  1. Middle School Essentials CAO Meeting February 2013 Dr. Andrews Chief Academic Officer

  2. Mark Howard, Director Research, Evaluation and Assessment Middle School accountability

  3. How many changes to the FDOE Accountability system in 2012? • 9 • 17 • 23 • 34 Correct Answer 34!

  4. MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADING MATRIX

  5. MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADE ACCOUNTABILITY PERFORMANCE, LOWEST 25% LEARNING GAINS • FY2013 • Reading Performance Penalty • Math – FCAT 2.0, Algebra 1 • and Geometry EOC • Geometry Achievement Levels • Science – FCAT 2.0 • FCAT 2.0 Achievement Levels • Writing – 3.5 Score, 60 Minutes • Lowest 25% Adequate Progress Penalty Reinstated Grade Scale for Middle Schools (Based on a 900-Point Scale)

  6. PERFORMANCE Includes • ELLs with at least 365 calendar days from initial day of entry into U.S. school* • FCAT 2.0 • Reading • Mathematics • Writing • Science • EOCs • Algebra 1, Geometry • Biology 1 *365 days: Initial day of entry to first day of FCAT 2.0 Writing testing – February 26, 2013

  7. Emergent Achieved Commended 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 READING PERFORMANCE (100 pts) • One (1) point for each percent of eligible students scoring • FCAT 2.0 Achievement Scale Levels 3+ • FAA Scale Levels 4+ At least 30 students with valid reading scores

  8. READING PERFORMANCE (100 pts) • Reading Performance Threshold Penalty • School grade lowered one letter grade if 25% Reading Performance threshold not met • Schools that have their grade lowered for not meeting other targets (e.g., Adequate Progress of the Lowest 25%, At-risk Graduation Rate) will not have their grade lowered further.

  9. Reading: Percent ProficientFY12 Spring to FY13 Winter Diag Difference All Students Tested

  10. MATH PERFORMANCE (100 pts) • One (1) point for each percent of eligible students scoring • FACT 2.0 Level 3+ • Algebra 1 Levels 3+ • Geometry Levels 3+ • FAA Scale Levels 4+ At least 30 students with valid mathematics scores Geometry Achievement Levels • Student with both, an FCAT 2.0 Mathematics scores and one or more EOC scores, the higher/highest scores in a Mathematics subject will be used.

  11. FCAT Math 2.0: Percent Proficient FY12 Spring to FY13 Winter Diag Difference All Students Tested

  12. Algebra 1 EOC: Percent Proficient FY12 Spring to FY13 Winter Diag Difference All Students Tested

  13. SDPBC Algebra 1 EOC Pass Rates LEVEL 1 6% LEVEL 2 16%

  14. SCIENCE PERFORMANCE (100 pts) • One (1) point is accrued for each percent of eligible students scoring • FCAT 2.0 Levels 3.0+ • FAA Scale Levels 4.0+ • FCAT 2.0 Science Achievement Levels

  15. Grade 8 Science FCAT 2.0: Percent ProficientFY12 Spring to FY13 Winter Diag Difference All Students Tested

  16. WRITING PERFORMANCE (100 pts) • One (1) point for each percent of eligible students scoring • FCAT Writing Levels 3.5+ • FAA Scale Levels 4.0+ • 60 minutes

  17. FY12 Grade 8 FCAT 2.0 WritingPercent Scoring 3.5 and 3.0 Difference

  18. READING LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • FCAT 2.0 (1 point) • Maintain same proficient level • L1 to L2, L1 to L3, or L2 to L3 • Remain L1 & increase Required scale points • Remain L2 & increase Required scale points Retained students make learning gains by maintaining a proficiency level, increasing a level, or increasing a scale score

  19. READING LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • FCAT 2.0 Weighted (1.1 or 1.2 point) • (1.1) Prior year level 1 or 2 & gain Requiredplus 33% or more scale points see example • (1.1) Move from lower level into L4 • (1.2) Move from lower level into L5 1.1 1.2 Retained students make learning gains by maintaining a proficiency level, increasing a level, or increasing a scale score Level 5 Level 4

  20. READING LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • Weighted Learning Gain for retained and non-retained students prior year in FCAT 2.0 L1 or L2 • Learning Gain of 1.1 = Required growth + 33% or more Example: Current sixth grader, prior year level 1 eighth grader Required growth (9) points + 33% (3 points) 9 + 3 = 12 scale points

  21. READING LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • FAA (1 point) • Maintain proficient (Levels 4-9) • Improve from prior Level • Remain Levels 1-3 & gain 5 or more scale points (Required) • FAA Weighted (1.1 point) • Prior year levels 1-3 & gain Required plus 33% or more (7+) scale points

