What this means for Future Administration
• What happens to Online Writing?– Online writing will no longer be a stand alone
administration—folded into end of year administration
What this means for Future Administration
• How will we assess science & social studies?– At this point, we will continue to administer the
current science and social studies assessments, but will be actively developing new items to refresh the assessment

their own individual targets? • Goals:

A Shift in Accountability
Foundational Principles
• Underlying Beliefs– All students can learn– School conditions support student success– You measure what you value and value what
you measure– Simplicity in the system prompts engagement
Foundational Principles
• Guiding Principles– Describe school performance clearly and simply– Establish high expectations for all students and
schools– Direct support and recognition– Emphasize student proficiency and
improvement– Integrate accountability and accreditation
Foundational Principles
• Grading Components– Achievement: At least proficiency in Math and R/LA– Student growth: This includes how much students
are growing and how much students are on track to be proficient.
– Performance of Lowest 25%: Performance of lowest 25% of students
– Graduation rates for high schools: High schools will be awarded points based on each school’s four-year and five-year graduation rates
