2014 ESE Accountability Changes  and Webinar

Click on 2014 Preliminary Accountability Review Webinars to sign up for an upcoming ESE webinar on interpreting the preliminary 2014 district and school accountability data (reports now available in the Accountability 2014 Data application in the Security Portal).  

Webinars will be held on the following dates and times: Wednesday, August 27 at 3:00 PM; Wednesday, September 3 at 12:00 PM; and Wednesday, September 10 at 10:00 AM.

On last week's conference calls, some of this information was discussed.  An example of two points of information from last week:  for 2014, the state median for SGP is 50 on all assessments; and high schools that reengaged 2 or more dropouts in the 2012-2013 school year will earn 25 extra credit PPI points (all students & high needs groups only).  The powerpoint for last week's calls, including information on reporting discrepancies (All Discrepancies to be reported by THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 2014) was posted on the MCAS Service Center.
