Adequate Yearly Progress Kansas State Department of Education 2007 Fall Assessment Conference Judi Miller,

No Child Left Behind (NCLB)— Purpose: Ensure all children have an opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state assessments

Defining Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Method for making judgment about progress toward reaching goal

AYP is calculated on the percent of students at “Meets Standard” and above on state reading and mathematics assessments.

Changes KSDE will do AYP calculations rather than CETE Clarification—Science is not part of AYP Reauthorization may change this

Changes Apply remainder of 1% cap to 2% cap—not to exceed 3% Included former students with disabilities for 2 additional years

1% Cap What does the 1% cap for alternate assessments mean? Limitation set by USDE Does not limit % taking alternate assessments Limits the % included in calculating AYP as meets standard and above at district and State levels Waiver process

What happens to those above the 1% cap? Reassigned at all levels as below standard for AYP Report to parents actual results Consider students in fewest subgroups Schools already not making AYP Submit waiver

KAMM and 2% Cap No limit on number of SWD’s taking KAMM 2% limitation on counting student results as proficient Reassigned in same manner as 1% cap No waiver or appeal on 2%

AYP Targets Changed May 2007 by SBOE Approved by USDE

Challenges Accountability data reside in multiple systems Data are sometimes not provided on a timely basis Federal timelines impact process Review & verification of data

Data Sources for AYP--CETE Assessment results General assessments General assessments with accommodations KAMM Alternate assessments KELPA--for recently arrived ELLs--participation Special circumstances (SC) codes—previously NT codes Accommodations

Data Sources--KIDS Disaggregated student groups: Race/ethnicity, lunch status, ELL, SWD AYP school Full academic year; exit information ELLs-recently arrived; monitored Test type

KIDS “TEST” Submission Upload replaces “PSLG” and “AUPD” Completed prior to any OTL testing Grade 10 & 11 student data uploaded to generate OTL reports Deadlines: 1/18/08 Math and Reading 2/18/08 Science and History
