What is Student Growth?
The change in student performance for an individual student
between two or more points in time


Three types of change over time:

No Change



Improvement



Student maintained expected growth from year to year
Student performed at the same level as the prior year
Student exceeded expected growth from year to year
Student’s performance increased from prior year
Decline


Student fell short of expected growth from year to year
Student’s performance declined from prior year
Measure:



MSA Performance Levels
Use MSA Performance Levels to create a standardized
score for each year the student tested
1. Advanced – highly challenging and exemplary level of
achievement indicating outstanding accomplishment
2. Proficient – realistic and rigorous level of achievement
indicating proficiency
3. Basic – Is a level of achievement indicating that more
work is needed to attain proficiency


Growth Scores
Each MSA Performance Level is divided into three
Performance Scores
Each Performance Scores corresponds to a range of MSA
Scale Scores
Use the MSA Score Matrix to determine the Performance

Determine upper levels of Basic and Proficient by subtracting 1 from the Cut
Score from the adjacent Performance Level

Establishing Targets for Growth

50% reduction in the percentage of students by 2017
demonstrating less than one year’s growth from the prior
year for the “all students” group

Baseline year growth percent is determined by the
change from SY2009-10 to SY2010-11
