6 School Improvement Plan Continue: Public School Choice Continue: Public School Choice Supplemental Continue: Public School Choice Supplemental Services Public School Choice Supplemental Services Corrective Action Plan for Alternative Governance AYP Step 1 2 3 4 Implement Plan For Alternative Governance Step 5 12 AYP AYP TIMELINE FOR SCHOOLS (Consequences apply only to schools receiving Title I funds) Sanctions are a District Responsibility Identified for School Improvement WASL Results WASL Results 6

7 Implementation of School Improvement Requirements – Flexibility from requirement for school districts to identify or take improvement actions for schools identified for improvement, corrective action, or restructuring – Eliminates Public School Choice (PSC) as a mandate – Eliminates Supplemental Educational Services (SES) as a mandate – Eliminates the 20% district Title I set aside to fund PSC and SES – Eliminates the 10% set aside for professional development for schools FLEXIBILITY TO IMPROVE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND INCREASE THE QUALITY OF INSTRUCTION 7

8 WHAT DOES ESEA FLEXIBILITY REQUIRE FROM STATES? 1.Ensure college- and career-ready expectations for all students in Washington – Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) 2.Implement state-developed system of differentiated recognition, accountability, and support 3.Support effective instruction and leadership in Washington— Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project (TPEP) 4.Reduce duplication and unnecessary burden on school districts by the state 8

9 PRINCIPLE 1: COLLEGE- AND CAREER-READY EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL STUDENTS To support States in continuing the work of transitioning students, teachers, and schools to higher standards Adopt college- and career-ready (CCR) standards in at least reading/language arts and mathematics Transition to and implement CCR standards Develop and administer Statewide, aligned, high-quality assessments that measure student growth Adopt English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards corresponding to the State’s new CCR standards and develop aligned assessments 9

10 PRINCIPLE 2: STATE-DEVELOPED DIFFERENTIATED RECOGNITION, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND SUPPORT To support states’ efforts to move forward with next-generation accountability systems Set ambitious but achievable Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) Reward schools: Provide incentives and recognition for high-progress and highest performing Title I schools Priority schools: Identify lowest performing schools and implement interventions aligned with the turnaround principles Focus schools: Close achievement gaps by identifying and implementing interventions in schools with the greatest achievement gaps or low graduation rates Provide incentives and supports for other Title I schools (Emerging Schools) Build State Education Agency (SEA), Local Education Agency (LEA), and school capacity to improve student learning in all schools 10

11 STATES MUST: Set ambitious, but achievable, Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) Identify: – Reward schools: Provide incentives and recognition for high- progress and highest performing Title I schools – Priority schools: Identify lowest performing schools and implement interventions aligned with the turnaround principles – Focus schools: Identify and implement meaningful interventions (e.g., turnaround principles) in schools with the lowest performing subgroups – Other low-performing Title I schools (Emerging schools): Provide incentives and support Build state, district, and school capacity 11

12 ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM BASED ON ESEA REQUEST ESEA Request Accountability System Used to identify Reward, Priority, Focus, and Emerging schools Washington State’s New Accountability System Used to identify Reward, Priority, Focus, and Emerging schools for Title I and non- Title I schools School Improvement Uses AYP calculations to identify schools and districts in a step of improvement (Title I) Uses PLA Methodology based on AYP calculations to generate list of Persistently Lowest Achieving Schools (PLAs) SBE/OSPI Achievement Index Used to identify Award Schools AYP Determinations Sanctions for schools and districts “in improvement” Set-asides required for Public School Choice and Supplemental Education Services Up to 2011-12 2012-13 and 2013-14 2014-15 and beyond AMO Calculations Annual targets intended to close proficiency gaps by half by 2017; uses 2011 as baseline and adds equal annual increments (1/6 of proficiency gap) to get to 2017 target; each subgroup, school, district, and state have unique annual targets. Calculations reported on Report Card No AYP sanctions based on identification of schools and districts “in improvement” Requires districts to set aside up to 20% for Priority, Focus, and Emerging Schools 12

13 OPTION A: SET AMBITIOUS BUT ACHIEVABLE ANNUAL MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES (AMOs) NEW AMOs (Targets): Cut Proficiency Gap by Half by 2017 Sample High School - 10 th Grade Reading Our goal for all Students remains 100% meeting standard! Proficiency Gap Decrease of 50% 13

14 Priority : Based on “All Students” Performance Priority (lowest 5%) Focus (lowest 10% ) Emerging Focus ( Next 10%) Emerging Priority ( Next 5%) Next 5% Focus : Based on “Subgroup” Performance Next 10% Thresholds: Priority: <38.1% Emerging-P: <42.3% Focus: <13.5% Emerging-F: <19.8% HOW IS A SCHOOL IDENTIFIED? (Emerging = Other Title I Schools) 14

