From Old Forge School District to Altoona, from the School District of Philadelphia to Tioga County – all across this great Commonwealth, school districts are increasing the academic rigor and supporting children like never before.
![Page 3: From Old Forge School District to Altoona, from the School District of Philadelphia to Tioga County – all across this great Commonwealth, school districts.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d145503460f949e8dcf/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
There is strong evidence to demonstrate that the collective efforts are causing student achievement to rise.
Governor Edward Rendell is leading the charge as Pennsylvania’s education champion.
The Rendell Administration has brought unprecedented levels of financial investments and supports to Pennsylvania’s public schools.
These supports have assisted schools, as teachers and education leaders work hard to support children.
![Page 4: From Old Forge School District to Altoona, from the School District of Philadelphia to Tioga County – all across this great Commonwealth, school districts.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d145503460f949e8dcf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Rendell Administration is committed to providing real supports to our 501 school districts.
Research indicates that providing adequate
support services are among the most effective
approaches for boosting student achievement.
That is why Pennsylvania is committing unprecedented funds and supports to schools across the Commonwealth.

What is Value Added Assessment?
![Page 10: From Old Forge School District to Altoona, from the School District of Philadelphia to Tioga County – all across this great Commonwealth, school districts.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d145503460f949e8dcf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Student Learning Measures
• Status Measures– PSSA– % proficient or not proficient– Other local assessment data
• Improvement Measures– Safe Harbor– Pennsylvania Performance Index– Other local assessment data
• NEW MEASURE: Progress/Growth Measure– PVAAS
![Page 11: From Old Forge School District to Altoona, from the School District of Philadelphia to Tioga County – all across this great Commonwealth, school districts.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d145503460f949e8dcf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Value Added Analysis
• Provides a measure of what “effect” schooling has in a single year
• Formally described: Mixed model multivariate longitudinal analyses
• The statistical methodology has been reviewed by nationally renowned statisticians since the 1980’s
• The reporting has been used by educators for more than 10 years
![Page 12: From Old Forge School District to Altoona, from the School District of Philadelphia to Tioga County – all across this great Commonwealth, school districts.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d145503460f949e8dcf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PVAAS IS NOT:
•Another test•Being used for teacher
level accountability in Pennsylvania
•A “Mandate”
![Page 13: From Old Forge School District to Altoona, from the School District of Philadelphia to Tioga County – all across this great Commonwealth, school districts.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d145503460f949e8dcf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
PVAAS IS:
• A statistical analysis of existing assessment data
• A precise measurement of student progress/growth over time
• Progress data to add to achievement data as schools are analyzing their work with students and making improvement plans
![Page 14: From Old Forge School District to Altoona, from the School District of Philadelphia to Tioga County – all across this great Commonwealth, school districts.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d145503460f949e8dcf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stair-Step Expectations
Grade Three Grade Four Grade Five Grade 3 Test Grade 4 Test Grade 5 Test
In a perfect world students would start school at about the same academic level. Proficiency levels could simply be achieved by students
gaining age appropriate knowledge and skills each year.
![Page 15: From Old Forge School District to Altoona, from the School District of Philadelphia to Tioga County – all across this great Commonwealth, school districts.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d145503460f949e8dcf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Differentiated Reality
Grade Three Grade Four Grade Five
Students begin school at different places, they often progress at different rates. Yet all
students are expected to achieve the same level of academic proficiency each year.

The need for progress measures
Grade Three Grade Four Grade Five
To measure school effectiveness in this “differentiated” world, we need to pay attention
not only to proficiency levels but also to how much progress students make in a given year.

Where We are Going with PVAAS in Pennsylvania
![Page 25: From Old Forge School District to Altoona, from the School District of Philadelphia to Tioga County – all across this great Commonwealth, school districts.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d145503460f949e8dcf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
How PVAAS Fits into PA Accountability Plan
• Currently in “pilot” phase
• Not tied to AYP
• Intended to serve as an additional tool
for schools for improvement planning
• Many SEA’s looking to use as part of
meeting AYP for subgroups
