3. 1.Review the OSPI SGP Website 2.Open your school’s CEE Median Student Growth Analysis – Section 2 3.Open your Student and School Success Action-Planning Handbook: Data Reflection Protocol – State Assessments (Appendix B.4) Before We Begin You will use these during this short presentation.

4. Data Reflection Protocol

5.  Understanding Median Student Growth Analysis  What the data can tell us and questions to consider  Next Steps with your teams  Contact Information “Pause and reflect”: When you see these in the PPT, you can pause this presentation to reflect on what you see in your data! Bill Wagner / The Daily News Monticello “Success Night” Agenda Intended Audience: Superintendents, Principals, Leadership Teams, Success Coaches, and Educational Service District Leaders

6. Before beginning your review of these data, please reflect on your preliminary thoughts about students’ growth in your school. One or more of the following thought-starters may be helpful. – I assume… – I predict… – I wonder… – My questions/expectations are influenced by… See Appendix B.3 in the Action Planning Handbook, or, National School Reform Website at: http://www.nsrfharmony.org/free-resources/protocols/a-zhttp://www.nsrfharmony.org/free-resources/protocols/a-z Pause and Reflect #1

7. Action-Planning Process

8. Section 2 of the Student Performance data in the Comprehensive Data Package and Services Median Student Growth Analysis

9. Student Growth Percentile or SGP: Describes a student’s growth compared to other students with similar prior test scores (“academic peers”) – E.g. Student-A: SGP=64 and Student-B: SGP=37 Compared with students with similar past scores, Student-A grew more than 64% of the students in the state Compared with students with similar past scores, Student-B grew more than 37 percent of the students (or 63% of the students grew more than Student-B). Student Growth Percentile - Refresher

10. The Median (middle) of all students in your school at this grade level and content area Summarizes SGPs by district, school, grade level, etc. E.g. Consider a school with 7 students in a grade Median SGP - Refresher StudentSGP Student-A23 Student-B28 Student-C34 Student-D45 Student-E54 Student-F76 Student-G84 Median SGP for this school in this grade is 45. 3 students above and 3 students below

11. Each page contains 4 sets of charts All Students Students with Disabilities ELL Students Low Income Students Median Student Growth Analysis: Page Layout

12. Median SGP for School and District for 4 years – Shows your school and your district Percentage of students showing High, Typical, and Low Growth Median SGP Data Presented in 2 Ways

13. Data are missing for MSP, HSPE, and EOC if… – Number of students assessed is < 10 – Data are suppressed (“Enhanced Suppression”). In July 2014, OSPI implemented a process to suppress data in certain cases even if count is > 10 students. Schools participating in the Smarter Balanced Assessment pilot testing in spring of 2014 won’t have MSP data in Reading and Math for grades 3-8. “Missing data” in Charts

14. School’s data are missing for the entire subgroup; school probably has less than 10 students in each year. Missing Data Example - Missing Subgroup

15. Data are missing for 2011 and 2012 in the ELL group; school probably had less than 10 students in those years and population is now growing. Missing Data Example: Data for Some Years

16. Look at the top charts on each page of your report. Across the 4 years, do you see improvement? Declines in the data? Or are data staying flat? Are there differences between Reading and Math? What else do you need to know? Pause and Reflect #2

17. Strong (positive) improvement over time Interpretation Hint: Evidence of Improvement Increase in the percentage of students showing high growth Significant decrease in percentage of students showing low growth

18. Interpretation Hint: Evidence of Gap Closure ALL STUDENTS chart shows acceptable growth (around 50 median SGP) ELLs show strong improvement in growth; this implies significant gap closure since they show higher growth. All StudentsELLs

19. Look within each page of your report. What evidence do you see of gaps closing in your school? What else do you need to know? Pause and Reflect #3

20. Triangulation Section 1: Proficiency Are students getting to proficiency? Are we shrinking the percentage at Level-1? Section 2: Growth Are students growing? Are ELL, SWD, or Low- income subgroups catching up? Section 3: ELL Are ELLs reaching English proficiency? What do we see with Former-ELLs?
