Determining School Accreditation

• Based on the percentage of students passing the Standards of Learning (SOL) assessment tests in the four core academic areas

• Calculated on the current year's scores or a trailing three-year average

2012-2013 Accreditation Benchmarks

Note: Ratings for the 2012-2013 school year are based on achievement during 2011-2012 or on average achievement during the three most recent school years.

Accreditation Benchmarks Changes for the 2013-2014:Science and history and social science, the third grade pass rate will increase from 50 percent to 70 percent.

English, the pass rate for grades six through twelve will increase from 70 percent to 75 percent.

Action Steps

30

• Analyze district Student Performance By Question (SPBQ) reporting category and SPBQ reports to identify areas of strength and improvement

• Continue to develop additional Technology Enhanced Items

• “Look-a-like” problems are being used as the framework for the pre-assessments and have been placed in curriculum management for teacher use.

Action Steps Focused on Enhancing the Math Results

31

• Conduct a Needs Assessments of all teachers who teach math

• Create Professional Development sessions based on the results of the Needs Assessment

• Increase monitoring of teachers’ evidence of re-teaching and remediation (building administrators and central office administrators)

Action Steps Focused on Enhancing the Math Results

Action Steps Focused on the Revised English and Science Standards

SOL English Standards:• Adopted in 2010 and Implemented in 2011• Field tested new online writing tool in 2012• Field tested new reading & writing content in 2012• SOL tested in 2013

SOL Science Standards:• Adopted in 2010 and Implemented in 2011• Field tested new content in 2012• SOL tested in 2013

33

Action Steps Focused on the Revised English and Science Standards

Beginning in 2010, committees created:

• Action plans & Time tables

• Crosswalks comparison-- Integrated critical portions of new standards without deleting current standards

• Scope and sequences

34

Action Steps Focused on the Revised English and Science Standards

Beginning in 2010, committees also created:

• Pacing guides

• Updated student review notes -- Infused certain critical standards one year in advance of testing

• Lessons & labs developed and included in teachers' curriculum guides in science

35

Other action steps:

• Teachers shared best practices

• Students provided chance to use new online writing practice tool provided by VDOE in 2012 during SOL Writing field test

Action Steps Focused on the Revised English and Science Standards

36

Other action steps:

• Provide students with practice using Technology Enhanced Practice Items provided by VDOE

• Update division tests and quizzes to align with Technology Enhanced Items formatting
