Use if no PED-Developed EoC for the course
Made available statewide once approved, or PED may use items to create new forms.
Quality Criteria on PED Website
District-Developed EoCsRequired with Submission:
• Test• Blueprint (item type by standard and DOK level)• Alignment Analysis• Answer Keys/Rubrics• Quality Review panel results• Bias Review panel results• Translations (if necessary)• Reliability Analysis plan• Release of Assessment
EoC Testing Protocol• EoCs are downloadable
from SOAP.
• Maintain test security!
• Do not maintain local digital copies.
• Retain paper copies in locked, secure storage.
EoCs for ELLs• PED provides Spanish versions of all ADC
EoCs including ELA III: Reading and ELA III: Writing.
• There is the option to translate into other native languages on the district level.
• The first three continuous years a student attends public school in the U.S., the student may take an EoC in his or her native language. For the following two continuous years, the student may test in his or her native language if he or she still qualifies for ELL status and has submitted a waiver. (Same policy as SBA.)
Spanish EoCsStudents may test in Spanish IF:
1. They are current ELL status in their first 3 years in U.S. schools.
2. They are current ELL status in their 4th or 5th year in U.S. schools and have filled out the EoC ELL Waiver.
3. They are taking the course in Spanish.

If EoCs are in the District/Charter Educator Effectiveness Plan:
• Group A: 15% EoCs for Other Measures of Student Achievement
• Group B: 35‒50% EoCs for Student Achievement Measures
15
If EoCs are in the District/Charter Educator Effectiveness Plan:
• Teacher with multiple preps?
• ONE EoC
• More data = better results
16
Growth Model
17
“Student Achievement Measures” based on growth model.
PED uses data of past student achievement to produce “projected score.”
Achievement compares “projected score” to actual student score.
Growth Model
18
If actual student scores are higher than projected student scores, teacher receives a high rating for Student Achievement Measures.
Model produces high correlation between predicted and actual scores.
19
EoCs
Correlation between predicted and actual EoC at the student level = .86
At the teacher level = .94
