4 AAC 06.815 - Long-Term goals and measures of interim progress
(a) The department
shall establish long-term goals for improvement in academic achievement, as
measured by proficiency on the annual statewide English language arts and
mathematics assessments under
4
AAC 06.737 and
4
AAC 06.775(b), for the all-students
group and for each subgroup of students under
4
AAC 06.820. The department shall establish
measurements of interim progress toward meeting the long-term goals for
academic achievement. The long-term goals and measures of interim progress are
set for the all-students group and for each subgroup defined in
4
AAC 06.830 that includes at least ten students for
(1) each school in the district;
(2) the district as a whole; and
(3) the state as a whole.
(b) The long-term academic
achievement goals are set to reduce by half the percentage of non-proficient
students on the statewide assessments in English language arts and mathematics
by the 2026 - 2027 school year, using the assessment results from the 2016-2017
school year as the baseline year. The measures of interim progress are
established as uniform annual increases in the percentage of students who score
at the proficient or advanced achievement level for the all-students group and
all subgroups based on their respective starting points on the spring 2017
administration of the assessments. The department will calculate the percentage
of students enrolled for a full academic year who scored at the proficient or
advanced achievement level on the state English language arts and mathematics
standards-based assessments as compared to the total number of students tested
who were enrolled for a full academic year. A district or school meets the
measure of interim progress or the long-term goal for the all-students group or
a subgroup if it meets the target set for the district or school. In order to
meet a long term goal or measure of interim progress, a school, a district, or
the state also must meet a 95 percent assesment participation rate under
4
AAC 06.820(a) in the all-students
group and each subgroup. Additionally a district or school meets the measure of
interim progress for
(1) the district or
school if it meets the measure of interim progress or long-term goal calculated
for the all-students group for the state as a whole; and
(2) a subgroup at the district or school if
it meets the measure of interim progress 3rd long-term goal for the subgroup
for the state as a whole.
(c) The department shall establish long-term
goals for the four-year and five-year graduation rates, for the all-students
group and for each subgroup of students under
4
AAC 06.830. The department shall establish
measurements of interim progress toward meeting the long-term goals for
graduation rates. The long-term goals and measures of interim progress are set
for the all-students group and for each subgroup that includes at least ten
students in the adjusted graduation cohort for
(1) each school in the district;
(2) the district as a whole; and
(3) the state as a whole,
(d) The long-term four-year
graduation rate goal is 90 percent, and the five-year graduation rate goal is
93 percent by the 2026 - 2027 school year, using graduation rates from the
2016-2017 school year as the baseline year. The measures of interim progress
are established as uniform annual increases in the graduation rates for the all
students group and all subgroups based on their respective starting points on
the 2017 graduation rates. The graduation rates are calculated as described in
4
AAC 06.825. A district or school meets the measure of
interim progress or the long-term goal for the all-students group or a subgroup
if it meets the target set for the district or school. However, a district or
school meets the measure of interim progress for
(1) the district or school if it meets the
measure of interim progress or long-term goal calculated for the all-students
group for the state as a whole; and
(2) a subgroup at the district or school if
it meets the measure of interim progress or long-term goal for the subgroup for
the state as a whole
(e)
The department shall establish long-term goals for the percentage of English
learners making progress in achieving English language proficiency, as defined
and calculated under
4
AAC 06.823. The department shall establish
measurements of interim progress toward meeting the long-term goals for English
learner progress. The long-term goals and measures of interim progress are set
for the English learner subgroup at the state level, and apply to the English
learner subgroup in each school and district that includes at least ten
students. The long-term goal for English learner progress is 70 percent by the
2026 - 2027 school year, using the percentage of English learners defined as
making progress in the 2016 - 2017 school year as the baseline year. The
measures of interim progress are established as uniform annual increases of 2.8
percent in the percentage of English learners making progress.
(f) Not later than 30 davs after the release
of preliminary goals and measures of interim progress each year, the department
will produce a report for the state and each district and school showing the
performance for academic achievement, graduation rate, and English learner
progress as compared to the long-term goals and measures of interim progress
and an indication of whether the targets have been met.
