• Must focus on measurable indicator(s)

• 2nd State to pilot plan

NM’s RDA Plan • Stakeholder Meeting

2011 o Focus on state efforts o Elementary-level reading o Overall school improvements

(school grades) o Lowest quartile (students with

disabilities, low socio-economic status, Native American students)

RDA • NM’s plan

o Supports A-F school grading

o Focuses on reading growth rates especially in grades K-3

o Supports Reads to Lead o Math and positive

behavioral interventions and supports

o Includes parent involvement and funding for parent centers for parent training

o Title I and Special Education Collaboration

o Shared FTE o IDEA B State Directed

Activities funds o Fiscal plan – support RDA

activities o REC Support o IDEA Advisory Panel

RDA Cont’d • Site Selection and

Consideration o C, D or F school grade o Quartile 1 Grade o High % spec. ed.

enrollment o School-wide Title I o Elementary Schools o 50% sites high Native

American population

“It’s Official” RDA Next Steps

RDA or SSIP • Student oriented • 5 year plan (2014/15-

2018/19) • Does not have to be

state-wide • Includes scale up • Must relate to other

indicators o Reading Proficiency – direct o Disproportionate

Representation – direct o Other indirect indicators

RDA Data Analysis • State Reading

Assessment • NAEP • NMSBA & PARCC • Graduation Rates • Drop-out Rates • Suspension/Expulsion • Disproportionality • State Demographics,

including poverty

Reading Proficiency

through Early Reading Initiative

Increased Graduation Rates

Decreased Drop Out Rates

Decreased Discipline Infractions

Decreased Inappropriate

Referrals

Improved School Grade

Improved Q1 grade

RDA in the Title I Bureau • RDA is housed in the Title I bureau of PED, funded

through special education (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act – IDEA Part B and D)

• In-kind support Title I staff and combined FTE • At risk students and students with disabilities tend to

score in the lowest quartile (the lowest 25%) • Focus is on lowest quartile, but important to support

entire school improvement o Most students with disabilities spend most of their time in general

education classrooms

Results Driven Accountability Interventions

Desk-top Monitoring

State-identified Measurable Result(s) (SIMR) for Children with Disabilities

19

A description of the result(s) the State intends to achieve through the implementation of the SSIP. The State-identified result(s) must be aligned to an SPP/APR indicator or a component of an SPP/APR indicator. The State-identified result(s) must be clearly based on the Data and State Infrastructure Analyses and must be a child-level outcome in contrast to a process outcome. The State may select a single result (e.g., increasing the graduation rate for children with disabilities) or a cluster of related results (e.g., increasing the graduation rate and decreasing the dropout rate for children with disabilities).

FFY 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Target 39.8 41.8 43.8 45.8 47.8

New Mexico’s State Identified Measurable Result (SIMR) is: By federal fiscal year (FFY) 2018, 47.8% of students with disabilities in Results Driven Accountability schools will score benchmark on the End of Year DIBELS-Next Composite. Baseline data and targets are measurable and rigorous Baseline data from 2013 indicate that 37.8% of students with disabilities in Results Driven Accountability (RDA) schools scored benchmark on the End of Year DIBELS-Next Composite. Reaching the 2018 goal of 47.8% represents a 26% increase in achievement from the baseline data, collected in FFY 2013. FFY 2013 – FFY 2018 Targets
