Research and Proven Practices
• Flexibility• Parent Knowledge,
Choice, Involvement

H.R. 1 – No Child Left Behind Act
State Testing Requirements
Beginning School Year 2002-2005
Annual testing in one grade within three levels; 3-5, 6-9 and 10-12 in reading and mathematics
Beginning School Year 2002-2003
Annual English proficiency assessment for all LEP students
Beginning School Year 2002 - 2003
Participation in NAEP required in grades 4 and 8 in reading and mathematics
Beginning School Year 2005 – 2006
Annual testing in Grades 3-8 in reading and mathematics (and HS year; 10th)
Beginning School Year 2007 – 2008
Annual testing in one grade within three levels, 3-5, 6-9, and 10-12 in science
Additional Indicators Required
Graduation rate for secondary, state selects elementary/middle indicator(s)
Alternate Assessments• States must measure all student performance against the state’s
standards
• “Developmentally appropriate” testing allowed
• Special Education students are currently assessed using:– WASL
– WASL with Accommodations
– Portfolio Alternate Assessment
1 on WASL = Below Basic 1 on WAAS = Below Basic
2 on WASL = Basic 2 on WAAS = Basic
3 on WASL = Proficient 3 on WAAS = Proficient
4 on WASL = Advanced 4 on WAAS = Advanced
• 1% limitation allowed to count toward proficiency alternate (WA: 2003: .2% --- 2004: 1%)
• ALL students “proficient” by 2014
• Separate, measurable goals in reading and mathematics -- State Uniform Bars
• Separate, measurable objectives/disaggregated data and goals for: • All Children
• Racial/Ethnic Groups
• Students from Low-Income Families
• Students with Disabilities (Special Education)
• Students with Limited English Proficiency (ELL)
NCLB Adequate Yearly Progress Elements
Other NCLB AYP Elements
• Must include at least one other indicator:– Graduation rates, for high schools– Attendance for elementary/middle schools
• 95% of students in each group must be tested
• School is making AYP if there is a 10 percent reduction in each group not reaching proficiency -- “Safe Harbor”
• Determination of “personally identifiable” and “statistically reliable” number(s)– Personally identifiable = 10
– Statistical reliable = 30
Full Academic Year Requirement
• Full academic year = October 1st
– all students whose enrollment is continuous and uninterrupted on or before October 1st in the school year through the date the assessment is administered
• Beginning Fall 2003
• Determines which students are to be included in decisions about Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).
Applies To:
– Enrolled Full Academic Year in School– Enrolled Full Academic Year in District– Enrolled Full Academic Year in State
Other Indicator: Elementary/Middle Schools (Gr. 1-8)
Attendance– Definition of an unexcused absence: Failure to meet the district’s policy for excused absences
– RCW 28A.225.020 defines unexcused absence: Failure to attend the majority of hours or periods in an average school day or failure to comply with a more restrictive school district’s policy for excused absences.
The rate for AYP purposes is calculated as follows:
Total number of student days of unexcused absences in the year Average monthly headcount X number of student days in the SY
– AYP will be met if a school/district attains an unexcused absence rate of 1 percent or less. Schools/districts with unexcused absence rates greater than 1 percent must show a reduction from the prior year to meet AYP.
Other Indicator: High Schools (Gr. 9-12)Calculation of the Graduation Rate
– Cohort begins at the beginning of Grade 9• Identify “Expected Year of Graduation” (i.e., after 4 years)
The expected graduation year may be reassigned under the following conditions:
• Transfers into district after grade 9• IEP Team exception decisions no later than age 16
– Washington State will also calculate an “Extended Cohort Analysis”• Students who successfully obtain a diploma after their graduation year
will be “added” to the cohort graduation rate for reporting purposes.
High Schools, districts, and the state annual graduation rate goal = 73%Graduation goal for 2014 = 85%
To make AYP if the rate is below 73%, it must increase by 1% point compared to the previous year. The graduation rate applies to the entire school and district, not to the student subgroups.
“Multiple Hurdles”
All schools will have a “multiple hurdle” model in which they need to make AYP in all areas to be considered on schedule.
Must have 95% participation rate to meet AYP.
