CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Jack O’Connell, State Superintendent of Public Instruction
California and Federal Accountability Systems
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• Two systems that convert test results into different measures of academic performance
– California measure: the Academic Performance Index (API) looks at growth in school performance – Federal measure: Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) looks at the percentage of students proficient or above
2
Accountability Progress Reporting System
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• Integrated system of reporting results for state and federal accountability requirements
• Includes
– – – – Base API Report Growth API Report AYP Report Program Improvement (PI) Status
3
Accountability Progress Reporting System
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• Provides data for
– State – Local educational agencies (LEAs are school districts and county offices of education) – Schools (including charter schools) – Numerically significant subgroups
4
Numerically Significant Subgroups
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• Defined in the same manner for both the state and federal accountability systems
• Definition
– 100 students or more OR – 50 students that make up at least 15 percent of the total number of students tested
5
Numerically Significant Subgroups
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• Participation rate
– Based on enrollment on the first day of testing
• Percent proficient
– Based on the number of valid test scores
• Schools or LEAs with fewer than 100 students will not have any numerically significant subgroups
6
Numerically Significant Subgroups
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• All major racial/ethnic groups
• Socioeconomically disadvantaged
– Defined as participating in the Free or Reduced Price Lunch Program or neither parent has a high school diploma
• English Learners (ELs) • Students with Disabilities (SWDs)
7
English Learners
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• A student who is marked as EL on the Student Answer Document
OR • A reclassified fluent-English-proficient (RFEP) student who has not scored proficient or above on the California Standards Test (CST) in English language arts (ELA) for three years after being reclassified
8
Students With Disabilities
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• A student who receives special education services and has a valid disability code OR • A student who was previously identified as special education, but who is no longer receiving special education services for up to two years after exiting
– These students will not count in determining whether or not the group is numerically significant

State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Academic Performance Index (API)
10
What Is the API?
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• Created by the Public Schools Accountability Act (PSAA) of 1999 • Single number ranges from 200 - 1000 • Based on student performance on statewide assessments across multiple subject areas
11
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
The API is a good measure of individual student growth from year to year.
False
12
What Is the API?
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• Cross-sectional look at student achievement - does not track individual student progress
• Based on the performance of the students at the school who were enrolled for a “full academic year” • The API from one year is compared to the API from the prior year to measure growth
13
API Reporting Cycle
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• Each year’s testing results in a
– Base API – Growth API
• 2008 test results will be used to calculate
– 2008 Growth (compared to 2007 Base) – 2008 Base (compared to 2009 Growth)
14

API Reporting Cycle
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• New tests are added or new weights are given to the tests with the Base API
• Within one reporting cycle, the Base and Growth APIs must have the same tests with the same weights – only valid way to compare results
16
API Reporting Cycle
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
2007 Base API
Schoolwide/Subgroup APIs STAR Indicators • CAT/6 NRT (gr. 3 & 7) • CSTs: ELA, math, science (5, 8-11), historysocial science (8-11) • CAPA • CAHSEE (10-12) Statewide Rank Similar Schools Rank
2008 Growth API
Schoolwide/Subgroup APIs STAR Indicators • CAT/6 NRT (gr. 3 & 7) • CSTs: ELA, math, science (5, 8-11), history-social science (8-11) • CAPA • CAHSEE (10-12)
Same indicators for base and growth
17
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
The only valid API comparison is between one year’s Growth API and the prior year’s Base API.
True
18
API Comparisons
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• Inappropriate Comparisons
– 2005 Base API and 2006 Base API – 2006 Base API and 2006 Growth API – 2003 Base API and 2008 Growth API
• Appropriate Comparisons
– 2007 Base API and 2008 Growth API – Actual API growth from 2006-07 and actual API growth from 2007-08
19
What Assessments Are Used in the API?
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• California Standards Tests (CSTs)
– – – – English-language arts (grades 2-11) Mathematics (grades 2-11) Science (grades 5, 8-11) History/Social Science (grades 8-11)
• California Achievement Test (CAT/6)
– Nationally normed test (grades 3 and 7) – Reading, language, spelling, mathematics
20
What Assessments Are Used in the API?
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE)
– English-language arts and mathematics – Grades 10-12
• California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA)
– – – – Alternate assessment for the CSTs For the most cognitively disabled English-language arts and mathematics Grades 2-11
21
How to Calculate the API: The Simple Version
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
1. Convert each test result into a score on the API scale (200 to 1000)
Advanced Proficient Basic Below Basic Far below Basic = 1000 points = 875 points = 700 points = 500 points = 200 points
2. Calculate a weighted average of the scores

