Opportunity to Learn Survey
•For the first time, every student who took the NMSBA
completed the OTL survey.
•A survey consisting of 10 questions with variations for
elementary, middle and high school students.
•OTL Survey accounts for 5 points in elementary and
middle schools, 5 points in high school.
Strengthening of Accountability
• New Mexico’s A-F System was peer-reviewed by
the U.S. Department of Education and approved.
• In determining model type, educational
stakeholders (including more than 6 meetings
with NMCSA representatives) overwhelmingly
chose a more complete calculation model over a
simple, less informative one.
Strengthening of Accountability
• Before School Grades, many schools were not
held accountable by AYP for the achievement of
subgroups of students. For example:
– 260 schools were not held accountable for ELL
students.
– 100 schools were not held accountable for FRL
students.
– 436 schools were not held accountable for SWD
students.
• 20,400 more students are included in A-F grades.
What’s New?
• Key Changes in School Grading
– Calculation changes mandated by the federal
government in New Mexico’s NCLB waiver.
– Bonus points.
– Inaugural Opportunity to Learn (OTL) survey
completed by over 194,000 New Mexico
students.

New Mexico Standards Based Assessment
• Assessment standards are developed by New Mexico teachers and
content experts. Additionally, it is peer-reviewed by nationallyrecognized assessment experts.
• The NMSBA is designed to be the minimal length while still
providing reliable measurements of student performance.
-Since 2011, NMSBA testing time has been cut, on average, by 40%
in recognition of the requests and need for more classroom
instruction.
-Districts received NMSBA scores weeks earlier than in the past.
• According to Education Week’s Quality Counts (Jan. 2012), the
NMSBA received 92% (A-), which ranks it 15th in the nation against
other states’ assessments.
• The results from the NMSBA are used to meet federal school
accountability requirements and to calculate School Grades.
