Video Overview �VDOE requirements �HCPS response on requirements to date �Building upon the existing PGEP �Student academic progress �Evaluation details 2
What is the difference between growth and achievement? Please include examples. Growth Achievement 3
Existing Measures of Growth Directions: Again in your small group, develop a list of measures that HCPS already has in place that measure students’ growth. Focus your discussion primarily on reading and math. You have ten minutes to develop your list. 4
Additional Measures of Student Growth �Sufficient measures are not in place �Must use multiple measures �Specialists have worked to identify additional measures (where needed) �Groups of teachers have been involved in the process �Will talk first about “traditional” teachers �Will discuss special education after this 5
Elementary Measures K � Gr. 1 � Gr. 2 � � Gr. 3 � Gr. 4 � Gr. 5 Reading Only PALS Reading & Math* Social Studies/Science Reading & Math Social Studies/Science MAP/PALs Pilot Measures Available MAP & SOL SGPs Pilot Measures Available *Because there will not be SGPs for grade 3 (growth cannotrd be compared from previous years), there is only one math measure for 3 grade.
�Elementary students are expected to make growth in all subject areas, just as has always been the case. �The growth of students in elementary teachers’ HOMEROOM will be examined. 7
Sample: 2 nd Grade Reading Measures � Measure # 1 All students will show growth in two of four measures of PALS text reading (Measures include text level, words per minute, fluency, comprehension). Unique exceptions will be quantified or additional information collected to represent student growth. For all students in a class, teachers will select two of four measures of text reading (text level, words per minute, fluency, and/or comprehension). Different measures may be used for individual students. A comparison of measured scores will be made between fall and spring to identify growth. � Measure #2 Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening PALS summed score. (Year 1 Pilot) Student data will be gathered and presented on the PALS summed score. The PALS summed score is comprised of the grade level word list and spelling list. 8
Sample: 4 th Grade Mathematics Measures � Measure # 1: NWEA RIT scores. All students will show growth. Unique exceptions will be quantified or additional information collected to represent student growth. RIT growth will be calculated by comparing NWEA math scores from fall to spring. � Measure #2: Student growth percentiles. Increase in aggregated percentage of students at moderate/high growth levels. Unique exceptions will be quantified or additional information collected to represent student growth. Using the student growth profiles, the Division of Research and Planning will provide teachers with the number and percentage of students within low, moderate, and high growth levels. 9
