  1. Arizona LEARNS: Overview of the Achievement Profiles

  2. Part 1: An Overview of the AZ LEARNS Model • Basis of the model is AIMS • School average is compared to state average • Baseline 1999-2000 % of students meeting/exceeding • Change points Credit for increasing percent of students in M/E Credit for decreasing FFB students • Added Evidence Stanford 9 – One Year’s Growth (OYG) Extended Writing for Grades 3-8 Impact is relatively small • Mobility and ELL’s not included

  3. A Single Designation for Each School(Based on Multiple Subject Area Designations) (Example Elementary School) School Designations E = Excelling I = Improving M = Maintaining Performance U = Underperforming School Designation = M If One possible scenario Math 3rd Grade = I Math 5th Grade = M Reading 3rd Grade = M Reading 5th Grade = U Writing 3rd Grade = I Writing 5th Grade = I There are many possible scenarios that could lead to a designation

  4. How Designations for Each Subject and Grade are Determined % Mastery Status Groupings Change Points 1. What is your school baseline grouping?

  5. What is your school baseline grouping? Your school is placed into a Group (1- 5) based on the percent of students with Meeting or Exceeding scores on each AIMS content area during the school year 99-00 (Relative to the State mean) % Mastery Status Groupings Your school is placed into Group 6 only if it has a mastery of 90% or higher over 3 years For example: If your school had a Mastery rate of 45% for 5th grade Math it would be placed into Group 4

  6. How Designations for Each Subject Area are Determined % Mastery Status Groupings Change Points 1. What is your school grouping? 2. How much did your school change on AIMS? Percent of Students with Meeting or Exceeding Scores on the AIMS (School year 99-00)

  7. How much did your school change? How school change points are computed for grades 3,5,8 • Credit is given if the school increases the percent of its students that Meet or Exceed on AIMS • Credit is given if the school decreases the percent of its students that Fall Far Below on AIMS • Credit given for Added Evidence from the Stanford 9 (OYG) and Extended Writing on AIMS

  8. Example: School Change Points Percent of students at the school with Falls Far Below scores Year 2000 (Baseline) 20% Average from last 3 years 18% Difference 2% Percent of students at the school with Meets or Exceeds scores Year 2000 (Baseline) 40% Average from last 3 years 50% Difference 10% Total School Change Points: 12

  9. Example: Adjusting Your School Change Points Using Added Evidence • School Change Points will be added if you have 60% or higher students making one year’s growth(OYG). OYG is based on the Stanford 9. To achieve OYG, students need to get at least the same or higher stanine for two consecutive years. • For example; If your school had 90% of students making OYG, then you could get almost 4% added to your 3rd grade Math change points. • This is added to AIMS Growth Points for Reading and Math for Grades 3,5,8 (Elementary and Middle Schools).

  10. Example: Adjusting Change Points Using Added Evidence(Cont.) • Extended Writing from AIMS • School Change Points will be added based on the percent of students with 24 or more points from the Extended Writing subtest on the AIMS. For example, if your school had 50% of its students with Extended Writing scores of 24 or higher, then you could get 3.3% added to your 3rd grade Writing change points • This applies to Writing for Grades 3,5,8

  11. How Designations for Each Subject Area are Determined % Mastery Status Groupings Change Points 1. Where did your school start? Percent of Students with Meeting or Exceeding Scores on the AIMS (School year 99-00) 2. How much did your school change on AIMS? (Last 3-year average %) – (school year 2000 %)

  12. Working Through an Example School Elementary School A Math 3rd Grade % Mastery Status Groupings 3 State Values -6.72% .79% 8.3% 15.81% 23.32% Change Points 14.0 17.91 Added Evidence for Math OYG = 90% Added points = 3.91 The Math Designation for this grade is: I or (5 points)

  13. A Single Designation for Each School(Based on Multiple Subject Area Designations) (Example Elementary School) School Designations E = Excelling I = Improving M = Maintaining Performance U = Underperforming School Designation = M If One possible scenario Math 3rd Grade = I Math 5th Grade = M Reading 3rd Grade = M Reading 5th Grade = U Writing 3rd Grade = I Writing 5th Grade = I There are many possible scenarios that could lead to a designation

  14. Working Through an Example School (Cont.) Elementary School A Designation Values Math 3rd I = 5 Math 5th M = 3 Reading 3rd M = 3 Reading 5th U = 0 Writing 3rd I = 5 Writing 5th I = 5 Total value 21 This yields an overall school designation value of 21

  15. Classification Table for Elementary Schools with 6 Subject by Grade Combinations

  16. Part 2: An Overview of the Achievement Profile Data

  17. The online report shows both state and TUSD data for School Designation …. School Designation Using TUSD Data School Designation Using ADE Data

  18. Subject by Grade Level Designation Using ADE Data ..and subject by grade level Designation. Subject by Grade Level Designation Using TUSD Data

  19. What does a discrepancy mean? Any discrepancy between ratings (Subject/Grade or Overall) indicates a rating close to change.

  20. Baseline Group The Baseline Group is determined by the percent of students with meeting or exceeding scores on AIMS in school year 99-00 (the baseline year). Cut points for Baseline Groups differ across subjects and grade levels.

  21. Baseline Percent Mastery The percent of students with Meeting or Exceeding scores on the AIMS in School Year 99-00

  22. Baseline Percent Falls Far Below The percent of students with Falls Far Below scores on the AIMS in School Year 99-00

  23. Past 3-Year Percent Mastery The average percent of students with Meeting or Exceeding scores on the AIMS for School Years 99-00 00-01 01-02

  24. Past 3-Year Percent Falls Far Below The average percent of students with Falls Far Below scores on the AIMS for School Years 99-00 00-01 01-02

  25. Change Points: Meeting or Exceeding Change points for Meeting and Exceed are computed as (3yr avg %) – (Baseline %)

  26. Change Points: Falls Far Below Change points for Falls Far Below are computed as (Baseline %) - (3yr avg %)

  27. Added Evidence for Reading is based on the percent of students with OYG from Stan9 Reading Added Evidence Added Evidence for Math is based on the percent of students with OYG from Stan9 Math Added Evidence for Writing is based on the percent of students with scores of 24 or higher on the Extended Writing portion of the AIMS *Added Evidence for a High School is based on Dropout and Graduation Rates

  28. Total Change Points Total Change points are the Sum of M/E Change Points,FFB Change Points, andAdded Evidence

  29. Cut Points for Lower and Higher Categories This is the number of points required for the next Highest Designation This is the number of points required for the next Lowest Designation

  30. Cut Points for Lower and Higher Categories (Example) For Example: This school is very close in 3rd grade writing to the Improving cut point (noted in green).

  31. Cut Points for Lower and Higher Categories(Example) They are also close in 3rd grade math to the Maintaining cut point (noted in green).

  32. Cut Points for Lower and Higher Categories(Example) However, This school is also close in 5th grade writing to the lower cut point.

  33. Part 3: Intranet Data Resources • The Accountability and Research Department has student-level data online that can help you to plan strategies for increasing scores at your school. • http://paweb.tusd.k12.az.us/ • For example… • Previous Year CCSA Scores by Student • AIMS Power Standards
