Preparing College, Career & Culturally Ready Graduates
Overview of Accountability Components
• ASPI Alaska School Performance Index
• New Standards
• New Teacher Evaluation
• New Assessment-Smarter Balance
• New Early Literacy Screening Requirements
School designations are based on indicators calculated using data from the 2012-2013 school year.
Two designations will be assigned to each school:• ASPI score
• ASPI rating
School designations are based on indicators calculated using data from the 2012-2013 school year.
Accountability System based on two Prongs:
Alaska School Performance Index (ASPI) and
Annual Measureable Objective Targets
Schools receive a score based on performance on state
assessments in reading, writing and math; school progress on
state assessments, attendance rates, and, for schools with
high school, graduation rates, scores on college and career
readiness indicators such as ACT,SAT and WorkKeys, and
participation rates on WorkKeys assessment.
Components of ASPI
• Graduation Rate
• Collage and career ready indicators:
o Academic achievement (all schools)
o School progress (all schools)
o Attendance rate (all schools)
o Graduation rate (schools with 12th grade)
o WorkKeys/ACT/SAT scores (12th graders)
o WorkKeys participation rate (11th graders)
• Indicators weighed based on grade spans (K-8 and 9-12)
• Total points based on 100 point scale
Factors For K-8 Performance
• Count Proficient – Number of
students who were proficient in
reading, writing and math.
• Percent Proficient
• Achievement Score
• School Progress – Reviews test
scores over two consecutive years
to see growth
Appendix A: School Progress
• Alaska Native/American Indian
• Low Income
• Students with Disabilities
• English Language Learners
* A subgroup must have a minimum of 5 students assessed in
one or more subjects in order to be considered.
An index score is developed for the all students group
and up to 4 subgroups:
Index scores are weighed as follow:
• No eligible subgroups: All students = 100% or score
• One eligible subgroups: All students = 90% of score
• Two eligible subgroups: All students = 80% of score
• Three eligible subgroups: All students = 70% of score
• Four eligible subgroups: All students = 60% of score
Student performance is divided into 7 proficiency level categories.

Smarter Balanced Consortium & New Alaska Assessments
• What is the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium?
Smarter Balanced is a state-led consortium working
collaboratively to develop next-generation assessments
that accurately measure student progress toward college
and career readiness.
• When will the new assessments be in place?
Students will take the new assessments in spring 2015.
Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium
• Alaska schools will administer the summative assessment
at the end of the year during a testing window of 3~4
weeks.
• Grades 3-11 will participate in the computer-adaptive
summative assessment and the performance tasks in math
and English language arts. These tests are untimed.
• The estimated amount of time to complete the summative
assessment for both English language arts and math will
be: 7 hours in grades 3-5 7.5 hours in grades 6-8 8.5 hours in grades 9-11
System Components
FAQ - Smarter Balanced Consortium & New Alaska Assessments
• How is Smarter Balanced different from current assessment?
The Smarter Balanced assessments are aligned to the
Alaska English Language Arts and Mathematics standards
that Alaska adopted in 2012.
• What is a computer adaptive test?
Based on student responses, the computer program adjusts
the difficulty of questions throughout the assessment.
For example, a student who answers a question correctly
will receive a more challenging item, while an incorrect
answer generates an easier question.
• Smarter Balanced Assessment
Grades 3-11
Online adaptive, like MAPS
Practice tests available - grades 3-8 and 11 th grade Mathand English language arts.
Alaska expects a significant drop in the percentage of proficient students

delays
Early Literacy Screening Requirement2013/2014 and Beyond• What will YKSD use to screen? MAPS No more Aimsweb
• How are the assessments funded? Districts’ projected
allocation will be $7.74 per student based on the 2012
student count period enrollment
• all kindergarten, first, and second grade students

Educator Evaluation
• Teacher and Principal Evaluation

Overall Rating & Student Learning Data
• A district will evaluate whether an educator’s overall performance
is exemplary, proficient, basic, or unsatisfactory.
• A district shall include student learning data in teacher and
administrator’s overall rating according to the following
schedule:
o SY 2015‐16 & SY 2016‐17, at least 20% o SY 2017‐18 at least 35% o SY 2018‐19 and after, at least 50%
• A district may not give an educator an overall performance
rating of proficient or higher if the educator has been
evaluated to be performing at a level of basic or lower on
one or more of the content standards or other criteria for
which evaluation is required.
