 calculation and target. • Districts will need to improve annually starting with the 2009-10 school year. • For 2009-10, the new target for AMAO 1 is 50%. • This target will increase annually. Oregon Department of Education

  4. AMAO 1 Targets Oregon Department of Education

  5. AMAO 1 Numerator Inclusion Rules Previous rule: Student must be identified as LEP/ELL for two consecutive years and have a valid ELPA proficiency level for both years. • This means the student had to be entered in the most recent and the previous year’s LEP collection and have an ELPA score for both years to be included. Oregon Department of Education

  6. AMAO 1 Numerator Inclusion Rules Previous Gain Calculation: Students where the current year’s ELPA proficiency level was greater than the previous years ELPA proficiency level (1 or more proficiency levels), OR if a student was exited for proficiency were considered having made a gain Oregon Department of Education

  7. AMAO 1 Numerator inclusion (cont.) New rule: Student must be identified as LEP/ELL in 2009-10 AND Identified as LEP in the LEP Collection for at least one of the previous three school years (2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09) AND The student must have a valid ELPA test score for 2009-10 as well as a valid ELPA test score in any of the previous collection years where they were identified as LEP (2006-07, 2007-08, or 2008-09). • In response to the NOIs, it is required that ODE calculate a gain when we have more than one data point. ODE is defining two data points as the two most recent adjacent scores. Students who have only one ELPA score (only participated in one assessment, are permitted to be excluded from this calculation. Oregon Department of Education

  8. AMAO 1 Numerator inclusion (cont.) New calculation rule: In order to having made a gain, a student must either: • Have an average of gain of 1 proficiency level per year of English language instruction since their most recent administration of ELPA; OR • Scored a 5 on a previous ELPA and maintained a 5 on the 09-10 ELPA; OR • Be exited by the district as ‘proficient’ . Students who have not made an average gain of 1 proficiency level per year of English language instruction or maintained a 5 on ELPA or exited will not be included in the amao1 numerator. Oregon Department of Education

  9. Scenarios for AMAO 1 Numerator inclusion: Student A • Student A was identified as LEP/ELL in the LEP Collections (2008-09, 2009-10) and has a valid ELPA proficiency level for both years. • The calculation of gain is based on comparing the two ELPA proficiency level • If the proficiency level in 2009-10 is higher by 1 or more; the student is included in the AMAO 1 numerator. • OR • If the proficiency level in 2008-09 is a 5 and the score in 2009-10 is a 5; then the student is included in the AMAO 1 numerator. • OR • If the student exits for proficiency in 2009-10, regardless of gain; then the student is included in the AMAO 1 numerator. • If this student moved from 2 to 3 then the student would be included in the AMAO 1 numerator. Oregon Department of Education

  10. Scenario: Student B • Student B was identified as LEP/ELL in the collections for 2007-08, 2008-09, and 2009-10. • The student has a valid ELPA proficiency level for 2007-08 and 2009-10, but doesn’t have an ELPA proficiency level for 2008-09. • This student is expected to participate in ELPA annually and has had the opportunity for language instruction in Oregon; therefore this student is expected to have a language proficiency gain equal to or greater than 2 proficiency levels. • The calculation for gain is based on comparing the 2009-10 ELPA score with the 2007-08 ELPA score. • If the difference is 2 or greater; then the student is included in the AMAO 1 Numerator. • If the student scored a 5 in both years or exited for proficiency; then the student is also included in the AMAO 1 Numerator. Oregon Department of Education

  11. Scenario: Student C • Student C was identified as LEP/ELL in the collections for 2006 -07, 2007-08, 2008-09, and 2009-10. • The student has a valid ELPA proficiency level for 2006-07 and 2009-10, but doesn’t have corresponding ELPA proficiency levels for 2007-08 and 2008-09. • This student is expected to participate in ELPA annually and has had the opportunity for language instruction in Oregon; therefore this student is expected to have a language proficiency gain equal to or greater than 3 proficiency levels. • The calculation for gain is based on comparing the 2009-10 ELPA score with the 2006-07 ELPA score. • If the difference is 3 or greater; then the student is included in the AMAO 1 Numerator. • If the student received a proficiency level of 5 in both years or exited for proficiency; then the student is also included in the AMAO 1 Numerator. Oregon Department of Education

