Attendance was part of Opportunity and Access, which has been renamed as Quality of School Climate and Safety.

I have a question about growth and the future growth projection. How is that determined/ calculated? I also thought I heard someone say that it is not a prediction…how is it not a prediction?

The new growth calculation omits the projection component and looks only at growth from one year to the next using NAPD categories. Points will be awarded as displayed in the attached table. This means there is no black box calculation as before which awarded points based on a student’s expected performance.

Another question. When looking at the EOC requirements on the KDE page, it says that it is live for those on the early graduation pathway. What will we be doing for our current English II classes? Is there an EOC for this year?
1 Comment-
EOCs will no longer be given with the exception of early graduates. 11th grade students will take an operation Science and OnDemand Writing assessment as well as the ACT. 10th grade will be given a field test in Math and Reading. The 11th grade KPREP and 10th grade field test will be on-line.
