3. Reflecting on last year... In grade levels, What were your learning goals last year? What did you do to achieve those goals?

4. CST Scores 2011 CST Results

5. Q: How are the CST results reported to schools and teachers? Site administrators and staff receive CST results of: ◦ Individual students ◦ Classes ◦ Grade levels ◦ Schools ◦ District ◦ County ◦ And, overall state performance

6. SAUSD Data Mats Work with a partner to examine the Data Mat... What do you notice at your grade level or department within subject areas? What patterns do you notice overall from elementary through high school in the various subject areas?

10. State and Federal Accountability systems

11. Our Accountability System Federal Accountability Status model Every school & district has the same target. Targets reach 100% proficient by 2013-2014 Type of rating = Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)  Meets or does not meet AYP State Accountability Growth model with a statewide performance goal of 800 Schools and all subgroups have growth goals. Type of rating = Academic Performance Index (API)  Scale of 200-1000 Source: California Department of Education (CDE) The CST is used for both Accountability Systems. The AYP also includes CAPA, CMA (All Schools) & CAHSEE (For High Schools)

12. Adequate Yearly Progress - AYP Academic Performance Index - API Components of AYP Participation rate Percent Proficient API Graduation rate All Proficient and Advanced Students Count on Your Score Components of API Advanced 1000 Proficient 875 Basic 700 Below Basic 500 Far Below Basic 200 Every Student Counts

13. AYP Percent Proficient Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) Elementary and Middle Schools are based on: The California Standards Tests (CSTs) The California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA) for students with severe cognitive disabilities California Modified Assessment (CMA) High Schools are based on: Results from the Grade 10 California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) administration The California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA) for students with severe cognitive disabilities in English-language arts and mathematics in grade 10 NCLB prohibits the use of norm-referenced test data in measuring student achievement

14. Annual Measurable Objectives To achieve AYP, a school must meet or exceed Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) schoolwide and for each student subgroup:  Economically disadvantaged  Major ethnic and racial groups  Students with disabilities  English language learners

19. DataDirector: What’s New

21. Suggested Pre-Built Reports for Viewing STAR Results on DataDirector Report Name: What is it? What does it include?Notes: CST Scaled Scores Easy to read snapshot of individual student performance on a CST as they relate to the performance band. Identifies students who are on the margins of advancing or falling-back a proficiency level Filters and identifies students by performance level or scaled score, e..g. I only want to view students who were on the “bubble,” 340 and above on the CST ELA for grade 9. CST Cluster Scores Identifies performance for individual students, teachers, district and state on each of the strands tested on the CST. Provides pie charts and bar graphs on classroom averages, school averages, district averages as well as performance level distributions. Important: Remember to use the Summary Options menu. Click on the“Include Teacher Summary” option to view the pie charts. Pivot TableCST or CELDT student performance comparison over a 2 year period. Creates pivot tables that identify “sliders, gainers, stickers.” See next slide CST Percent Proficient Trend Analysis Multi-tiered analysis of students proficient on the CST. Includes bar graphs and charts of students’ performance over time. Includes disaggregated subgroup performance. Compare growth trends in number of students proficient or at the varying proficiency levels for multiple years. Select “Cohort Report” to see only students who took any of the selected assessments. Select “Limited Cohort Report” for students who took all selected assessments. The “Year to Year Comparison” compares students and their test results from one academic year to another.

22. Next Steps: Think about what you discussed and your feedback from your colleagues Discuss with grade level team and your administrator to determine your goals for this year What might your goals be? What’s your plan? Instructionally? Interventions? Monitoring of student progress and goals?
