New School Year 2013/14



UPDATE: November 2012

The Unbridled Learning accountability model is organized around the Kentucky Board of Education’s four strategic priorities: Next-Generation Learners, Next-Generation Instructional Programs and Support, Next-Generation Professionals and Next-Generation Schools/ Districts. The recent first release of data from the Unbridled Learning model included only the Next-Generation Learners component (Achievement [Proficiency], Gap, Growth, Readiness for College/Career and Graduation Rate).

In the fall of 2013, the second round of data from the model will be released, and that data will include both Next-Generation Learners and Next-Generation Instructional Programs and Support (Program Reviews). Schools have already received their 2012-13 Next-Generation Learner Overall Scores as targets for Proficient.

The Program Review scores will have two roles in the summer of 2013: (1) Schools will see a publicly-reported Program Review classification (Needs Improvement, Proficient, Distinguished) for each subject (AH/PLCS/Writing). (2) Scores will provide a baseline for the combined accountability model that includes Next-Generation Learner and Program Reviews and the Overall Score as the target for Proficient in 2013-14.

Data for Program Reviews MUST be entered in ASSIST by June 1, 2013.


 * Basically, the PRs MUST all be entered into ASSIST by June 2013—however, those will be ‘baselines’ used for standards setting—__so, for ACCOUNTABILITY PURPOSES (meeting the targets that were set this year), they WILL NOT count in the 2013 overall calculation__—HOWEVER, they will be used to RECALCULATE new ACCOUNTABILITY Targets for 2013-14 academic year. (And—even though they won’t be figured into this years accountability index or score (since the targets were already set), they WILL BE REPORTED on the school report cards for this year. **


 * The thinking was that since the PRs had been revised/streamlined, the standards setting process needed to occur with the most current tools to set the targets—instead of trying to ‘correlate’ two different measures. **

**2012-2013**
**// (Source) Fast Five on Friday //** v **// Program Review Update and Revisions - //** Based on feedback from the field, the Program Review process has been revised to help schools and districts implement these more effectively. Program Reviews will now be completed on a rotating basis. At a minimum, schools will conduct an in-depth review of at least one program area of their choosing each year and __#|submit__ the ratings in ASSIST, ensuring all program areas (arts/humanities, Practical Living/Career Studies, writing, and K-3) are reviewed on a three- (3) to four- (4) year cycle. For program areas not in review in a given year, schools should continue with the program area improvements identified by previous years’ data/ratings. Ratings for program areas not under an in-depth review must be submitted in ASSIST, even though these ratings may not have changed. Finally, Program Review standards and demonstrators for each program areaare now more refined, streamlined and concise. These updates will be available on the website ( http://www.education.ky.gov/KDE/Instructional+Resources/Program+Reviews/ ) by September 1, 2012. In addition, greater guidance on the quality and quantity of evidence is forthcoming. __ Expectations for the 2012-2013 School Year __ Questions about Program Reviews should be directed to Robert Duncan at (502) 564-2106 or via e-mail at Robert.duncan@education.ky.gov.
