Using Student Growth Percentiles (Option A)

Warm Up

The median is the middle number in a sequence of numbers

On your table is a ½ sheet of paper that lists the heights of students in a teacher’s class

Write the students’ heights in order from shortest to tallest

Identify the median height and circle it

Outcomes for Today

Understand Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) and their relationship to Median Student Growth Percentiles (MSGPs)

Role of Student Growth Percentiles on goal setting and summative evaluation

ESEA Waiver Requirement

Teachers in tested grades and subjects (Grades 4-8 ELA/Math) and principals must use state assessments as one measure of student learning and growth (SLG) in their evaluation

Oregon educators set two SLG goals annually; Category 1 goals are measured by state assessment; Category 2 goals are measured by other assessments

Teachers in tested grades

and subjects & Principals

Category 1 SLG goal

Category 2 SLG goal

Teachers in non-tested grades and

subjects

Category 2 SLG goal

Category 2 SLG goal

ELA/MathGrades 4-8

ESEA Waiver Update

Oregon’s waiver approved for 3 years with conditions removed

All districts must use Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) to meet the state assessment requirement for SLG goals

For evaluation purposes statewide assessments will only be used as a measure of SLG goal attainment for those grades that have baseline data Tested grades and subjects are now ELA and

Math 4-8

Request to USED for 2015-16

ODE has requested a modification to the waiver Districts required to provide SGP

training to staff SGPs will not be incorporated into

educator summative evaluations for SY 2015-2016

For 2015-16 ODE recommends that all educators set two goals that use Category 2 measures

2016-17 AND BEYOND

Student Growth Percentiles

What is a Student Growth Percentile?

Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) measure growth for individual students by comparing the improvement in an individual student’s achievement on Smarter Balanced to that of his or her “academic peers” (i.e. those who have similar historical assessment results).

What is a Median Student Growth Percentile?

Median Student Growth Percentile (MSGP) represents the exact middle of the Student Growth Percentile scores for an educator’s students. In other words, half of the educator’s students performed above the median score and half of the students performed below.

Impact of Attendance

Districts must use the state’s definition of “full academic year” when including students on rosters“…consecutive enrollment in a school or district for more than one-half of the instructional days prior to the first school day in May”

Impact of Class Size on SGPs

Districts are required to use Median Student Growth Percentiles for educators who have at least 20 students

Teachers and principals in grades 4-8 (ELA and math only) who fall below 20 students must use other measures that are valid, reliable, and comparable across the school or district (Category 2 measures)

Eventually student SGPs will be pooled across years to create rosters and MSGPs for all educators

The Median Student Growth Percentile (SGP) determines the educator’s Category 1 SLG Rating

X-Axis = SLG Rating

• SLG performance level based on two goals

• Two-year cycle select two of four goals

• Score SLG goals• Get a rating between 1 and 4;• Use X-Axis thresholds to

determine SLG level: 4 = both goals 4s 3 = both goals 3s; one goal 3 &

one goal 4; one goal 2 & one 4

2 = both goals 2s; one goal 2 & one 3; one goal 1 & one 3; one goal 4 & one 1

1= both goals 1s; one goal 1 & one 2

X-Axis Rating = Level 3 SLG Rating

Y-Axis = PP/PR Rating Add up all component scores

for total points possible; Divide by number of

components in your rubric; Get a rating between 1 and 4; Use Y-Axis threshold to

determine PP/PR level: 3.6 - 4.0 = 4 2.81-3.59 =3 1.99 – 2.8 = 2 * < 1.99 = 1

*PP/PR Scoring Rule: If the educator scores two 1’s in any PP/PR component and his/her average score falls between 1.99-2.499, the educator’s performance level cannot be rated above a 1.

Special Education/ Interventionists

SGPs only apply to teachers who are the primary providers of instruction

Only the SGPs of students who take the statewide assessment (Smarter) in ELA or math are used in identifying an educator’s MSGP

Teachers for whom the majority of students take the Extended Assessment (EA) write a goal using the EA as the measure and score it using the statewide rubric

Things to Keep in Mind…

Teachers on a two year cycle MAY select two of the four goals from the cycle

Educators in tested grades and subjects must use one Category 1 goal rating in summative evaluation (Matrix)
