Accountability 1 year, 1 month agoWe, as a school and our literacy team in particular, have been looking for the best way to keep student writing folders with writing samples. In the past there have been those paper folders that follow the student along and materials are added each year. This year we have tried to develop electronic writing folders that can also follow the student…[Read more]

Accountability 1 year, 1 month agoI think I heard that the TCT’s were no longer being required to send to the state?? Is this accurate?
-
Sorry for delay in reply. Yes, TCTs are no longer required for submission to the state, but the TCT bank is still available for use.
-
This is good to know. I still have my students’ work on file just in case though.

Accountability 1 year, 2 months agoIs a school’s attendance going to impact this year’s test scores? I remember hearing that average attendance would be taken into consideration when calculating performance.
-
Attendance was part of Opportunity and Access, which has been renamed as Quality of School Climate and Safety. Quality of School Climate and Safety is planned for 2019-2020, but we are unaware of what measures it will include. Attendance may be one of them, but the measures have not been determined at this time.

Accountability 1 year, 2 months agoMarch Madness Attendance Competition & Read Across America Week-
Love these ideas! Attendance is an area every school always tries to make a priority! If students aren’t at school learning cannot happen! Love the rewards too! Those are rewards that aren’t going to put a financial burden on the school.
-
Love when we can find ways to tie things like this to the classroom!
-
Love the ideas, it’s always hard to come up with new creative thing to keep student interested.

Accountability 1 year, 6 months agoI 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.

Accountability 1 year, 6 months agoAnother 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?
-
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.

Accountability 1 year, 6 months agoI have a couple questions about the ACT. Will both sophomores and juniors be taking the test for accountability this year? Our curriculum coordinator showed us something that indicated that, and when looking at the ACT page on KDE, it says that they’re looking for funding for the administration of the test to sophomores. I don’t remember that…[Read more]
-
So sorry for delay in response. Due to funding, the sophomore ACT will not be given this year. Only Juniors will take the ACT, which will count for accountability with Transition Readiness, Math and Reading. The 10th grade field test in Math and Reading will be given this year going operational next school year, which will be used for…[Read more]

Accountability 1 year, 7 months agoI was able to attend the Assessment and Accountability conference in Louisville and a there were a lot of questions about growth and how it will be calculated. They said they were meeting with a group of people to discuss growth. I was wondering if there were any proposed changes to the growth aspect of accountability?
-
What I have heard from the meeting is that Growth will be included still, but tweaks to how it is calculated may happen. Some question about whether growth points should be awarded if a student maintains or only if they improve. This committee will be meeting again to review possible models of change. More to come…
