Median Student Growth Rating Using the distribution of statewide median student growth percentiles, cutoffs were created to indicate three levels: ◦ Low – below 30 ◦ Expected – 30 to 65 ◦ High – above ONGL-12/15/14

Rationale for Ratings The mean Teacher Median SGP score was 47. Expected Student Growth should constitute approximately 2/3 of teachers. Cut scores for Low, Expected and High were determined using the distribution of median SGPs for teachers. 13 ONGL-12/15/14

What was Mrs. Smith’s Reading Rating? Mrs. Smith had a median SGP of 52. She has a state contribution student growth rating of Expected. Teacher will receive annual scores plus a combined 3 year score based on attributable SGP scores. 14 ONGL-12/15/14

Analysis of MSGP Two reports are available in Infinite Campus ◦ Teacher Median SGP – Summary (pdf)  For use by administrators to see all 3-year combined scores for the teachers in their building ◦ Teacher Median SGP – Detail (csv)  Used for validation of yearly student-level detail included in calculation of 3-year combined score  Can be run at teacher, school or district level Note: Tool rights must be assigned in Campus before use. 15 ONGL-12/15/14

MSGP – system considerations Students/Teacher links are determined by Infinite Campus course/section roster through school years– 1) Validate data yearly through Infinite Campus reports 2) determine if Infinite Campus setup needs to change going forward. No ability to change prior data in Infinite Campus so there is no expectation to request correction. 16 ONGL-12/15/14

MSGP – recalculation of teacher score(s) Data may need to be manually recalculated if adjustments are needed to students assigned to teachers in course/section. Export Infinite Campus detail report into Excel and then revise student attribution to teachers if recalculation is needed. Use median function in Excel to recalculate. Principal enters High, Expected, or Low rating of the state student growth contribution in the Summative Evaluation Tool in EDS. It does not prepopulate. Principals use professional judgment to determine whether calculated or recalculated rating should be used. 17 ONGL-12/15/14

MSGP – troubleshooting scores If teacher does not have Median SGP but expects to -- confirm for each applicable year: ◦ (1) teacher taught grades 4-8, reading/math ◦ (2) state course codes for sections taught are on list of course codes used in calculation. ◦ (3) teacher has a minimum of 10 students and 100 days with these students. Why does teacher not have combined 3 year score? Only calculated if 3 years of annual scores. 18 ONGL-12/15/14

MSGP – troubleshooting scores If a teacher wants student-level details on how the score was calculated. ◦ Detail report in Infinite Campus can be run. What if there are students attributable to teacher that shouldn’t be? ◦ Make adjustments to detail report from Infinite Campus in excel. ◦ Recalculate using the Excel Median function tool. ◦ Principal can enter adjusted rating in EDS. 19 ONGL-12/15/14
