  1. PVAAS: One of the Data Toolsto Support Data-InformedDecision-Making in K-12 Schools PVAAS Core Team June, 2007

  2. A 3-Phase Data-Informed Inquiry Cycle Analysis Discovery Data Solutions

  3. Addressing the Priorities:A Standards-Aligned System Concepts and Competencies

  4. PDE Provides The Data Tools…

  5. “Getting Results!” A Framework for Continuous School Improvement Planning The framework provides guiding questions for root cause analyses in the following data environments: PSSA and AYP inquiry PVAAS 4Sight Benchmark Data Local Assessment Data Sets PDE Provides The Framework…

  6. Today’s Focus - PVAAS The Power of 2 PROGRESS & ACHIEVEMENT

  7. What Is PVAAS?

  8. Student Learning Measures • Status Measures • PSSA • % proficient or not proficient • Other local assessment data • Improvement Measures • Safe Harbor • PPI – Pennsylvania Improvement Index • Progress/Growth Measures • PVAAS

  9. PVAASIS: • A statistical analysis of existing assessment data. • A realistic measurement of a school’s progress/growth over time. • Progress data to add to achievement data as schools are analyzing their work with students and making improvement plans.

  10. PVAAS is NOT: • Another Test • A measure for teacher accountability

  11. Current Data Collection Approaches High Achievement Average Achievement Achievement is based on each student’s ending point. Low Achievement

  12. PVAAS Adds Another Variable To Achievement…Progress Below Growth Standard At or Above Growth Standard Progress is based on each student’s starting point.

  13. Your recommendation? Available Now!

  14. Your recommendation?

  15. Your Turn:IU5, 4th Grade Reading

  16. Your Turn:IU5, 4th Grade Math

  17. Your Turn:IU5, 6th Grade Reading

  18. Your Turn:IU5, 6th Grade Math

  19. PVAAS has Two Methodologies • Value-added Analysis for growth in cohorts of students by school, grade, subgroup. • Projection capability to calculate the likelihood of a student achieving a specified target performance level on a future PSSA test.

  20. The PVAAS Methodologies Looking Forward… PVAAS Projection Reports For Individual Students and Cohorts of Students Looking Back… Value-added Growth Reports For Cohorts of Students Today

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

  22. Student Projection Methodology • A separate longitudinal modeling process focused on the performance scores of individual students. • The model uses all of the available data (both math and reading) to project future PSSA performances in Math and Reading. • Projections can be calculated for individual student or groups of students.

  23. PVAAS Student Projection Methodology

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

  25. Identified Students Meeting Search Requirements

  26. Your Turn!!!!

  27. Let’s do a multiple search…

  28. …and paste the results into a new EXCEL tool…

  29. The result:PVAAS Projection Summary

  30. Inquiries PVAAS Projections Address Strategic Planning: What percent of students are likely to be proficient on a future PSSA examination? Intervention Planning: What percent of students are likely to need extra support in preparation for a future PSSA examination?

  31. Your Turn: The PVAAS Projection Summary An example: On the next slide, you will see a Projection Summary of 8th graders to the Proficient level on their 11th grade PSSA math and reading exams. What do you see? What do you recommend?

  32. 8th to 11th Projection to Proficiency

  33. 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.

  34. A Conceptual View of the PVAAS Value-added Growth Methodology

  35. The Assessment Dilemma True Student Achievement Any test is just a snapshot in time!

  36. Four Important Issues Difference in scores in consecutive years. 1. Measuring Gain 2. Growth Standard Convert all scores to same scale – NCE scale 3. Comparing Scores from year to year Combine current observed scores will all previous scores in students’ histories. 4. Estimating Achievement

  37. PVAAS Value-added CohortGrowth Descriptors

  38. PVAAS School Report Did everystudentcohort at each grade level reported make at least one year’s growth in Math and demonstrate expected rates of progress? (Getting Results!, p.17)

  39. Your Turn! Interpret this report!

  40. Your Turn!!!!

  41. PVAAS Diagnostic Report Did every student cohort at each performance level (below basic/basic/ proficient/advanced) meet or exceed the expected growth in Math? (Getting Results!, p.17)

  42. More Detail – Diagnostic Report

  43. Interpret these reports!

  44. Looking at a subgroup…

  45. Your Turn!!!!

  46. PA’s Intent for PVAAS • Another Tool for Continuous Improvement • Measure of Growth to Add to Achievement/Status Measures • Not to Be Used in Isolation • No Teacher-Level Analyses
