5. U-PASSAccountability Plan • Student Participation on Assessments • Status Scores • Percentage of students proficient on the collection of assessments and other indicators • Progress Scores • Longitudinal measure based on comparing the achievement levels of the same student from one year to the next

11. U-PASS Accountability Plan • Aggregate Subgroup Accountability • Every student who belongs to a subgroup other than white • Individual student proficiencies are added together and divided by the number of students to determine the subgroup proficiency level • Any individual subgroup not meeting proficiency will appear on the front page of the report

12. U-PASS Accountability Plan • Subgroup Status Accountability. • Allows greater accountability. • Students in a subgroup with less than 10 are now included in the aggregate calculation. • Students are more fairly represented. • Each student only counts once, regardless of the number of subgroups in which the student qualifies. • Increased reliability. • We are evaluating a larger group. • More students and more schools are represented. • Increased validity. • We do not overweight small populations. • This lifts the burden of one subgroup being the sole determinant of unacceptable status of the school.

13. The 2006 U-PASS Report • Web-based report format • An increased amount of information available on each school • Allows for “drill-down” information
