SLIDE 1 DMAC Users Meeting – Data, the Building Blocks of Instructional Planning
Longview Independent School District, Assistant Superintendent Research Accountability and Planning
SLIDE 2
Goal: To improve student achievement by strategically using data to target instructional interventions and classroom instruction.
SLIDE 3 4 Performance Indexes – Why?
Address 4 statutory and policy goals
1. Improving student achievement at all levels in core subjects 2. Ensuring progress of all students toward Advanced Academic Performance (STAAR Level III) 3. Closing Advanced Academic Performance Gaps among groups (STAAR Level III) 4. Rewarding excellence based indicators other than state assessment results
Index 1 Index 2
Index 3 Index 4
50% of the Indexes (Index 2 and Index 3) are grounded on STAAR Level III
Only 1 of the indexes is based on “passing”
(Index 1 and it is at Phase 1!)

SLIDE 46 STAAR Progress Measure
- 2013 - 4th Grade Reading, barely
passed at phase 1, raw score 24, scale score 1422
- 2014 – 5th grade Reading, barely
passed at phase 1, raw score 25, scale score 1458
SLIDE 47 STAAR Progress Measure
- From 4th to 5th grade – each time
barely passed at phase 1, only required 1 more question. Scale score 1458 – 1422 = 36 scale score points.
- Only needed 32 more scale score
points to meet progress.

SLIDE 54 Is it really harder to show growth at Level III Advanced Academic Performance?
2013 Grade 4 Reading 2014 Grade 5 Reading
- How many Questions are there in grade 4? Grade 5?
- How many questions do you have to answer correctly to
score Advanced Academic Performance in grade 4? Grade 5?
SLIDE 55 Is it really harder to show growth at Level III Advanced Academic Performance?
2013 Grade 4 Reading 2014 Grade 5 Reading
- 2013 Grade 4, Raw Score 38 Scale Score 1633
- 2014 Grade 5, Raw Score 40 Scale score 1667
- From advanced Academic Performance Grade 4 to AAP Grade 5,
2 raw score points 1667 – 1633 = 34 Scale Score points. Only 32 Scale Score points needed to show growth.

Out of 50 questions, the mean (avg.) was a Raw Score of 33 or 66%

ALPHA Alpha (the rigor of the test) .922 SEM SEM (the validity of the test ) 2.88 SEM on any given day the students are likely to score ± 3 questions.
SLIDE 84
- If the Alpha is .922, how rigorous is the
assessment?
- The closer the number gets to 1 the more
rigorous.
SLIDE 85
- If the SEM is 2.88, how valid is the
assessment?
– SEM = On any given day, without any further instruction, how closely aligned is the raw score. – The closer to 0 the more valid the assessment.
