Implications for AYP Reporting

New Iowa Assessments Implications for Determination of Proficiency • Background – Due to historical trend data available prior to NCLB, the state’s workbook application requested continued flexibility of administration dates (fall, midyear or spring) – The National Percentile Rank (NPR) metric allowed for a fixed cutscore while allowing for flexibility in administration dates 2011 by Iowa Testing Programs

New Iowa Assessments Implications for Determination of Proficiency • Assumptions for new forms – Schools will continue to administer their Iowa Assessments to meet their scheduling requirements and to retain their historical trend data (fall, midyear or spring) – New forms will be linked to previous forms and the equivalent of the 41 st NPR from the 2000 norms will be identified on the Form E scale – The expectations for proficiency remain the same from Forms A/B to Forms E/F – Interpretation information will be made available to schools to transition to new forms 2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
