Our Vision Districts and schools in Tennessee will exemplify excellence and equity such that all students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to successfully embark upon their chosen path in life.
Tennessee’s ESSA plan reflects four key guiding principles and our theory of action. ▪ All schools should have be able to achieve a high score. – Poverty is not destiny. ▪ All means all. – Each indicator should be reported for historically underserved student groups. ▪ All growth should be rewarded. – Schools with low achievement but high growth will be recognized. – Incremental growth will be recognized. ▪ Reporting should be transparent. – Public should be able to access and review multiple indicators.
Most indicators consider the better score between absolute performance and performance improvement. ▪ Absolute performance is: – the percent of students that meet or exceed the standard (e.g., proficiency for achievement) ▪ Performance improvement is: – the school’s improvement relative to its target
For each indicator, schools will receive a numeric rating. ▪ Achievement indicator example: Points Absolute Performance AMO Targets One-year success rate equals or One-year success rate equals or exceeds 50 percent 4 exceeds double AMO target One-year success rate equals or One-year success rate exceeds AMO exceeds 45 percent and is less than target 3 50 percent One-year success rate equals or Upper bound of one-year success exceeds 35 percent and is less than rate confidence interval equals or 2 45 percent exceeds AMO target One-year success rate equals or Upper bound of one-year success exceeds 25 percent and is less than rate confidence interval exceeds prior 1 35 percent one-year success rate One-year success rate is less than Upper bound of one-year success 25 percent rate confidence interval is less than or 0 equal to prior one-year success rate
Poverty rates closely reflect absolute proficiency.
Poverty rates do not pre-determine indicator ratings.
School grades reflect minimum performance expectations and multiple indicators. Determine “F” Multiple Indicators Determine “A - D” Graded Schools: for determining Minimum Graded Schools other grades Performance Goal Achievement Success Rates All Students Grade AMO or Absolute Schools in bottom 5% on each indicator Growth TVAAS Safe Harbor Student Groups Grade Schools with Level 4 for each group on each Readiness indicator or 5 TVAAS Ready Graduates Overall Grade Graduation Rate Priority/Comprehen for All Students and sive Support Subgroups Chronically Out of School Overall School Overall School ELPA Grade = F Grade = A, B, C, or D ACCESS for ELs
Schools that fall into the bottom 5% based on absolute achievement AND that fail to demonstrate consistent, strong growth will receive an “F.” Determine “F” Multiple Indicators Determine “A - D” Graded Schools: for determining Minimum Graded Schools other grades Performance Goal Achievement Success Rates All Students Grade AMO or Absolute Schools in bottom 5% on each indicator Growth TVAAS Safe Harbor Student Groups Grade Schools with Level 4 for each group on each Readiness indicator or 5 TVAAS Ready Graduates Overall Grade Graduation Rate Priority/Comprehen- for All Students and sive Support Subgroups Chronically Out of School Overall School Overall School ELPA Grade = F Grade = A, B, C, or D ACCESS for ELs
Schools receive A-D grades based on six indicators. Determine “F” Multiple Indicators Determine “A - D” Graded Schools: for determining Minimum Graded Schools other grades Performance Goal Achievement Success Rates All Students Grade AMO or Absolute Schools in bottom 5% on each indicator Growth TVAAS Safe Harbor Student Groups Grade Schools with Level 4 for each group on each Readiness indicator or 5 TVAAS Ready Graduates Overall Grade Graduation Rate Priority/Comprehen for All Students and sive Support Subgroups Chronically Out of School Overall School Overall School ELPA Grade = F Grade = A, B, C, or D ACCESS for ELs
There is an All Students and Subgroup pathway for each indicator. Determine “F” Multiple Indicators Determine “A - D” Graded Schools: for determining Minimum Graded Schools other grades Performance Goal Achievement Success Rates All Students Grade AMO or Absolute Schools in bottom 5% on each indicator Growth TVAAS Safe Harbor Student Groups Grade Schools with Level 4 for each group on each Readiness indicator or 5 TVAAS Ready Graduates Overall Grade Graduation Rate Priority/Comprehen for All Students and sive Support Subgroups Chronically Out of School Overall School Overall School ELPA Grade = F Grade = A, B, C, or D ACCESS for ELs
Equity ▪ The accountability system prominently includes one or more indicators to incentivize and support improved achievement for all students including traditionally underserved and/or low-performing student groups.
The Subgroup pathway includes four historically underserved groups. ▪ Economically Disadvantaged ▪ Black/Hispanic/Native American ▪ Students with Disabilities ▪ English Learners
College and Career Readiness ▪ The accountability system prominently includes indicators associated with college and career readiness and on- track to readiness, including credit accumulation and skills associated with post-secondary success
The “Ready Graduate” indicator measures student readiness for workforce or postsecondary. ▪ Graduation rate multiplied by the percentage of graduates who meet at least one of the following criteria: – Score 21 or higher on ACT OR – Complete 4 EPSOs OR – Complete 2 EPSOs and earn an industry certification OR – Complete 2 EPSOs and earn a designated score (TBD) on ASVAB AFQT ▪ Weighting – 20 percent for high schools
Use U.S. History EOC Score for Dual Credit ▪ TN Board of Regents (TBR) is considering setting a TNReady score that would be considered for dual credit for HIST 2020 ▪ TDOE and TBR are working with TBR faculty this winter and spring to compare TNReady expectations to TBR learning outcomes in U.S. History, specifically Modern United States History (HIST 2020) 16
System Improvement ▪ An ongoing program of review, tied to the design principles and rationale for the accountability system, has been established to promote continuous improvement of the system.
Our State is Showing Historic Success — We have incredible economic strength • Record low unemployment rate • #1 in small business job growth 18
Tennessee’s Progress Literally Stands Out 19
Districts and schools in Tennessee will exemplify excellence and equity such that all students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to successfully embark on their chosen path in life. Excellence | Optimism | Judgment | Courage | Teamwork
