STAAR Progress Indicator  Gain Score  Take the difference between last year’s scale score and current year’s scale score.  Successive grade levels or skipped grade levels (not same grade level)  Same version or type of assessment  Is the gain score greater than or equal to the met progress cut score?  Is the gain score greater than or equal to the exceeded progress cut score?  Exceptions  Chance range (1/4 of the number of multiple choice questions)  Top range (top 3 scores)  Advanced in current year and last year

How to Use STAAR Progress Indicator at the Beginning of the Year For each student  Pull current year data  Raw score  Scale score  Level 2  Level 3  STAAR Progress  Pull last year’s data  Raw score  Scale score  Level 2  Level 3

How to Use STAAR Progress Indicator at the Beginning of the Year  Export file to Excel  Rank order current year raw score from lowest to highest  Add column for Gain Score  Identify students falling in Chance Score range – will not meet progress  Top Score range – will exceed progress  Calculate Gain Score (current year scale score minus prior year scale score)  Compare Gain Score to Table 1 values & flowchart

She had a negative gain score. She lost ground. While Jose had a positive gain score. He passed last year, but did not this year. Lucy hasn’t passed a reading test yet, but she is making progress. STAAR Progress measure was not applicable for Diego. He was an ELL student. Maddox exceeded progress. His prior year data came from another school district.

He exceeded progress. Rebecca was and continues to be a “bubble kid,” and she met growth. Weren’t worried about Isaiah. He did well on the G3 test. While he passed this year, he had a negative gain score. Lizette was 5 questions above the cut score. She probably won’t be considered a bubble kid, but she did not meet progress. Mallory went from not passing in grade 3 to a 5 question cushion this year. She exceeded progress.

Devin passed and was advanced last year. While Devin passed this year and still had a solid score he had a substantial negative gain score. Gary passed both years, but did not progress enough. Helen passed and was advanced both years. She met progress because she was advanced both years. She was at the cut level for advanced. At this rate she will not be advanced next year. Graham passed and became advanced this year. With 1 more question correct he would have exceeded progress

How to Use STAAR Progress Measure Looking Forward  Project individual student progress for the next year  Use the latest STAAR individual students results  Use the Table 1 Values for Computing STAAR Progress Measures  Calculate needed scale score for “Met” progress and “Exceeded” progress  Use the raw score conversion tables to determine a close number of questions needed.  Remember the raw score associated with a scale score can fluctuate from year-to-year

 Pull individual student data  Raw score  Scale score  Met status  Advanced status  Export to Excel and add columns  Rank order students by raw score from lowest to highest  “new” scale score if Level I or II in prior year (add the number of points found in the Table 1 – Computing STAAR Progress Measures)  “new” scale score if Level III in prior year (add the number of points found in the Table 1 – Computing STAAR Progress Measures)  Add columns with the scale scores and associated number of questions (in that order) from the appropriate prior year Raw Score Conversion table and name the area (separate sheet or separate area of page)  With this “new” scale score you can use the VLOOKUP function in Excel to determine the threshold number of questions correct. How to Use STAAR Progress Measure Looking Forward

1. Select scale and raw score information and name it here. For example: conv_read 2. Add the points for new scale score 3. VLOOKUP command =VLOOKUP(H3,conv_read,2) and apply the formula downward until you reach lines where the students had advanced performance. Remember to denote the Chance Scores

Proceed the same way with the Met Level II Prior Yr column and the Exceeded column Remember to denote the Top Score range Helps students and teachers see about how many questions they need to have correct to meet progress and how many additional questions they need to exceed!
