Multiple Measures Recent Developments

Focus Groups provided a list of possible measures

KSDE collaborates with REL to modify list of measures - Collected

KSDE will identify a “default list” of measures – See Measures Chart

KSDE will identify a “default matrix” of significant – See Examples

KSDE Flexibility Waiver work

Multiple Measures Currently Used Examples

Use Multiple Measures including student growth as significant factor.

State Assessments must be used.

Other Default Measures May Include: Student Portfolio’s Common Assessments MAPS Lexile Reading Scores

Other Multiple Measures

The change in student achievement for an individual student between two points in time, determined using multiple measures

To include gains and progress toward post-secondary and workforce readiness

To include progress in academic and functional goals in an individualized education program or meeting academic student growth objectives

Grade Level Expectation

Assuming 85% of students exiting 4th grade accomplished 4th grade curriculum, the expectation would be at least the same amount of growth would occur by completion of the 5th grade, or on any given measure used.

Example: In a class of 24 students, 20 students would be above the Grade Level Expectation line by the end of the Academic Year.

24 x .85 = 20.2

This scenario would indicate significance. Reference: Blue Print for Reform

Suggestions for Using Multiple MeasuresNote: Multiple Measures are only part of the Educator Evaluation

After listening carefully to Pilot 2 feedback, the following upgrades were completed in the KEEP Repository in April 2013: EDCS - Evaluator and Observer assignment batch selection for evaluation roles Status Cycle options Beginning of Cycle Assessment Rubric The Evaluator role will have the ability to enter Observations Ability to edit and delete the Observations the user entered Summary Rating form available during the End-of-Cycle Conference Ability to unlock a Summary Rating during data entry period Ability to unlock Evaluator Conference signoffs Display Evaluator’s name and Evaluatee’s license expiration date Printer friendly format Add, delete and print buttons

Additional ideas for upgrades will be taken throughout the coming school year 2013-2014, during Pilot 3.
