Next Generation Learners 2016-2017:
Achievement is unchanged
GAP: 50% of score from non-duplicated gap group percentage scoring Proficient/Distinguished in all content areas tested and 50% novice reduction targets in reading and math for individual student groups and non-duplicated gap group. Points will be awarded based on the percent of target met for novice reduction.
Growth: 50% of score from growth percentile in reading and math and then other 50% from the categorical growth model. The categorical growth model sums the number of students moving from a student performance level (NAPD) to a higher level, the number remaining in P/D divided by the total number of students.
Readiness: Unchanged.
Graduation Rate: Adjusted Cohort.
