Background Information
Michigan applied and was approved for ESEA flexibility for 2012-13 school year and onward. MDE worked extensively with stakeholder groups and negotiations with USED to determine necessary changes and a new direction for Michigans School Report Cards. The preliminary and public accountability results for the 201213 school year will look and feel brand new but have familiar pieces and parts. The new report cards will be known as the: Michigan School Accountability Scorecards
Logistics
Preliminary Scorecards for 2012-13 will reside on the newlyredesigned BAA Secure Site (set to launch July 2013).
Users will have to be authorized and login to the site using their MEIS account. Permissions to view the report cards will be handled in the district. Any appeals to the preliminary scorecards will be handled through the new BAA Secure Site, similar to previous years.
Public Scorecards will reside on MISchoolData.org with the other accountability designation results such as the Top-toBottom Rankings.
Overview
Two levels of Accountability Scorecards:
District Scorecards & School Scorecards
Scorecards will use a color coding system (green, lime, yellow, orange, and red) to indicate school performance.
Combines traditional accountability metrics with Top-toBottom labels and other state/federal requirements.
Overall color is determined by Top to Bottom status as well as points earned by meeting traditional AYP requirements.
Individual cells use red/yellow/green coding scheme Points-based system where full points earned for meeting a target, half points earned for meeting safe harbor
Color-Coded Scorecards
Colors are given to schools and districts for each scorecard component and an overall color. Overall status color is determined using a point-based system from the number of target areas the school/district has met and the school ranking.
*These may not be the exact shades utilized in the final scorecard product (still under development).
What Changed?
Additional subgroup: Bottom 30% Safe Harbor based on 80th percentile of statewide proficiency Use school/district Attendance target of 90% improvement slope to (only for school, no subgroups) determine met/not met
Differentiated proficiency Inclusion of Educator targets Effectiveness label reporting Based on a schools past and TSDL completion in performance Scorecards Goal of 85% proficient at end of 2021-22 Inclusion of Compliance Factors Targets increase in 10 (SIP & SPR) equal increments
Most of the nuts and bolts of AYP have remained the same!
Graduation requirement = 80% for school/district overall and all valid subgroups
Four, five, and six-year rates
Participation
95% of students are still required to be tested to meet the assessment participation target for the scorecard.
If student group size is 30-39, target is no more than two nonparticipants (this makes it so that a single student cannot result in not meeting the target participation rate).
If the All Students group does not have at least 30 students in one test cycle, a participation average will be calculated using up to three years of data in order to accumulate at least 30 students
Multi-year averaging used help meet the participation req.
Participation Target
Two options for school/district color status for this target area.
These colors are given ONLY on the participation target portion of the scorecard. This does not change your entire school/district status, however, it can impact your overall color.
Proficiency Targets
Targets are based on 2011-12 proficiency rates: (85 current percent proficient) / 10 = annual increment Increments do not reset Proficiency targets are set using PLs 1 & 2 only (not Provisional or Growth Proficient) Provisional and/or Growth Proficient will help you meet targets
All assessed content areas will have cells (Reading, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies)
Only FAY students can count toward a school or districts proficiency rates for accountability purposes.
2% MEAP-Access
2% Automatic Cap
Graduation Rates
3 Possible colors to receive for this target area:
If a school/subgroup has a graduation rate of at least 80%, it will receive a green cell (2 points).
If it makes the graduation rate improvement target, it will receive a yellow cell (1 point). If it misses both the rate and the improvement target, they will receive a red cell (0 points). Audit: * A school/districts overall status color is automatically yellow if it has a red for the All Students group for this target.
Attendance Rates
3 Possible colors to receive for this target area: If a school meets the attendance target, it will receive a green cell (2 points) for attendance rate. If a school meets the attendance improvement target, it will receive a yellow cell (1 point). If it misses the attendance target, they will receive a red cell (0 points). Audit: *A school/district receiving a red indicator for attendance cannot have an overall color ranking better than yellow.
If a school completes all of its required reports it will receive a green cell for the Compliance Factors. If a school does not complete its required reports, it will receive a red cell for Compliance Factors.
2 Possible colors to receive for this target:
Those with completed reports receive a green cell. Those with incomplete reports receive a red cell.
