  preparedness of students             Development is the
  before they enter the
                                              Key
  classroom.
                                  • Culture of School

  ensuring growth opportunities   • Sensitivity of Data
  for all students.

The EVAAS Philosophy

• All students deserve opportunities to make appropriate
  academic progress every year.
• There is no “one size fits all” way of educating students
  who enter a class at different levels of academic
  achievement.
The EVAAS Philosophy


• Adjustments to instruction should be based on the
  students’ academic needs, not on socio-economic
  factors.
• "What teachers know and can do is the most important
  influence on what students learn." (National
  Commission on Teaching and America's Future, 1996)

What Are Projections?
What Are Projections Anyway?

                Given a specific set
                of circumstances…

                …what’s the most
                likely outcome?
What Are Projections Anyway?
                Given this student’s testing
                history, across subjects…

                …what is the student likely
                to score on an upcoming
                test, assuming the student
                has the average schooling
                experience?
EVAAS Projections
What are they based on?

• Expectations based on what we know
    » About this student and other students who have
      already taken this test
    » Prior test scores (EOC/EOG), across subjects
    » Their scores on the test we’re projecting to
What’s the Value of the Projections?

 Projections are NOT about
 predicting the future.


                                They ARE
                          about assessing
                       students’ academic
                           needs TODAY.
Assessing Students’ Needs
• What are this student’s chances for success?
• What goals should we have for this student this
  year?
• What goals should we have for this student in
  future years?



What can I do to help this student get there?
Using Projections to Take Action

                  • Identify students
                  • Assess the level of risk
                  • Plan schedules
                  • Identify high-achievers
                  • Assess the opportunities
                  • Inform
Academic At-Risk Reports

                  • Reports
