MDE’s tools and reporting requirements are based on

the school improvement planning process…

& the School Improvement Framework is the foundation

Federal mandates require all schools receiving federal money

complete a comprehensive needs assessment.

MDE is deliberately aligning the state reporting requirements to

federal requirements.

Types of Data

Demographic Data: Describes our students, staff, district, and community

Achievement/Outcome Data: How our students perform academically on federal, state, and local assessments

Perception Data: Survey Data, Opinion

Process Data: Disciplinary Information, Policies and Procedures, School Process Rubrics

schools to identify the best practice processes that you may want to

Data for Student Success (Data 4SS)

“Focusing on building a culture of quality data through professional development and web based dynamic

inquiries for school improvement.”

28

Dynamic Inquiry Tool

Interactive inquiries that allow a user to drill down into their student data

Dynamic inquiries based on essential questions aligned with the school improvement process

29

Dynamic Inquiries Tell Us…• MEAP/MME Proficiency Inquiries

– “How did students perform over time on MEAP/MME tests by content area and strand?”

• Mi-Access Proficiency Inquiries– “How did students perform on Mi-Access by content area?”

• Students Near Proficiency– “Who are and what are the characteristics of students near proficiency?”

• Comparative Item Analysis– “How did students perform on a strand and item compared to the State?

• Cohort Proficiency– “How did students perform on MEAP this year compared to last year?”

• Student History– “What is the academic history of a specific student?”

• Administrative Data Quality– “How do we assure the data submitted by the district is accurate?”

• PA 25 – “Provides state data inquiries to assist schools in complying with PA25 requirements.”

• CNA – “Provides state data inquires to assist school with completing the CNA..”

What About Education YES!?

59

Accountability Components

• Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)–No Child Left Behind Act

• State Accreditation – Education YES!

–Michigan Revised School Code

60

Education YES! History

• Developed in 2002• Catch phrase: Yardstick for

Excellent Schools• Began as accreditation• NCLB/AYP information was

included

61

Accreditation in Statute• Annual Report• School Improvement Plan• Core Curriculum• Assessment of ELA/reading and

Math Grades 1-5• High School Courses• NAEP Participation (if selected)

62

Education YES!

Achievement Status

AchievementChange

Indicators

63

Education YES! is being somewhat revised this year

and substantially revised next year

64

Why Enhance the System?

• Current system shifted emphasis from Michigan requirements to federal requirements

• Grading system uses AYP status to lower accreditation status

• Accreditation and AYP are not aligned• Michigan’s current system needs additional

clarity, usefulness and credibility• Parents, educators and employers want and

deserve an understandable one-stop information system

65

Michigan Needs More than NCLB

• NCLB does not distinguish between schools making progress but missing one or two of the 40+ requirements -- and those not making progress and missing many or most

• Michigan’s Superintendent of Public Instruction needs a better way to identify schools that are in critical need of support and intervention

66

Process Used

• Stakeholder group was convened• Monthly meetings for one year• Recommendation made to

Superintendent (10/31/08)• Transparent system using

dashboard rather than one opaque grade

67

Michigan School Accreditation

• Recognizes academic progress in all core subjects

• Recognizes 5 and 6 year graduation rates as successes

• Allows schools to calculate their status

6804/24/23 68

Components of MI-SAS• Four components:

– Student Achievement

– Compliance with Michigan Statute

– Annual State Accreditation Status, and

– Additional School, District, Community and State Information.

69

Achievement: Proficiency

• Proficiency will be calculated only for those students attending the school for a full academic year (FAY)

• Grade 3-9 students will be assigned to the “feeder school” where they learned during the year prior to testing

70

Recommended Accreditation Elements

• Student Achievement• Proficiency on State Assessments• Performance Level Change (PLC)• Provisionally Proficient on MME

• Compliance• Appropriately Certificated Teacher Data• Graduation Rate• Published School Improvement Plan• Core Curriculum/Michigan Merit Curriculum Offered• Literacy and Math Tested in Grades 1-5• Published Annual School Report• Submitted 40 Performance Indicators

71

Achievement: Performance Level Change

• Performance Level Change can be calculated only where a Grade 3-8 student has been tested in consecutive years (ie, ELA and Math)

72

Student Achievement K-8• Aggregate all grades for the four core subjects:

ELA, Math, Social Studies, and Science

• For each subject, total • Students testing proficient but not

improving,• Students improving but not proficient, and,• Students who are BOTH proficient and

improving

• Figure the percentage of total tested

73

Student Achievement High School

• Aggregate the four core subjects: ELA, Math, Social Studies, and Science

• For each subject, total:– Number of students testing proficient, and– Number of students provisionally proficient

(within 2 standard errors of measurement)

• Figure the percentage of total tested.

74

Accreditation Status for All Schools

• School’s status depends on profile of 4 core subjects:

– One or more subjects lower than 35% proficient: UNACCREDITED

– Two or more subjects lower than 60% but not lower than 35% proficient: INTERIM

– All Others: ACCREDITED

75

Compliance Check• Seven requirements have “yes”/“no”

answers1) Are 100% of teachers appropriately certificated?2) Is the 6-year Graduation rate 80% or above?3) Is a School Improvement Plan published?4) Are required curricula offered?

Grade Level Content Expectations in grades K-8 Michigan Merit Curriculum in grades 9-12

5) Are Literacy and Math tested annually in grades 1-5?6) Is a fully compliant Annual Report published?7) Have the 40 Performance Indicators been submitted?

• Schools that answer “no” (to any question) in 2 consecutive years have their status dropped one level

Process to Adopt • Gathered input from constituencies during

2008-09:• SBE presentation and input

• Web-based public input

• Public hearings

• Legislative committees

• Using already-existing data, MDE could determine accreditation status.

84

• Plan was to implement for 2009-2010 school year

• Input resulted in 1 year delay so current system remains with reading scores used instead of ELA

–It receives Title I funds or not.

–The Standards it doesn’t meet are Federal or State.