15 PROPOSED STATE AND FEDERAL ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM Priority: Lowest 5% based on Index + High Schools w/Grad Rates < 60% State SystemFederal Definitions Focus: Subgroup Performance – Lowest 10% on Assessments + Grad Rates < 60% “Emerging”: Next 5% based on Index Reward – Highest Performing Reward – High-Progress 15

16 PRINCIPLE 3: SUPPORTING EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTION AND LEADERSHIP To support SEA and LEA development of evaluation systems that go beyond NCLB’s minimum HQT standards Develop and adopt SEA guidelines for local teacher and principal evaluation and support systems Ensure LEAs implement teacher and principal evaluation and support systems that are consistent with SEA guidelines 16

17 PRINCIPLE 3 - NEXT STEPS ActionTimeline Principle 3 amendment submittedJuly 19, 2013 Response from U.S. Dept. of ED (high-risk status) August 14, 2013 WA State response to “high-risk” status September 12, 2013 Legislation request/change January-March 2014 17

18 USE OF STUDENT GROWTH DATA USING STATE-BASED TOOLS Upshot: State-based tools have limited applicability. Only teachers in Grades 4–8 with ELA or math courses can use summative testing as part of their evaluation. (HS math teachers with students in 9 th grade Algebra or 10 th grade Geometry could be included) – Since evaluations are due in early May and SGP ratings aren’t available until Sept. 1, analysis will always be one year behind. – Teacher attribution is challenging at all levels: Middle school students are reported by individual classes in CEDARS Elementary school students are reported by homeroom teacher in CEDARS – Transition to a new set of standards and a new exam system will take time. 18

19 STUDENT GROWTH PERCENTILES WHERE WE ARE March 2013: SGPs from 2011 & 2012 have been provided to districts for Grades 4–8 and high school (reading and math MSP, HSPE, and EOC) * October 2013: SGPs from 2013 provided to districts October 2014: ? October 2015: SGPs from 2015 (Smarter Balanced) provided to districts October 2016: SGPs from 2016 (Smarter Balanced) provided to districts (could use in 2016–17 evaluations) *High school SGPs will be available for consecutive year tests (e.g., 8 th MSP, 9 th Algebra 1, 10 th Geometry) 19

Measure % of teachers= assessment* ExamplesStrengthsLimitations Classroom- Based Tools 100%  Student work  Graphic organizers  Performance tasks  Unit assessments  Art/PE performance assessments  Capture authentic student work and learning  Relevant to teachers to inform practice in a timely way  Difficult to compare across classrooms  May lack validity  More time involved to assess students School-Based Tools 79%  Common formative assessments  7th grade writing samples  Kindergarten readiness  Encourage team goal setting  Relevant to both teacher/principal evaluations  May not be comparable between districts  Training for principals key to implementation District-Based Tools 30.8%  District-developed benchmark exams  MAP assessments  DIBELS (literacy)  Can compare across schools/districts  Useful in district-wide PLC and vertical teaming  May not have district capacity to support timely use of data  May lack reliability in administration of assessments State-Based Tools 16.2%  MSP  HSPE  SAT  ACT  AP exams  Higher likelihood of validity for assessing student performance  Widely available and public  Only relevant to a small percentage of teachers  Data is not quickly accessible to quickly inform teaching practice AVAILABLE STUDENT GROWTH MEASURES TPEP PILOT SITE DATA 21

22 STATE An SEA is responsible for ensuring that an LEA develops and implements evaluation and support systems consistent with the guidelines the SEA has developed under principle 3 (as described in the document titled ESEA Flexibility). This includes ensuring that LEA evaluation and support systems take into account data on student growth in significant part in determining teacher and principal performance levels…. For grades and subjects in which assessments are required under ESEA section 1111(b)(3), an SEA must define a statewide approach for measuring student growth based on such assessments. Student growth data that is relevant to the teacher and subject matter must be a factor in the evaluation process and must be based on multiple measures that can include classroom-based, school-based, district-based, and state- based tools. Student growth means the change in student achievement between two points in time. E2SSB 6696 contains language around student growth including: ESEA Flexibility -- Frequently Asked Questions (C-53): What are an SEA’s responsibilities with regard to ensuring that an LEA’s evaluation and support systems consider student growth? 22 FEDERAL

23 USED requires state test scores in tested grades and subjects to be a significant part of teacher evaluation Waiver requires change from “can be used” to “must be used” regarding state tests Supt. Dorn will seek request legislation to change ESSB 5895 language from can to must. It will also include a statement that will delay the implementation of using state test scores in teacher evaluations to 2016-17 Smarter Balanced assessment system will have an effect on timeline for implementation Waiver decision expected May 2014 20% of Title 1 funds return to mandated use without a waiver: – $44M total available to Supplemental Educational Service (SES) providers and to support School Choice – $18M used three years ago – $2.6M in Seattle PRINCIPLE 3: ESEA WAIVER 23

