CT’s New Accountability System
• CT’s No Child Left Behind Waiver was approved by USDE on May 29, 2012– Replaces AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) under
NCLB with CT designed annual performance targets
– Replaces NCLB sanctions for schools and districts with more effective interventions
– Schools will no longer be identified as “in need of improvement” based on 2012 CMT/CAPT
3
Major ShiftsNCLB CT’s New Indicators
Target is Proficient Target is - on average - Goal
Get to 100% by 2014 Halfway to target by 2018
Only Math and Reading count
Math, Reading, Writing and Science count
4
NCLB CT’s New Indicators School progress only measured by standardized test scores
School progress also measured by high school graduation rates (4-year and extended)
Accountable for subgroups of students of 40 or greater
Still accountable for subgroups of students, but 20 students or greater
5
Performance Index
• Each district, school, subject and subgroup will have a Performance Index
• Index is between 0 and 100• Counts performance in all tested grade levels• Captures performance across all performance bands• Includes all tested subjects: reading, writing, math
and science• Incorporates all tested students, including students
who take the MAS and Skills Checklist
6
How Can a School Increase its SPI(School Performance Index)?
• For a school with 100 students…..NCLB CT’s New Indicators Increasing % Proficient by 9% requires moving 9 students who were not Proficient to Proficient
Increasing the SPI by 3 points requires moving 9 students across any performance threshold (0.33 for each student)

Highlights
• All 7 schools are classified as: Transitioning– Overall SPI between 64-87– Participation rate of 95% or higher – Misses one or more of the Progressing criteria
• Overall, district strength is reading and math
29
Achievement Gap
• Tracking national research, higher levels of student need are associated with lower levels of academic performance. (achievement gap)
• Wethersfield Schools do have some subgroups who met target.
