3 What are Priority Schools? Lowest 5% of Title I schools (based on aggregate math and reading PSSA or Keystone scores) OR Title I schools receiving School Improvement Grant (SIG) funds 3
4 ESEA Flexibility Waiver ESEA Flexibility Waiver Accountability Differences 4
5 ESEA Flexibility Waiver New for Performance criteria & Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) now replaces Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). 20% of Title I funds set aside for meaningful interventions. Transferability Authority Allowable for , transfer up to 100% from Title IIA to Title IA. Carryover Allowable for Due to sequestration the carryover limit was waived for only 12/13 funds indicated on your 13/14 application. The brand new cycle starts with your 13/14 funds indicated on your 14/15 application. LEAs are no longer required to set aside 10% for professional development as a result of a School Improvement designation. 5
6 ESEA Flexibility Waiver New For SES is optional. The LEA must offer meaningful interventions in lieu of SES. District-designed afterschool tutoring programs, summer school programs, before school programs are allowable. Just don t call it SES unless you mean it. This change allows LEAs to: Manage their intervention funds. Allows LEAs to be more creative and flexible with designing interventions. *If an LEA offers SES, then the existing SES rules still apply.* 6
7 ESEA Flexibility Waiver New for School Choice Parents must be allowed to let their child continue to attend the school building that was chosen under NCLB School Choice until the highest grade of that school building is achieved. If parents opt to continue School Choice, LEA does not have to offer transportation. 7
8 ESEA Flexibility Waiver New for Focus and Priority schools are required to set aside 20% of their total allocation for meaningful interventions beginning with 14/15. Optional for this year. These activities are not subject to equitable service requirements. Equitable services do apply to funds an LEA allocates to its Title I schools on a per-pupil basis. 8
9 ESEA Flexibility Waiver Federal Accountability Differences Old All public schools in PA 100% proficiency on state tests by 2014 Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Disaggregated subgroups: N=40 Each school receives a designation based on AYP status New Only Title I schools Close achievement gap by half in 6 years Annual Measureable Objectives (AMOs) Two student groups: N=11 Only highest and lowest Title I schools receive designations 9
10 ESEA Flexibility Waiver Understanding Student Groups For Accountability N = 11 Two groups: All students Historically underperforming students Unduplicated count of students with IEPs, students classified as ELL and economically disadvantaged students For Reporting N = 11 Traditional disaggregated subgroups By race/ethnicity IEP ELL Economic disadvantage Duplicate count 10
11 ESEA Flexibility Waiver Accountability Measures The new accountability system focuses on four Annual Measurable Objectives. They are: 1)Test Participation Rate 2)Graduation Rate/Attendance Rate 3)Closing Achievement Gap-for all students 4)Closing the Achievement Gap of Historically Underperforming Students 11
12 ESEA Flexibility Waiver Closing Achievement Gap Closing the Achievement Gap All Students The achievement gap is determined by comparing the percentage of students who are proficient or advanced on the PSSAs, Keystone Exams or the PASA in (baseline year). For 13/14 the statewide proficiency average will be used to determine if a school has met this AMO. If the school achieves greater than the statewide average, then this AMO is attained. See handout. 12
13 ESEA Flexibility Waiver Closing Achievement Gap Closing the Achievement Gap of Historically Underperforming Students Same approach as for All students - the objective is to obtain a non-duplicated count of students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged students and English Language Learners enrolled for a full academic year taking the PSSA, Keystone Exams or PASA. 50% of the gap will be closed over a six year period. 13
14 ESEA Flexibility Waiver Attendance AMO: Attendance Schools must achieve a 90% attendance rate OR improvement in attendance from the previous year if less than 90%. Attendance rate data is always one year behind 2012 data will be used for accountability. 14
15 ESEA Flexibility Waiver Test Participation AMO: Test Participation 2013 At least 95% of the students eligible to participate in state testing must take the PSSA/Keystone Exams if given in their grade level/course. 15
16 ESEA Flexibility Waiver Items Remaining the Same Federal Compliance Items that Remain the Same All Parent Involvement Requirements remain in place. For example: compacts, teacher qualification requests, annual meetings, set asides, etc. All Fiscal requirements such as time & effort, supplement vs. supplant, comparability, carryover, etc. remain in place. All core content area teachers must be highly qualified. All LEAs receiving federal funds must have an equity plan. Equitable services to nonpublic school students must continue. Title III requirements remain in place. 16
17 ESEA Flexibility Waiver Monitoring Changes to Monitoring Beginning in the spring of 13/14 - Priority Schools will be monitored every year. Focus schools will be monitored every two years. Other Title I monitoring will continue 4 year cycle Risk based (corrective actions, audit findings, etc.) More information will be forthcoming. 17

19 Academic Recovery Liaisons (ARLs) Roles and Responsibilities ARLs will provide direct support in the Priority Schools, which includes spending time onsite at the schools. Coach and collaboratively work with schools, LEAs, and PDE to identify resources, professional development opportunities, and interventions to support Priority Schools. Assist principals and school leadership in selecting interventions aligned to their needs based on root cause data analysis. Collaborate with principals to design systems and structures to support best practices for accelerating student learning. 19
20 Academic Recovery Liaisons (ARLs) Deployment Strategy To date 12 ARLs will be hired to support Priority Schools. Factors that will be considered in hiring include: Experience as a building level principal, district level administrator, and/or similar school leadership position. Knowledge of school improvement strategies and implementation strategies. Geographical Location. Grade Spans. 20

Principals will gain several analogies and strategies to use when describing growth via PVAAS to their staff. If a principal is not able to describe and talk about the concept of growth to his/her staff, he/she will struggle to use PVAAS growth data as a tool for continuous improvement. 26