Goals do not identify multiple, high- quality sources of data to monitor, adjust, and evaluate achievement of goals. Establishes appropriate student growth goals for subgroups of students not reaching full learning potential. Goals identify multiple, high-quality sources of data to monitor, adjust, and evaluate achievement of goals. Establishes appropriate student growth goals for subgroups of students not reaching full potential in collaboration with students, parents, and other school staff. Goals identify multiple, high- quality sources of data to monitor, adjust, and evaluate achievement of goals. Student Growth 3.2: Achievement of Student Growth Goal(s) UnsatisfactoryBasicProficientDistinguished Growth or achievement data from at least two points in time shows no evidence of growth for most students. Multiple sources of growth or achievement data from at least two points in time show some evidence of growth for some students. Multiple sources of growth or achievement data from at least two points in time show clear evidence of growth for most students. Multiple sources of growth or achievement data from at least two points in time show evidence of high growth for all or nearly all students. 36

49 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION HS Testing for Graduation (new June 30) Graduation Assessment Requirements  Classes of 2013 and 2014  HSPE Reading, HSPE Writing; 1 EOC Math  Classes of 2015 – 2018  ELA exit exam; 1 EOC Math exit exam; EOC Biology  Smarter Balanced ELA and math tests taken in 11 th for school accountability  Class of 2019 and beyond  Smarter Balanced tests in ELA and Math; Biology or NGSS 49

50 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Smarter Balanced Field Testing  US Dept of Ed is allowing states to participate in the Smarter Balanced field test in 2013-14 (pending ESEA Waiver approval):  Washington has opted for the blended model (grades 3-8 only) where some schools take current tests and some schools take field tests  If only giving field tests, school accountability is carried over from 2013 MSP  Waiver will be submitted at end of November– approval likely in December  High schools need to administer all current state tests due to graduation requirements 50

51 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION What’s Happening This Year, 2013-14?  Exit exams remain the same (HSPE, EOC)  CAA options remain the same  Class of 2013 had some relaxation of Collection of Evidence rules that had been newly implemented – these will not continue ( COE is limited to one submission per content area throughout HS, and requires two attempts on general assessment before submitting )  Some schools will administer Smarter Balanced field test 51

52 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Smarter Balanced Field Testing  March - June 2014  Purpose: Evaluate items and tasks for Smarter Balanced pool… Statistical data analysis of 22,000+ items Divide items/tasks into secure (summative) pool and open (interim) pool Conduct standard setting for different performance levels (“cut scores”)  Sampling requires about 10% of each state’s students for ELA and about 10% for math  Washington has about 33% participating in grades 3-8, and 10% in 11 th 52

53 EFFECTS OF RECENT LEGISLATION 1080 / 1000 Hour Requirement ESSB 5946 – Educational Outcomes E2SSB 5329 – K-12 Education – Failing Schools ESSB 5491 – K-12 Schools – Educational System Health 53

54 2009 law; 2013 budget authority For 2014-15, Grade 7-12 1080-hour requirement – RCW 28A.150.204 allows passing time “intermissions” and early dismissals for parent conferences but not professional development releases – Most middle and high schools employ a 6-hour student instructional day – 6 x 180 = 1080 – Every 5 minute extension = 15 hours All K-6 grades are required to offer 1000 hours 1080 HOURS 54

55 K-4 report cards include whether a student is reading on grade level Beginning in 2014-15, interventions are required for below grade level readers beginning with 3 rd grade. Beginning in 2015-16, districts must implement an intensive reading improvement strategy from an OSPI menu. Focus of LAP program changes: Needs of K-4 students with reading deficiencies are highest priority. Current LAP plans are replaced with entrance and exit performance data. Student Discipline Task Force must set up standards definitions for disciplinary events. Expulsions are limited to one year and emergency expulsions must end after 10 days. The ALE 80% funding regulations is repealed. ESSB 5946 – EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES 55

56 The State Board of Education (SBE) and OSPI must establish rules for “challenged schools in need of improvement” A required action district (RAD) designation is further divided between RAD I and RAD II, the later subject to increasing attention from OSPI E2SSB 5329 – K-12 EDUCATION – FAILING SCHOOLS 56

57 The SBE must establish six statewide indicators of educational system health: – The six characteristics measured in WaKIDS – Fourth Grade Reading – Eighth Grade Math – Four-Year Cohort Graduation Rate – Percentage of high school graduates enrolled in college training programs or employed within nine months – College remediation rates All indicators must be disaggregated ESSB 5491 – K-12 SCHOOLS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM HEALTH 57
