Central Questions• Why has Indiana been reporting CCR indicators such
as AP, SAT/SAT, etc.? What has been your aspiration/goal for this reporting? Engender post-secondary success for ALL students
• What positive outcomes have you seen from this reporting, and what lessons have you learned along the way (particularly if you have made adjustments)? Setting and reporting on goals matters
• What plans do you have to adjust or expand upon this reporting and what is driving these plans? Made CCR part of Accountability and added IB, DC, & IC
Success Beyond High School
According to a recent study from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce:
“55 percent of Indiana’s jobs will require postsecondary education by 2018.”

Success Beyond High School
And according to the Lumina Foundation for Education:
“In 2010, only 33 percent of Hoosiers held at least a two-year degree.”

Success Beyond High School
College and career readiness measures are our strongest indicators of student post-secondary success:
- Pass an Advanced Placement (AP) exam- Pass an International Baccalaureate (IB)
exam- Earn college credit: liberal arts or CTE- Pass an industry certification exam
Indiana’s Three Goals (2009)
• 90 percent of students pass math and E/LA ISTEP+• 25 percent of grads pass an AP or IB exam or earn college credits during high school (updated)• 90 percent of students graduate with a diploma

Reporting Results MattersSample School Level Report Card
Setting Goals Matters
Since the establishment of the 25% goal by Dr. Bennett in 2009, Indiana schools have achieved:
(1) the highest increase in the nation in AP exam participation for graduates
(2) the second highest increase in the nation in AP exam passage for graduates

Celebrating Success Matters
Every year we hold a big party in downtown Indianapolis for our 25%+ achievers and our one-year and multiple-year highest growth achievers.
It is a highlight for many…
Celebrating Success Matters
New Accountability Metrics
A – F
Transparency&
Student Success
Goals of Updating Accountability
- Ensure EVERY student counts
- Generate dramatic closure of the achievement gap
- Provide transparent results
- Merge state and federal accountability
- Utilize new tools to provide a more robust system
- Engender post-secondary success for ALL students
- These goals address the limitations of the old model
A-F
The G.P.A. structure is aligned with:
90
- 25
- 90
Two New Models
•Elementary & Middle Schools–Performance & Growth
•High Schools–Performance & Improvement
Key Improvements from Old to New
• Simplifies designations awarded to schools (A-F)
• Incorporates Indiana Growth Model
– Focuses on ALL students, not just the “bubble kids”
• Adds a Bottom 25% subgroup
– Focuses on closing achievement gaps
• Includes College & Career Readiness
High School Model
• Weighted grades (points) are determined for:
– English 10 ECA Score x 30%
– Algebra I ECA Score x 30%
– Graduation Rate Score x 30%
– College and Career Readiness Score x 10%
• A final grade is determined by adding the four grades (points) together
Calculating Grades
High School Model
•College & Career Readiness (25)
Calculate the percentage of cohort graduates who:
– Pass an AP exam
– Pass an IB exam
– Earn College Credits (3): Liberal Arts or CTE
– Pass an Industry Certification exam
High School Model
• College & Career Readiness
UNDUPLICATED COUNT OF:
Grads who Passed an AP Exam( +
Grads who Passed an IB Exam
Grads who Received 3 College Credits

)Total Number of Graduates
High School Model
•College & Career Readiness
25.0 - 100% = 4.00 points
18.4 - 24.9% = 3.00 points11.7 - 18.3% = 2.00 points05.0 - 11.6% = 1.00 points
00.0 - 04.9% = 0.00 points
What’s My Grade?
IDOE developed a workbook with all of the proficiency measures and bonuses already incorporated which allows schools to simply input their achievement data and have their grade automatically calculated.

What does the Report Card look like?
IDOE worked with stakeholders to build sample report cards for both the Elementary/Middle and High School models.

What’s Working
- AP dramatic growth and success- IB dramatic growth- Dual Credit dramatic growth- Industry Certification growth- Accuracy of AP, IB and IC data- Inclusion of these CCR components into the
state’s new Accountability model
Challenges
- Dual Credit data submissions- Articulating the Priority Dual Credit courses
and the implementation thereof- Researching CCR student-level success in
Indiana higher education institutions
Solutions
- Immediate: data verification from the Commission for Higher Education
- Long term: data submission from the Commission for Higher Education
- Improved data system that facilitates improved research capabilities between agencies
