 Educators want all children to succeed.

 Educators already work really hard.

But how do Educators

Achievement vs. Progress

End of School Year

Achievement vs. Progress Student Achievement: Where are we?

 Highly correlated with demographic factors

Student Progress: How far have we come?

 Highly dependent on what happens as a result of schooling rather than on demographic factors By concentrating on the

progress

students make, EVAAS puts the emphasis on something educators can influence.

In the Perfect World…

The Kindergarten of Eden

 Calculating Progress Measures would be easy  The 3 M’s would not exist  Measurement Error  Mobility  Missing Data

We live in the real world.

Statistics to the Rescue!

 EVAAS Analyses Save the Day!

 Minimize the effects of

measurement error

associated with any one test scores  Account for

mobility

of students  Compensate for

missing data How?

Statistical fairy dust

Not Really!

Don’t Tell the Statisticians I Said That!

 EVAAS uses advanced statistical methodologies  Univariate Response Modeling  These methodologies  Are regularly used in other fields  Have been proved reliable

The EVAAS Philosophy

The EVAAS Philosophy

  All students deserve opportunities to make appropriate academic progress every year.

There is no “one size fits all” way of educating students who enter a class at different levels of academic achievement.

 Adjustments to instruction should be based on the students’ academic needs, not on socio economic factors.

 "What teachers know and can do is the most important influence on what students learn." (National Commission on Teaching and America's Future, 1996)

Achievement and Poverty

How is this fair?

No one is doomed to failure.

Reflective Assessments: Value-Added Reports Reflective Assessments: Diagnostic Reports Proactive Assessments: Student Projections Teacher Reports - EVAAS Training - What Might Change

Student Projection Report

Let’s go to the reporting!

What are the Projections?

How Are Projections Used?

Weather Forecasts

What Are Projections Anyway?

Given a specific set of circumstances… …what’s the most likely outcome?

What Are Projections Anyway?

Given this student’s testing history, across subjects… …what is the student likely to score on an upcoming test, assuming the student has the average schooling experience?

Projections

We all set expectations

How do we set expectations in our daily lives?

 Information  What do we know about this student?

 Experience  How have students like this one performed in the past?

EVAAS Projections

What are they based on?

 Expectations based on what we know  About this student » Prior test scores (EOC/EOG), across subjects  About other students who have already taken this test » Their prior test scores, across subjects » Their scores on the test we’re projecting to

What’s the Value of the Projections?

Projections are NOT about predicting the future.

They ARE about assessing students’ academic needs TODAY.

Assessing Students’ Needs

 What are this student’s chances for success?

 What goals should we have for this student this year?

 What goals should we have for this student in future years?

What can I do to help this student get there?

Setting Goals and Raising Expectations

Proficient

the most appropriate goal for this student?

Projections Inform Your Actions Today

The meteorologist says there’s an 80% chance of rain tomorrow

What do you do?

Changing the Outcomes

Students’ academic outcomes are not like the weather

You have the power to change them!

Using Projections to Take Action

 Identify students who need to participate in an academic intervention  Assess the level of risk for students who may not reach the Proficient mark  Plan schedules and resources to ensure that you can meet students’ needs  Identify high-achievers who will need additional challenges  Assess the opportunities for high-achieving students who are at risk of not reaching Advanced  Inform course placement decisions 78
