1. Teacher SLTs 2015-2016

2. General Format for Teacher SLTs with a District-wide Common Assessment The percent of students scoring proficient 1 in my 8 th grade math classes 2 on the appropriate grade-level District-wide End of Year math assessment 3 will be at the District Average (DAVG) 4. 1 however proficient is defined: Basic or above, Good or Excellent, 80% or higher, etc.) 2 grade and subject you teach 3 whatever District-wide End of Year test is given for the grade and subject. See district chart for tentative list of assessments. This may change based on availability. 4 this will be determined at the end of the year – there will be variance by grade of school – see upcoming slide. ** This example is for a C School

3. Goal Differentiation Based on School Letter Grade School letter grade:Goal would be… A Schools20% higher than the district average* B Schools10% higher than the district average** C SchoolsDistrict Average D Schools10% lower than the district average * A schools will need to reach 100% proficient for the top range of Exceeding Expectations. **When the district average is greater than 70%, the top ranges will split the difference between that number and 100.

10. Ratings Charts based on the district average and school letter grade will be provided at the end of the year for purposes of scoring. This method allows us to use actual results and not base scoring on previous year’s results.

Sample End of Year Scoring Chart Sample Scoring Chart 3rd grade Math DAVG of Proficient on End of Year Test = 75% School Grade Insufficient Attainment(1 point) Partial Attainment (2 points) Full Attainment (3 points) Exceptional Attainment (4 points) A Below 79%79% - 94%95% - 99% 100% B Below 69%69% - 84%85% - 93%93% - 100% C Below 59%59% - 74%75% - 88%89% - 100% D Below 49%49% - 64%65% - 80%81% - 100% Calculator can be used at mid-year to monitor progress and get a number of students needed for each range.

12. Progress Monitoring When available, a district average of proficient will be provided to schools. This will allow teachers to monitor their current status in relation to the district average. After each Scantron Benchmark Test (K-12 ELA and math), there are reports available to the teacher where they can see the average score for their class, the school, and the district.

13. SLT Example without a District wide test or District Average available The percent of students scoring proficient 1 in my 8 th grade Physical Education class 2 on the end of year assessment 3 will be 80% 4. 80% of the students in my physical education class will score proficient on the end of the year assessment. 1 however proficient is defined: Basic or above, Good or Excellent, 80% or higher, etc.) 2 grade and subject you teach 3 Whatever end of year assessment is appropriate for the class. If there is a national, state college, certification or district test available, that test should be used. 4 General definition of proficiency. This may vary based on school letter grade, historical data, and baseline data. ** This example is for a C School

14. Below Proficient Goal 30% of students in my 8 th grade math classes 1 who scored below proficient 2 on the previous year's District-wide End of Year math assessment will improve at least one performance level 3 on the District-wide End of Year assessment. 1 The common grade and subject class that you teach. It should include all of the same classes that you teach. 2 However proficient is defined (Basic or above, Good and Excellent). 3 For example, from Approaching Basic to Basic, Unsatisfactory to Approaching Basic.

15. Below Proficient Goal Achievement Ranges Insufficient Attainment of Target (1 point) Partial Attainment of Target (2 points) Full Attainment of Target (3 points) Exceptional Attainment of Target (4 points) Achievement Range: Less than 15% improve a level. Achievement Range: 15% - 29.9% improve a level. Achievement Range: 30% - 45% improve a level. Achievement Range: More than 45% improve a level.

16. Sample K-8 Below Proficient Goal 30% of students in my 3 rd grade math class 1 who scored below proficient 2 on the previous year's district mathematics benchmark test will improve at least one performance level 3 on the 3rd grade mathematics End of Year District Benchmark Test. 1 The common grade and subject class that you teach. It should include all of the same classes that you teach. 2 However proficient is defined (Basic or above, Good and Excellent). 3 For example, from U to AB, AB to B.

17. Sample 9-12 Below Proficient Goal 30% of students in my English II class 1 who scored below proficient 2 on the previous year's English I End of Year benchmark test will improve at least one performance level 3 on the English II EOC. 1 The common grade and subject class that you teach. It should include all of the same classes that you teach. 2 However proficient is defined (Good and Excellent). 3 For example, from Poor to Fair, Fair to Good

18. Sample Below Proficient Goal 30% of the 11 th graders in my English III class 1 who scored below an 18 2 on the previous year's English portion of the Plan test will score and 18 or higher 3 on the English portion of the Spring 2015 ACT taken by 11 th graders.

19. Suggested Scale for other non-tested grades and subjects Percent of students who score “proficient” D or F schools: 70% C schools: 80% B schools: 90% A schools: 100% *based on the idea that A schools are expected to have 100% of their students proficient. Adjustments can be made based on academic and non- academic courses and baseline data. When there are no proficiency levels assigned, proficient will be defined as 80% or higher.
