NCLB - What’s New in 2007-2008?

Adequate Yearly Progress – Participation Rates (NDE calculates)

Two ways

i. “Old” way is the same (doesn’t count any more)

ii. “New” way - All students who have been assessed at any time on any standards minus students not assessed (parental waivers, out of level or modified)

NCLB - What’s New in 2007-2008?

New Data Displays STARS data (all students with any assessment results)

i. Disaggregated by the NCLB subgroups

ii. Each grade (3-8 and 11) for Reading and Math; each grade span for Science

iii. Percent Proficient by performance level

iv. Percent not-assessed

v. Compare school to district to state

vi. Four levels of proficiency

Data Conference Opportunity

April 28th, 2008 - Kearney

Partnership with ESU, NSEA, NCSA, NASB, NDE

Districts will have to insure that they have policies and procedures in place to assure data quality in 2008-09

Will be included in the Consolidated Program Review

Goal is to train a data coordinator in each agency

Schedules, Process, Reviewers

Technical Clarifications Opportunity to Learn

• 2006-07 Schedule• “On-going”• Math Standards

Reliability – Criterion #5• Decision Consistency (independent judgment)

Mastery Levels – Criterion #6• Sufficiency or Mastery Levels• Angoff – Round 1 and Round 2

Nebraska-led Peer Review of STARS

Reporting Results from Multiple Assessments Districts/consortiums need a plan with consistently applied

business rules• Form A or B? (both are technically sound)• Weighted?• Combined?

All students in district or consortium have fair, equitable reporting – using same plan

Cannot “pick” certain assessments for some and different results for others

Adaptive test results cannot be used for standards (Tests that adjust to grade level performance of student)
