13. Changes in statewide trends over time (e.g., decline in statewide proficiency increases) Changes in state policies or procedures (e.g., Value Added growth now compared to current statewide trend rather than a previous base year) Changes in academic standards or assessments (e.g., new TNReady tests) 13 MNPS Academic Performance Framework Adjustment Factors

14. Focus more on relative performance rather than absolute performance (at least short term until scales stabilize) Center assessment scales so that performance equal to state average yields 50 points (TVAAS, Success Rate, MALI, ACT) Categorize student performance by state quintile rather than achievement level (MALI, possibly Success Rate) Center district surveys so that performance equal to district average yields 50 points (student, teacher, parent surveys) Use state rankings (where available) or district rankings (surveys) to assign a specific percentage of schools to each performance category 14 MNPS Academic Performance Framework Adjustments to Consider in 2016
