Median Student Growth Median Student Growth RatingRating

Using the distribution of statewide median student growth percentiles, cutoffs were created to indicate three levels:◦Low – below 30◦Expected – 30 to 65◦High – above 65

12ONGL-12/15/14

Rationale for RatingsRationale for RatingsThe mean Teacher Median SGP score

was 47.Expected Student Growth should

constitute approximately 2/3 of teachers.

Cut scores for Low, Expected and High were determined using the distribution of median SGPs for teachers.

Analysis of MSGPAnalysis of MSGPTwo reports are available in Infinite Campus

◦Teacher Median SGP – Summary (pdf) For use by administrators to see all 3-year combined

scores for the teachers in their building

◦Teacher Median SGP – Detail (csv) Used for validation of yearly student-level detail

included in calculation of 3-year combined score Can be run at teacher, school or district level

MSGP – system MSGP – system considerationsconsiderations

Students/Teacher links are determined by Infinite Campus course/section roster.

2014-15 through 2016-17 school years– 1) Validate data yearly through Infinite Campus reports 2) determine if Infinite Campus setup needs to change going forward.

No ability to change prior data in Infinite Campus so there is no expectation to request correction.

MSGP – recalculation of teacher MSGP – recalculation of teacher score(s)score(s)Data may need to be manually recalculated if

adjustments are needed to students assigned to teachers in course/section.

Export Infinite Campus detail report into Excel and then revise student attribution to teachers if recalculation is needed. Use median function in Excel to recalculate.

Principal enters High, Expected, or Low rating of the state student growth contribution in the Summative Evaluation Tool in EDS. It does not prepopulate. Principals use professional judgment to determine whether calculated or recalculated rating should be used.

MSGP – troubleshooting MSGP – troubleshooting scoresscoresIf teacher does not have Median SGP but expects to -- confirm for each applicable year:◦(1) teacher taught grades 4-8, reading/math◦(2) state course codes for sections taught are on list of

course codes used in calculation.◦(3) teacher has a minimum of 10 students and 100

days with these students.Why does teacher not have combined 3 year

score? Only calculated if 3 years of annual scores.

MSGP – troubleshooting MSGP – troubleshooting scoresscoresIf a teacher wants student-level details on

how the score was calculated.◦Detail report in Infinite Campus can be run.
