4. 3 COMPONENTS OF READY ACCOUNTABILITY
Performance Indicators
Percentage of scores that either meet:
College and Career-Readiness (CCR) – Achievement Levels 4 and 5
Grade Level Proficiency (GLP) – Achievement Levels 3, 4 and 5
AMO Targets
AMO targets in the school year required 95% participation of every subgroup on every test
Growth Indicators
An indication of the rate at which students in the school learned over the past year. The standard is roughly equivalent to a year’s worth of growth for a year of instruction. Defined as:
Exceeded Expected Growth
Met Expected Growth
Did not Meet Expected Growth

Achievement – 80%; EVAAS school-wide growth – 20%
NEW in 2015: adds a ‘+’ to A schools who have achievement gaps smaller than the state average
WS/FCS Method:
Adds a ‘+’ to schools with 85% EDS or higher
Increases by one letter grade if the school met or exceeded EVAAS school-wide growth

21. GAPS – Percentages by Schools
QUESTION #1: To what extent do you think individual schools have gaps, even when considering economics?
QUESTION #2: Even when considering economics, what percentage of our schools still have 1 or more large race- ethnicity/gender gaps?

22. Summer School Results 774 3rd grade students attended summer school
157 3rd grade students met the Read to Achieve requirements
- 98 students scored a 3 or higher on the Read to Achieve test
- 59 students scored a level 725 on the I-Ready assessment
Using i-Ready pre and post diagnostic for 3rd grade
- Average literacy growth was 43% of a school year.  
- 3rd graders grew nearly half a year in literacy in only 16 days (14 if you take out the testing days).  

23. How do we respond to this data?
We have communicated to schools that it is imperative to:
1.) Have a Balanced Literacy approach to reading instruction
2.) Utilize Professional Learning Teams
3.) Create quality School Improvement Plans
4.) Create Discipline Goals
5.) Create Gap Goals
6.) Implement MTSS