  12. Scenario: Student D • Student D was identified in the 2007-08 and 2009-10 LEP Collection as LEP/ELL and has valid ELPA proficiency levels for both years. • This student was not included in Oregon for 2008-09 and therefore may not have had access to English language instruction. • The calculation for gain compares the 2009-2010 ELPA score with the 2007-08. • If the difference is equal to or greater than 1 proficiency level; then the student is included in the AMAO 1 numerator. • If the student scored a 5 both years or exited for proficiency in 2009-10; then the student is also included in the AMAO 1 numerator. Oregon Department of Education

  13. Scenario: Student E • Student E was identified in the 2006-07 and 2009-10 LEP Collection as LEP/ELL and has valid ELPA scores for both years. • This student was not identified as LEP/ELL in Oregon for 2007-08 or 2008-09 and therefore may not have had access to language instruction. • The calculation for gain compares the 2009-2010 ELPA score with the 2006-07. • If the difference is equal to or greater than 1 proficiency level; then the student is included in the AMAO 1 numerator. • If the student scored a 5 both years or exited for proficiency in 2009-10; then the student is also included in the AMAO 1 numerator. Oregon Department of Education

  14. IEP Students Inclusion Rule If a LEP/ELL student has an IEP that exempts the student from all domains of ELPA, then the student is not included in the AMAO 1 numerator or the AMAO 1 denominator. Oregon Department of Education

  16. AMAO 1 Denominator inclusion rules • To be included in the AMAO 1 Denominator for 2009-10 a student must: • Be identified as LEP/ELL in the 2009-10 LEP Collection AND • Be identified as LEP/ELL in any of the following LEP Collections (2006-07, 2007-08, or 2008-09). OR • Exit as proficient in 2009-10. • For example a student new to the program in 2009-10, who scores as proficient and exits the same school year as entering the ELD program.’ • This exit applies only to students who have only one ELPA score and are only in the 09-10 LEP Collection. Oregon Department of Education

  17. AMAO 1 Denominator inclusion rules (cont.) • A student identified as 3-H (ineligible) on the 2009-10 LEP Collection, regardless of being identified as LEP/ELL on any previous LEP Collection is notincludedin the AMAO 1 Denominator. Oregon Department of Education

  18. AMAO 1 Denominator inclusion rules (cont.) • a student identified as LEP/ELL on the 2009-10 LEP Collection, but is not included in any previous LEP Collection as being identified as LEP, they are not included in the AMAO 1 Denominator, unless the student exited for proficiency in 2009-10. Oregon Department of Education

  20. AMAO 2 Targets • In keeping with the Notice of Interpretations (NOI) for Title III, ODE has revised the calculations for AMAO 2. • AMAO 2 will have two separate calculations • AMAO 2 A - 14% of the total ELL population achieve proficiency • AMAO 2 B - 22% of the ELL population being identified for five or more years achieve proficiency. • Districts will need to meet both AMAO 2A and AMAO 2B targets to meet AMAO 2 • These targets are based on the new inclusion policies for the AMAO 2 denominator. Oregon Department of Education

  21. AMAO 2 A Targets Oregon Department of Education

  22. AMAO 2A Denominator inclusion rules • To be included in the AMAO 2A Denominator a student must: Be identified as a LEP/ELL student in the 2009-10 LEP Collection. AMAO 2 is a calculation that includes all ELL students in the state. Oregon Department of Education

  28. Important AMAO Reminder Districts need to send AMAO parent notification letters within 30 days of receiving notice of the district’s AMAO rating. • ODE will require districts to provide ODE with a copy of the AMAO letter sent to parents, beginning with the 2009-10 AMAOs. You will receive specific instructions as to how to submit this letter with the district preview of AMAOs. More information on this requirement will be provided. Oregon Department of Education
