Timeline
October 3: State Board of Education (SBE) adopted Academic Achievement Standards (cut scores) and Academic Achievement Level Descriptors
October: NCDPI applying the cut scores to the 2012-13 tests and generating READY Accountability results for presentation to the SBE on November
November 7: Public website with state, district and school results for 2012-13
November 7: Software available to produce Individual Student Reports (Redesigned with explanation of what the scores mean on the back side of the report)

Background
6
College and Career Readiness
It is important to remember that we have raised expectations significantly in the 2012-13 school year.
Goal in the Past: Grade-level Proficiency or Better
Goal Today: Grade-level Proficiency andCareer- and College- Readiness

Implementation of More
Rigorous Mathematics
Standards
Implementation of More Rigorous Reading Standards
1992-93 to 2011-12 EOG General Test Multiple Choice Test Results Statewide Percent of Student at or above
Level III in BOTH Reading and Mathematics
10
Decline in percent proficient is more pronounced than previously◦ Previously 13 to 15 percentage point decrease◦ For 2012-13, decreases in percent proficient
range from: 16 to 25 percentage points in reading 27 to 44 percentage points in mathematics 9 to 33 percentage points in science
Impact of More Rigorous Content Standards in 2012-13
11
What does this mean?
Students have not learned less; the content is more rigorous and there were significant changes to the content standards.Reading requires more careful analysis to
comprehend the information/ideas
Mathematics requires understanding and application of mathematical processes;
not just arithmetic
12
English Language Arts/Reading: Grade 6 EOG Sample Question
What is the effect of the simile in paragraph 25?
A to show how surprised Liam was to see the fairy queen
B to describe the speed of the old woman’s movements
C to explain how much the fairy queen liked Liam’s choicesD to illustrate that Liam was confused by the old
woman This item requires the student to identify the simile and then identify its impact/its purpose in the story. This goes beyond reading a story and re-telling the main events.
13
Mathematics: Grade 8 EOG Sample Question
Limousine Company P and Company R both charge a rental fee plus an additional charge per hour. •The equation y = 50 + 30x models the total cost (in dollars), y, of renting a limousine from Company P for x hours.•The table below shows the cost to rent a limousine from Company R for different lengths of time.
Company R
Which statement accurately compares the per hour charges of the two companies?
A Company P charges $5 less per hour than Company R.
B Company P charges $5 more per hour than Company R.
C Company P charges $25 less per hour than Company R.
D Company P charges $25 more per hour than company R.
Time(hours)

Total Cost
$100 $125 $150 $175 $200
This item requires the student to compare properties of two functions, each represented in a different way (equation and table). This goes beyond simply determining the rate of change of a function.
14
Science: Biology
This item requires the student to understand how various disease agents can influence natural selection and then select the correct cause and effect relationship. This goes beyond only knowing the content.
15
Accountability Includes Proficiency, Growth and Progress Targets
Proficiency: Percent of students who are prepared for the next grade level and on track to be ready for college and career
Growth: An indication of the rate at which students in the school learned over the past year. The standard is roughly equivalent to a year’s worth of growth for a year of instruction. Defined as (1) did not meet, (2) met, or (3) exceeded expected growth
Progress Targets: Federal Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) for reading and mathematics and state targets for science and the new high school accountability measures
16
Accountability Includes Proficiency, Growth and Progress Targets
17
Conclusions
Accountability includes proficiency, growth and progress targets: All three give information on a school’s performance
Though the percent of proficient students has dropped, approximately 70 percent of North Carolina schools met or exceeded growth expectations
Students continued to learn, but our expectations of what shows preparedness, now and beyond high school, has changed
Student reports for parents will include the proficiency levels of 1, 2, 3 and 4, as well as percentiles, which will give comparative data for student performance
