ANNUAL MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES (AMOS)

No more AYP targets – now considering AMOs

Refer to: http://dpi.wi.gov/oea/amo.html

6

ANNUAL MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES

AMOs for graduation rates – goal of 85%

Title I Priority and Focus Schools – exit criteria Title I Priority – lowest achievement, required

reforms Title I Focus – low subgroups, reform choices

District AMOs At least one level (HS, MS, ES) “meets

expectations” No schools in “fails to meet expectations” District Report Cards next year

15

FOUR PRIORITY AREAS

Student Achievement

Student Growth

Closing Gaps

On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness

16

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

See the Technical Report Card p. 2 – handout1) Multiply # of students by multiplier2) Divide by average attendance3) Weight each year4) Scale of 50

17

STUDENT GROWTH

See the Technical Report Card p. 4 – handout1) Points for growth trajectory2) Points off for decline trajectory3) Complex calculations (“black box”)4) Scale of 50

18

CLOSING GAPS

See the Technical Report Card p. 6 (or 7)1) Find the change in subgroups scores2) Divide by 50, find average change3) Penalty if comparison group declines4) Scale of 50

19

CLOSING GAPS – GRADUATION (HS)

o Same procedure – using graduation rateso Worth 50 points, achievement worth 25

each

20

ON-TRACK AND POSTSECONDARY READINESS

See the Technical Report Card p. 8Combine: Graduation or attendance rate

3rd grade reading/8th grade math

ACT participation/performance
