  3. Safe Harbor • If a subgroup fails to meet an academic target, they may make AYP through Safe Harbor. • Safe Harbor is calculated by the subgroup reducing its percentage of student not making standards by 10% of the previous years percentage. • In addition to this, the subgroup must meet the attendance or graduation rate.

  4. Calculation of Safe Harbor Because Safe Harbor is calculated ONLY for each academic subgroup using all the tests given (ISAT, PSAE, IMAGE, IAA) in the grades tested in each school, it can ONLY be calculated accurately by ISBE.

  5. Approximation of Safe Harbor 20% Meet + Exceed 80% Do Not Meet 10% Increase of 80 = 8 Increase 20 + 8 = 28 28% must Meet + Exceed AND The Subgroup must meet the Attendance or Graduation rate to reach Safe Harbor.

  6. Safe Harbor – An Exception Safe Harbor is automatically calculated by the computer ONLY if it will HELP the school possibly achieve AYP. Safe Harbor is NOT calculated if it would hurt the school’s chances of making AYP. Example: 35% Meet + Exceed 65% Do Not Meet 10% of 65 = 6.5 Increase of 35 + 6.5 = 41.5% This target is greater than the 37% subgroup target so Safe Harbor DOES NOT apply.

  7. 37% Subgroup Target – What’s That? Subgroup Targets are 3% less than the performance target. In 2004, the performance target was 40% and the subgroup performance target was 37%. In 2005, the performance target will be 47.5% and the subgroup performance target will be 44.5%

  8. Template Notes • Optional organizer • WORD doc. - Not a “template” • SIPs are public • Consider the readers: parents, peers, administrators, scorers. • Tell the story: charts, tables, narratives, appendices

  10. The AYP Information Page • Test participation • Academic performance • Attendance or graduation rate • 9 subgroups • 41 targets

  11. Multicultural

  12. 41 POINTS • All students category plus 9 subgroups equals 10 groups • Look at the 10 groups in the following areas • % tested in reading (10 targets) • % tested in math (10 targets) • Academic performance in reading (10 targets) • Academic performance in math (10 targets) • Add in 1 point for one of the following • Elementary schools look at attendance • High schools look at graduation rate

  13. Multicultural

  14. AYP Information Page • Review the AYP sheet. • Work with your SIP team to identify your school’s targets (No’s).

  15. 1.0 Performance Targets 1.1 AYP Information from the School Report Card • SIP includes a copy of the AYP info page • Score of 0 – AYP info page is not present • Score of 3 – AYP info page is present Page 1 of School Improvement Plan Template

  16. How to Copy & Paste AYP Page from the Web • Go to isbe.net • Select Report Card from left of page • Select button for City name • Type in City name • Click on Search • Click your City name • Click on your school name • Scroll to end of report card to find the AYP information page. • Select the snapshot tool to take a picture of the AYP page • Paste this page onto page 1 of the SIP plan

  17. 2.0 School Information 2.1 Information about students and staff 2.2 School characteristics narrative 2.3 Community characteristics narrative Pages 2-3 School Improvement Plan Template Describe your context.

  18. DEPENDENT VARIABLES = What are the NO’s on the AYP Information Page? (NO’s become targets) INDEPENDENT VARIABLES = What has caused these problems? STRATEGIES = How will you fix these problems? Terms ? I D

  19. 3.0 Data Collection and Information TARGETS or NO’S (DEPENDENT VARIABLES) 3.1 State assessment data 3.2 Local assessment data POSSIBLE CAUSES (INDEPENDENT VARIABLES) 3.3 Educator data 3.4 Professional development 3.5 Parent/family involvement 3.6 Additional types of data 3.7 Data quality Pages 4 – 7 School Improvement Plan Template Show your data!

  20. 4.0 Data Analysis Page 8 of School Improvement Plan Template

  21. 4.1 SUMMARIES OF DATA FOR DEPENDENT VARIABLES(3.1/3.2) Grade 3 Black students 38.4% met in reading and 33% met in math in 2003. Grade 5 Black students 24% met in reading and math in 2003. This is an example of a way to provide a summary and a comparison of data.

  22. The gaps between black and white students in math are greater than the gaps between the students in reading.

  23. Trends The scores in reading and math for the subgroup of black students in grades 3 and 5 have been declining from 2000 through 2002 but have leveled off in 2003. The 2003 scores are still below the required AYP targets.

  24. Section 4.2: Diagnosis of Performance Targets “No”3 “No”4 “No”2 AYP Inputs “No”1 “No”5 Logical Data Analysis Refine the Targets 2 Narrower Same Broader 3 Possible Outputs 1 3 4 5 What’s the real problem?

  25. 4.3 Hypotheses to Explain Dependent Variables SIP team and faculty members brainstorm possible causes: Why did this groupfail to hit the target?

  26. Targets & Possible Causes TARGET or PROBLEM Low reading scores Poor attendance Insufficient # tested POSSIBLE CAUSES Instructional materials Moms’ education Teachers on leave Teacher mobility Student mobility Flu epidemic Uneven ILS instruction
