Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Academic Performance Index (API) and Assessing California
Standards Test (CST) Data
Purpose of the Session:
1. To establish the direct relationship between Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), Academic Performance Index (API) and the California Standards Test (CST).
2. To accurately assess California Standards Test (CST) results so a school may make tactical changes in classroom practice and customize interventions utilized in IWT.
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO)
All Title I Schools must meet Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) school wide.
Failure to meet AYP for two consecutive years in a single curricular area or AYP component will move a school into Program Improvement (PI) status.
Curricular Areas: Language Arts and Math
1. Participation Rate:
95% participation rate must be met in
CSTs (and CAPA) for all 2nd -5th graders
and for
each “significant” sub group.
AYP Criteria Elementary: Participation Rate
AYP Criteria Elementary: Annual Measurable Outcomes (AMO)
ELA ’05= 24.4% ’06= 24.4% ’07= 24.4% ’08= 35.2%
Mathematics ’05=26.5% ’06=26.5% ’07=26.5% ’08=37.0%
2. Testing Proficiency (AMO): Minimum Percentage of students at Proficient to Advanced levels of the California Standards Test (CST)

3. Academic Performance Index (API):
Minimal School API Score of 590
Or
Increase of 1 API point per year
AYP Criteria Elementary: Academic Performance Index (API)
Title I Schools are accountable for significant subgroups
If a Title I School has a subgroup population which is:
100 students or greater who are to be STAR tested,
or
99 to 50 students which represent at least 15% of the total number
of students to be tested,
the subgroup must meet:

API
For Academic Performance Index
(API), greatest gains will occur when
moving students from the lowest CST
levels due to weighting factors.

How Do We Get Them To Proficiency?
First step is to accurately assess California Standards
Test (CST) results so a school may make tactical changes in
classroom practice and customize interventions
utilized in IWT.
Procedure:
1. Use STAR Master List to assess individual CST Reporting Clusters by each separate grade and quintile level
2. Use the Introduction/CST Test Release Questions as a tool for assessing the summarized weaknesses to:
1. Determining the need for any tactical changes in classroom practice.
2. Better customized targeted interventions utilized in IWT.
CST Assessment Protocol: Simplifying the Data Use STAR Master List to
assess individual CST Reporting Clusters:
1. Word Analysis Vocabulary2. Reading Comprehension3. Literary Response4. Writing Conventions5. Writing Strategies
CST Assessment Protocol: Simplifying the Data
Use STAR Master List to assess by each Quintile Level:
1. Advanced: ADV 2. Proficient: PRO 3. Basic: B 4. Below Basic: BB 5. Far Below Basic: FBB

CST Assessment Protocol: Simplifying the Data
In each Reporting Cluster, simplify the percentage correct by rounding to the nearest single digit number.
76% is 8; 35% is 3.5; 64% is 6
CST Assessment Protocol: Simplifying the Data Record the rounded single digit
representation on the CST Analysis Form under the proper Reporting Cluster for the first 10 students in the same grade and quintile level.
Add all simplified scores. Divide by the total number of students
recorded (10 students). Calculate score for each Reporting
Cluster
CST Assessment Protocol: Narrowing the Focus
Read Test Release Questions Introduction Reporting Cluster Description and Standards.
Key observations in job alike groups:
Refer to the Test Blue Print Page for Word Analysis. Which Standards have the greatest number of questions asked within the Word Analysis Strand? Which Standard has the least number of questions?
Which Reporting Cluster has the greatest number of questions asked on the test? The least number of questions?
CST Assessment Protocol: Narrowing the Focus
Within the Word Analysis Vocabulary Reporting Cluster/Strand: Use Test Release Questions, Test
Release answer key and Testing Blue Prints to match sample questions with the standards.
CST Assessment Protocol: Narrowing the Focus
Using the Testing Blue Print page, prioritize Standards which comprise the Word Analysis Vocabulary Reporting Cluster/Strand by number of questions asked: Highest to Lowest
CST Assessment Protocol: Strategizing by Recording Cluster and Quintile Ranking
Select a Reporting Cluster/Strand Select a Quintile Ranking Begin brainstorming to determine the
need for any tactical changes in classroom practice. Begin with analysis of your core program implementation.
Exhaust all core program resources and materials first.
Focus on IWT for initial intervention period.
Purpose of the Session:
1. To establish the direct relationship between Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), Academic Performance Index (API) and the California Standards Test (CST).
2. To accurately assess California Standards Test (CST) results so a school may make tactical changes in classroom practice and customize interventions utilized in IWT.
