•What is unknown•How the acceleration component (MS & HS) will be calculated•How 2016 learning gains will be calculated•How level 3 & 4 students will be included in learning gains in 2016

Accountability: Proposed Grade

Florida State Board of EducationStrategic Plan Metrics

Accountability: School Grades

What will no longer be included in school grades:

•Writing Component (now part of ELA)

•Weighting Student Scores•Learning Gains•High School Component Growth

•Grade Reduction Penalties•Participation less than 95%•Adequate Progress of the Low 25%•High School Component Decline

•At-Risk or 5-year Graduation Components

•College Readiness Components

Accountability: Participation

Because there is not a Participation Penalty allowed, the Participation Rate requirement will change:

•Participation Rate Old Model•‘A’ Grade required 95% participation or the Grade was reduced to a ‘B’

•‘B’-’F’ Grade required 90-95% participation or the Grade was reported as an ‘I’ pending FDOE review

•Participation Rate New Model•95% participation is required or the Grade will be reported as an ‘I’ pending DOE review
