Accountability

Public Holler 2 months, 2 weeks ago

Accountability has become a very complex system that is wide in scope and packed with difficult details. This Holler is for you to pose questions, provide answers, and work collaboratively with others to better understand our evolving school accountability in ways that can serve our students best.

    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?

    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?

    I 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]

    I 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?

    • Profile picture of Johnny Belcher
      Johnny Belcher replied 3 months, 2 weeks ago

      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…

    Can we post questions here? I had a question about students who score distinguished? If they score distinguished one year and then the next how do they show growth?

    • Profile picture of Johnny Belcher
      Johnny Belcher replied 4 months, 2 weeks ago

      Absolutely can post questions, in fact one of the main purposes for this collaboration holler.

      Growth has been a controversial accountability component and will likely always be included due to the value we place on students not only reaching proficiency, but their demonstration of improvement. The difficulty comes because we cannot compare a…

        I knew growth of students who are meeting the expectations depended on a type of formula. I had never seen the chart or heard the full explanation. This is great information! Thank you!

          Scoring distinguished year 1 to distinguished year 2 still shows growth. However what if the actual score of the individual child decreases but it is still under the range of distinguished, is that still growth?
