CoordinatorAccountability Region 4
To introduce and discuss changes in Accountability and Testing for 2013-14 and beyond
Objective
NC has always historically had 4 achievement levels Levels 1 and 2 were considered not
proficient, 3 ad 4 were proficient Testing is not an exact science
Students can score higher or lower on the same test if taken on another day (Standard Error of Measure, SEM)
When student level accountability (promotion standards) was tied to achievement levels, 1 SEM was used for the students’ benefit
Achievement Levels
With Read to Achieve (RtA) student level accountability is back (for 3rd Grade) However law specifically states
“proficiency in reading” Created new Level 3 from scale scores
within 1 SEM of old Level 3, the level is “Proficient” Old Levels 3 & 4 are now Levels 4 & 5, not
only proficient but “College and Career Ready” (ESEA Waiver)
Remaining old Level 2 is new Level 2 and Level 1 is still Level 1, both are still Not Proficient (Math)
Achievement Levels
Proficiency Levels (3,4, &5) used for: RtA Reading Proficiency School Performance Composite School Performance Grade
College and Career Readiness Levels (4&5) used for: AMO Performance Targets State Performance Targets
Cut scores for the new achievement levels can be found at http://www.ncpublicschools.org/accountability/testing/shared/achievelevel/
Achievement Levels
Legislative Requirement Beginning of Grade 3 (BOG3) administered
for baseline results Students who scored a 439 or higher on
the BOG3 are considered proficient in reading Met RtA criteria for promotion Will count as proficient in Accountability
calculations for the school (still must take the Grade 3 ELA EOG)
Read to Achieve (RtA)
Local RtA alternative assessment LEA chooses test and proficiency criteria Local BoE declares it as valid and reliable Students who meet criteria are considered
proficient in reading for RtA purposes (but not Accountability)
Grade 3 ELA EOG Students who score a 439 (Level 3) or higher are
considered proficient Met RtA criteria for promotion Count as proficient in Accountability calculations
RtA
Students who meet the following criteria are not required to take any other tests for RtA purposes: Scored a 439 or higher on either the BOG3 or Grade
3 ELA EOG Scored at least the locally established proficiency
level on the local RtA alternative assessment LEP with <2 years instruction in an ESL program Assessed with either the NCEXTEND2 or
NCEXTEND1 alternate assessment Successfully completed a SBE approved portfolio Previously retained more than once in K, 1st, 2nd , or
3rd grades
RtA
LEAs can choose which test to administer to students who still have not demonstrated reading proficiency, either the State RtA Alternative Assessment OR Grade 3 ELA EOG Retest
Parents may request for student to not participate in any more testing Student automatically attends summer reading
camp
RtA
State RtA Alternative Assessment A form of the Grade 3 ELA EOG Passages are chunked Assesses the same standards as the
Grade 3 ELA EOG Assessment may be easier to take
although content is the same Grade 3 ELA EOG Retest
Administer another form (different color) of the ELA EOG
RtA
Immediate results available whichever assessment is given
Level 3 or higher required to show proficiency for RtA
Results from either test are NOT used for school/LEA Accountability
RtA
LEA may decide to automatically administer the test not previously administered (EOG Retest or RtA State Alternative) to students who qualify OR may administer by parent request only This would be a third test administration All state test administrations MUST be in the
last 10 days of the school year Parents may again opt out of testing with the
acknowledgement that the student would automatically attend the summer reading camp
RtA
Students must score at least a Level 3 on whichever test is administered for the third administration to show proficiency for RtA
Results from the third administration are NOT used for school/LEA Accountability
Students who, after this third test administration, have not shown reading proficiency under RtA must attend a summer reading camp Parents may refuse to send students to summer
reading camp Student automatically acquires retention label
for 2014-15
RtA
Students may demonstrate reading proficiency at the end of the summer reading camp by Successfully completing a SBE approved portfolio
Can continue working on the one already started Scoring a level 3 or higher on the state RtA Alternative
Assessment Administered at the end of the summer camp
For more information on RtA policy please contact Abbey Whitford, Region 1 K-3 Literacy Consultant, at [email protected]
RtA
Legislative Requirement Last 5 days of the course for semester long
courses Last 10 days of the course/school year for
year long courses Exemption for students with Multiple Testing
Sessions over Multiple Days
Testing Windows
Legislative Requirement Guidance Counselors may not be in charge
of planning for testing 80% of a guidance counselor’s time must be
spent working directly with students Can be test administrators and help with
testing in other ways
School Test Coordinators
K-2 teachers participate in Roster Verification (3rd grade did this in 2012-13)
K-2 teachers’ growth based on Text Reading Comprehension (TRC) from Reading 3D Recommended that End of Year TRC
administrator not be teacher of record This can be waived for 2013-14
Best 2 out of 3 years for first Standard 6 status
Only Reading used at this time
Educator Effectiveness
Grade 3 teachers’ growth based on pre/post model BOG3 Grade 3 ELA EOG

session delayed reporting until no earlier than August 1, 2014

Additional Reporting
Growth will be reported for each school: exceeds, meets, or does not meet expected growth
A separate achievement score for math and reading will be reported for schools serving grades K-8
The report card for schools serving 3rd graders will contain information on the number and percentage of third graders who are retained or promoted based on reading performance
