WATAUGA COUNTY SCHOOLS MIDDLE GRADES PRE-MATH 1 & MATH 1
PLACEMENT
Advanced Math Placement Procedure
•IDENTIFY THE STUDENTS THAT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN AN ADVANCED MATH COURSE BY USING: • Multiple criteria • Team approach
Goals of Placement Procedure
Multiple Criteria
7th Grade Pre-Math 1
•5th Grade EOG Scale Scores• Reading • Math
•6th Grade EOG Scale Scores• Reading• Math
•EVAAS projection •Actual Grades•Teacher Feedback•Attendance
8th Grade Math 1
•7th Grade EOG Scale Scores• Reading • Math
•IAAT•EVAAS projection •Actual Grades•Teacher Feedback•Attendance
Rubric Format
The placement forms will be in a rubric format
Each criteria will have a point value (5 possible each)
All point values will be addedA minimum value will determine placement
eligibility Will result in less subjectivity
Evidence for Each Criteria
Value points needed to be determined for each criteria EOG data – based off of new scale scores EVAAS data – projections based off of new scale
scores IAAT Actual Grades Teacher feedback – new rubric asking for same
information from multiple teachers Attendance
EOG Data Evidence
•In the past, the lowest Level IV scale scores served as evidence for placement

•The new lowest Level IV scale scores are… 5th Grade 6th Grade 7th GradeReading 464 465 469Math 460 461 461
•Based off of 2012-2013 EOG data:• 36 students for Pre-Math 1 • 46 students for Math 1
EOG Data Evidence
• It would be ideal to have between 80-100 students meet the initial criteria in order to reach the appropriate students •Therefore, lowest Level IV scale scores are not appropriate evidence for placement in advanced math
What now?
•I took the 84 students currently in Pre-Math 1 and 91 students currently in Math 1 and analyzed their 2012-2013 EOG data

EVAAS Data Evidence
• Previously, students who had an 85% or greater probability of scoring a Level III or higher on the Math 1 (Algebra 1) EOC were eligible for placement in advanced math
•With new test data, looking at the 85% probability left a small pool of students
•To determine at what probability should be considered as evidence, we looked at the EVAAS data for students currently in advanced math
EVAAS Data Evidence
Math 1 – Current Students
Mean 85.27407Minimum 34.7Maximum 99.9Count 81
•EVAAS has a natural cut off point at 70% probability of proficiency•70% probability produces 89 current 7th graders and 91 current 6th graders
EVAAS Data Evidence
• Based off of this data, it was determined that students should have at least a 70% probability of scoring a Level III or higher on the Math 1 EOC
•The following value points show evidence for EVAAS Criteria: Projection Rating
70%-73% 1 Point
74%-77% 2 Points
78%-81% 3 Points
82%-85% 4 Points
86% + 5 Points
IAAT Data Evidence
The following value points show evidence for IAAT Criteria:

164-169 1 Point
170-174 2 Points
175-182 3 Points
183-190 4 Points
191+ 5 Points
Actual Grades Evidence
•A student’s actual grades for the five core academic areas will be considered. •The average (rounded) grade for two semesters will be calculated for each area and points will be given based off of that average.•The average points will be used as the final point value.
•The following are value points for Actual Grades: Actual Grades Rating
83-84 C+ 1 Point
85-90 B-,B 2 Points
91-94 B+,A- 3 Points
95-98 A 4 Points
99-100 A+ 5 Points
Note: Grades based off of new grading policy
Should this range be changed?

Example
Teacher Feedback Evidence
• To limit subjectivity and to encourage feedback from all teachers involved, a teacher feedback rubric will be used to rate a student’s work habits, conduct, etc.
•Teachers will rate students based off of:• Motivation• Active participation• Study habits• Personal conduct• Organizational skills
•The average of the teacher ratings will be used as the final rating
Are there any additional criteria you would like to add?
Attendance Evidence
Days Missed Rating
9-10 days 1 Point
7-8 days 2 Points
5-6 days 3 Points
3-4 days 4 Points
0-2 days 5 Points
•Due to the fast paced nature of advanced math, attendance habits can effect a student’s ability to be successful in the class. •Considering past attendance can help determine if a student should be placed in an advanced math course.
Placement Forms
•All criteria for placement is on a one page form (with teacher feedback rubric on back) •A rating guide will be provided separately •Points can be assigned by one teacher/counselor/administrator, but the final decision should be made as a team
Placement Forms
•A student can score a possible 35 (Math 1)/40 (Pre-Math 1) total points
•18/20 or more points will be considered evidence for placement in advanced math• The average student (i.e. receive 3 value points for
each criteria) will score 20/24 points
Should 18 and 20 points be the minimum number required for placement?
Placement Forms
•Students that score 1-2 points below and above the minimum rating should be considered carefully•A team of current teachers, future teachers, counselors, and principals should determine if a student will be successful in an advanced math course together •Parents can be valuable resources in determining placement as well

Feedback
1.Rating are based off current students. Do you feel that this is a good population to determine ratings?
2.Should there be a point for automatic placement?
3.Any questions/concerns?