– Establishes a ranking of schools from highest to lowest by school type
• Similar School Rank
– Compares a school to 100 other schools that are similar on key variables
30
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
The best way to improve my API rank is to plant flowers on campus.
False
31
Statewide Rank
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• Ranks are established by deciles
• Range from 1 to 10
– 1 is low – 10 is high
• Ranks improve when the API score increases • Dependent upon API increases of other schools statewide
32
Statewide Rank
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
1. Rank API scores from highest to lowest separately by school type
2. Divide the distribution into 10 equal ranks (i.e., deciles)
33
Similar Schools Rank
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• Compares a school to 100 similar
schools
• Rank 1 means the school
performed below at least 90 of its 100 similar schools
• Rank 10 means the school
performed above at least 90 of its 100 similar schools
34
Similar Schools Ranks
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
1. Calculate a School Characteristics Index (SCI) for each school based on more than 20 variables such as:
• • • • • • • • Mobility Ethnicity Percent of teachers who are fully credentialed Percent of teachers that hold emergency credentials Percent of English learners Average class size per grade level Percent of GATE students Percent of migrant students 35
Similar Schools Ranks
(continued)
JACK O’CONNELL

Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program and AYP results for high schools are identical.
False
61
Which Assessments Are Used for AYP?
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Participation rate and percent proficient calculations based on: • Elementary and Middle Schools
– CSTs – CAPA
• High Schools (grade 10 only)
– CAHSEE – CAPA
62
Which Assessments Are Used for AYP?
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• High schools
– Based only on Grade 10 CAHSEE results – Student enrollment and performance will differ if you compare STAR, API, and AYP results
63
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
A school, LEA, or subgroup can make AYP even if performance is below the target.
True
64
Alternative Methods to Make AYP
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• More than 10 other ways to make AYP • Common Methods
– – – – Two or three-year average County and district average graduation rate Adjustment for students with disabilities Safe harbor
65
Adjustment for Students with Disabilities
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
For 2007 • If a school or LEA missed AYP solely because the SWD group missed the AMO in mathematics, the school or LEA had 20 percent added to the AMO in mathematics. The 20 percent adjustment did not apply to ELA in the August 2007 release of AYP.
66
Adjustment for SWD
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
New for 2008 • The CDE does not have an approved assessment system. As a result, the 20 percent adjustment rule cannot be applied to mathematics or ELA in the 2008 release of AYP.
67
SWD Future Issues
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
• The California Modified Assessment (CMA) was available to students in grades 3-5
(http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/participcriteria.asp)
• Grades 6-8 ELA, grades 6-7 math, and grade 8 science will be field tested in fall 2008 and operational in spring 2009
68
Safe Harbor What Is It?
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Alternate method of making the AMOs without meeting the established statewide targets if an LEA, school, or subgroup shows significant growth over the prior year
69
Safe Harbor Goal
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
An LEA, school, or subgroup must show a decrease in the percentage of students below proficient by 10 percent over the prior year to qualify for safe harbor Please note: Safe harbor includes a confidence interval that is calculated and applied by CDE which is based on the number of valid test scores
70
Safe Harbor
Simple Example
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Step 1
Determine percentage of students scoring below proficient in 2007
Step 2
Step 3 Step 4
Calculate safe harbor goal
Determine percentage of students scoring below proficient in 2008 Compare results of Step 3 to results of Step 2
71
Safe Harbor
Simple Example
JACK O’CONNELL
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Step 1: 2007 Proficient = 12% Below Proficient = 88%
Step 2: Safe Harbor Goal
10% of 88% = 8.8 12% + 8.8% = 20.8%
Step 3: 2008 Proficient = 21.4% Below Proficient = 78.6%
School makes AYP via safe harbor because 21.4% is greater than 20.8%
