Schools Across West Virginia Get a Snapshot of Student Growth as Part of State's New
Accountability SystemPosted: September 04, 2013
"It is important for our schools to understand that the new accountability system is not about comparing one school to another," added Phares. "The system is about keeping your eye on the finish line despite where a student starts and moving that individual student forward to proficiency."

State Board GoalThe West Virginia Board of Education will provide a statewide system of education that ensures all students graduate from high school prepared for success in high-quality postsecondary opportunities in college and/or careers.
RationaleThe future quality of life for the citizens of West Virginia is
directly linked to the performance of our students. Today's students are tomorrow's wage earners and tax payers. Low student achievement levels, decreasing graduation rates and ranking among the nation's lowest levels of post-secondary transition are all bleak predictors of West Virginia's future. We must strive to prepare our graduates to meet the requirements of high quality jobs needed within West Virginia and nationally. In addition to career preparedness, many systemic public issues like obesity, drug dependence, teen pregnancy, and crime are statistically linked to the overall level of education. Thus, unless our education system improves and our young people are prepared to be productive and responsible members of our society, the state will have decreasing resources to support the infra-structure and services essential to attracting economic growth and elevating the overall quality of life of its citizens.

Purpose of SPLThe West Virginia Support for Personalized
Learning (SPL) framework is a state-wide initiative that suggests flexible use of resources to provide relevant academic, social/emotional and/or behavioral support to enhance learning for ALL students.
SPL is designed to improve outcomes for students with a variety of academic and behavioral needs.

Poverty continues to manifest itself in ways that affect a child’s readiness to learn:
expectations, background experiences, nutrition, health, stress, uncertainty, instability.

How will Career and Technical Instructors help students master skills sets to move from today’s
learner into being tomorrow’s wage earner?
SPL and HSTW/TCTW Similarities
• Is characterized by high expectations for all students and takes place in an academic environment that is safe, challenging, engaging and allows students to take academic risks without fear of failure.
• All students need access to high quality instruction.
SPL and HSTW/TCTW
SPL operates with the understanding that student learning increases when the right supports are available and responsively revised or removed as each student’s learning advances and deepens.
The HSTW effort is based on the belief that, in the right school environment, most students can learn complex academic and technical concepts. The initiative targets high school students who seldom are challenged to meet higher academic standards.
SPL and HSTW/TCTW• All students need access to high quality
instruction.• It is characterized by high expectations for all
students and takes place in an academic environment that is safe, challenging, engaging and allows students to take academic risks without fear of failure.
Access to the General Curriculum
Accommodations affect how a student learns, not what they are expected to learn.
The glossary entry in the SPL Guidance for West Virginia Schools and Districts defines accommodations as
considerations that are given so that a student may access the general education curriculum and content skill sets.
Accommodations do not change the content and are not considered interventions.
To prepare students for college, the workplace or community educators must provide access to the general education curriculum and content skills sets to the greatest extent possible.

Cognitive Strategies Instruction
In SPI, Cognitive Strategies Instruction is described as a specific form of scaffolding that supports learners in using thinking processes that are typically overt and even sub-conscious for highly skilled users.
While many learners independently work their way to successful management of these cognitive processes,
others have been found to benefit from instructional supports, customized to their personal needs.

• What is meant by the general education curriculum? The full range of courses, activities, lessons, and
materials routinely used by the general population
• What is meant by access? Participation in the knowledge and skills that
make up the general education curriculum
Accessing the General Education Curriculum
Access to the General Education Curriculum for Students with Disabilities
ACCESS is not:
• Students with disabilities sitting in the general education classroom completing work that is unrelated to the grade-level standards.
• Students with disabilities sitting in the general education classroom exposed to content that is out of their reach.
Access to the General Education Curriculum for Students with Disabilities
• It is essential to determine how students with disabilities will participate in the content of the general education curriculum.
• The student’s strengths provide the best information to determine how the student can access the knowledge and skills of the general education curriculum.

What steps do IEP Teams need to follow to develop effective standards-based IEPs
specific to CTE students?• Determine expectations within CTE Content
Skills sets• CTE for Students with Disabilities • Community Readiness• How does the exceptionality affect
involvement/progress in Career and Technical Education curriculum?
Students with Disabilities in CTE• SWDs should be represented in any CTE program in
similar proportions to the total school population of the LEA.
• Collaboration among CTE and SE administrators and staff is crucial to determine staffing needs and methods for support for students, particularly at CTE centers where no special educator is located in the building. (Page 2)
Problem Solving
• Collaborative planning and frequent communication will alleviate issues before they arise.
• Professional conferencing among staff or with the student is the best step for a successful CTE experience.
• Unresolved issues must be addressed as part of the IEP process or through administrative intervention. (Page 4)
Safety Expectations for SWDs• Safety is a number one priority for CTE, and crucial
to the success of all CTE programs.• Discussion of safety concerns should be an integral
part of determining placement of SWDs.• All CTE students are required to meet safety
standards at all times. • SWDs are required to pass all safety examinations
with necessary accommodations. (Page 4)

Accommodation vs. ModificationAccommodation: An effort to alter the representation or presentation to alter the student’s engagement with the curriculum to enhance access and progress.– Changes in the assessment or curriculum that do
not alter the validity, reliability, or security of the test or curriculum.
Modification: Substantive changes in an assessment or academic curriculum that change the rigor or expectation.
Accommodations
The individual supports each student needs to successfully participate in key learning experiences, varies.
Some SWDs may need only limited support while others may need more extensive accommodations or modifications.
Various Accommodations• Presentation Accommodations— change how an assignment or
assessment is given to a student. These include alternate modes of access which may be auditory, multisensory, tactile, or visual.
• Response Accommodations— allow students to complete assignments, assessments, and activities in different ways (alternate format or procedure) or to solve or organize problems using some type of assistive device or organizer.
• Setting Accommodations— change the location in which an assignment or assessment is given or the conditions of the setting.
• Timing/Scheduling Accommodations—increase the allowable length of time to complete an assignment or assessment, or change the way the time is organized for an assignment or assessment.
• Equipment and Material Accommodations— allow students to use additional equipment and/or materials such as calculator, amplification equipment, manipulative, assistive and instructional technology.
(Minnesota Manual of Accommodations 2009, 12)
Accommodation Examples
• Teaching students to use mnemonic strategies• Providing audio-recorded, highlighted or large-print
textbooks and materials• Presenting material in smaller, more discrete steps (a type of
scaffolding)• Using supplemental aids, such as vocabulary or multiplication
cards or charts• Designing guided notes that include the most salient
information• Providing instructions in multiple ways (differentiated
instruction)
