High School Redesign Recommendations
• Increase Graduation Requirements• Implement LA Core for Freshman Class of
2008-09• Strengthen the Career-Technical Endorsement • Replace the GEE with End of Course Tests
(EOC) for the Freshman Class of 2009-10• Modify the Graduation Index to better align
high school accountability with the goals of high school redesign
• Support Drop Out Prevention and Recovery
End of Course (EOC) Tests: Recommendations Beginning with the freshman Class of 2009-2010, replace
the GEE with End of Course Tests To graduate, a student would have to have a “verified
credit” in English and Math and either Science or Social Studies
The state will offer at least 2 EOC tests in each of the core subject areas
The EOC test will count as part of the student’s grade, with BESE establishing a minimum percent
The Accountability Commission needs to recommend how to integrate EOC tests into high school accountability
Funding Request:• Test Development and Administration • On-line tutorial for students• Professional development for teachers• Technology funds for high schools
High School Redesign Next Steps
•High School Summit March 2, 2007 Marriott Hotel, Baton Rouge www.solutionwhere.com/ldoe

•Algebra I Field Test, Spring 2007
Assessment Types Formative Assessment
• Formative assessment is a process by teachers and students during instruction that provides feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to improve students’ achievement of intended learning outcomes.
Interim (Benchmark) Assessment• Periodic assessments• May be used in a formative or summative
manner Summative Assessment
• Accountability testing (like LEAP/GEE)• End-point evaluation
Rationale for EAGLE program Local requests for state assessment
reports at the sub-strand level Challenges in meeting the request with
accountability tests Development of EAGLE concept
• system that provides detailed information about student learning
• on-demand environment Classroom formative assessment for
learning
EAGLE – Vision System that provides teachers with access
to appropriate items System can be used at any time System provides evidence about student
achievement to make instructional decisions
System that teachers can assess student learning continuously
System that helps students to evaluate their learning
USDE Peer Review NCLB establishes Standards and
Assessment criteria Each state must be approved in order
to receive certain federal funding About 20 states are approved, to
date Louisiana is “Approval Expected”
•Pending issues: LAA 1, Migrant
LAA 1 Assessment has not been revised Achievement levels established,
based on student growth• Substantial Growth• Moderate Growth• Minimal Growth• No Measurable Growth
SPS and subgroup will be based on growth
Needs USDE approval
Migrant Data for migrant students must be collected
and reported COE on file for Migrant Student
• COE is the official paperwork that makes the student "migrant."
Before testing begins, the principal should code this section on hand-coded answer documents.
For the precoded students, the data will be pulled from the state data base.
This field should be coded only for students who have an approved certificate of eligibility (COE) on file, not for students who may be migrant but do not have a COE on file.