  22. MATH LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • FCAT 2.0/Algebra 1/Geometry EOC (1 point) • Use higher of FCAT 2.0 Math or EOC • Maintain proficient (L3-L5) • Improve from L1 to L2, L1 to L3, or L2 to L3 • Remain L1 & increase common scale score • Remain L2 & increase common scale score • FDOE will use a common scale for comparisons

  23. MATH LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • FCAT 2.0 Weighted (1.1 or 1.2 point) • (1.1) Prior year level 1 or 2 & gain Requiredplus 33% or more scale points see example • (1.1) Move from lower level into L4 • (1.2) Move from lower level into L5 1.1 1.2 Retained students make learning gains by maintaining a proficiency level, increasing a level, or increasing a scale score Level 5 Level 4

  24. MATH LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • FAA (1 point) • Maintain proficient (Levels 4-9) • Improve from prior Level • Remain Levels 1-3 & gain 5 or more scale points (Required) • FAA Weighted (1.1 point) • Prior year levels 1-3 & gain Required plus 33% or more (7+) scale points

  25. MATH LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • Algebra 1 EOC with Prior FCAT 2.0 Math (1 point) • Maintain same proficient level • Improve from L1 to L2, L1 to L3, or L2 to L3 • Remain L1 & increase common scale score • Remain L2 & increase common scale score • Algebra 1 EOC Weighted (1.1 or 1.2 point) • (1.1) Move from lower level into L4 • (1.2) Move from lower level into L5 • FDOE will use a common scale for comparisons • Compare Algebra 1 EOC with prior year FCAT 2.0 Math

  26. LOWEST 25% READING LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • Calculating Lowest 25% - Reading • Only students in prior year L1 or L2 • Calculate for each student group • The sum of all groups plus other retained students in prior year L1 and L2 Fewer than 30 students L2 or below, reading gains of all students substituted *Students who skip a grade will show Learning Gains by moving up a level or maintaining L3+

  27. LOWEST 25% MATH LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • Calculating Lowest 25% - Mathematics • Only students in prior year L1 or L2 (excluding FAA) • Calculate for each student group • The sum of all groups plus other retained students in prior year L1 and L2 Fewer than 30 students L2 or below mathematics gains of all students substituted *Students who skip a grade will show Learning Gains by moving up a level or maintaining L3+

  28. LOWEST 25% LEARNING GAINS • Lowest 25% Adequate Progress • At least 50 percent of the Lowest 25% (50% in Reading and 50% in Mathematics) make Learning Gains or show improvement from the prior year: • Lowest 25% Adequate Progress Penalty

  29. ACCELERATION PERFORMANCE & PARTICIPATION (100 pts) • High School Level EOC Assessments and Industry Certifications • Participation – 50 points • Performance – 50 points Schools without grade 8 will NOT have this component included in their school grade calculation. (e.g., K-7 school)

  30. ACCELERATION PERFORMANCE & PARTICIPATION (100 pts) • PARTICIPATION CALCULATION The denominator is adjusted to remove any grade 8 student who previously took (or passed) the EOC in a prior year or who otherwise met their graduation requirement for Algebra 1 prior to the current year.

  31. ACCELERATION PERFORMANCE & PARTICIPATION (100 pts) • PARTICIPATION CALCULATION The denominator is adjusted to remove any grade 8 student who previously took (or passed) the EOC in a prior year or who otherwise met their graduation requirement for Algebra 1 prior to the current year.

  32. ACCELERATION PERFORMANCE & PARTICIPATION (100 pts) • PERFORMANCE CALCULATION

  33. SUMMMARY OF CHANGES: PERFORMANCE, LOWEST 25% LEARNING GAINS • FY2013 • Math – Geometry EOC • New Achievement Levels • Science – FCAT 2.0 • New Achievement Levels • Writing – 3.5 Score, 60 Minutes • Reading Performance Penalty • Lowest 25% Progress Penalty Reinstated

  37. Purpose • Identify accountability data in the Educational Data Warehouse • Determine specific monitoring tools relative to school and student performance.

  38. How did your school’s tested populationperform on the 2013 Winter Diagnostics– FCAT 2.0, Algebra 1 EOC and Geometry EOC?

  39. What assessments are used to measure student performance? • Winter Diagnostics • Reading • Algebra 1 Florida EOC and Geometry EOC

  40. Who are the accountable students in the Performance categories? • Students reported in Survey 2 (October FTE), Survey 3 (February FTE), and first day of FCAT Writing test • Students attending public schools • ELL students with at least 365 calendar days in a U.S. school
