School Improvement Update

EdYes! is becoming MI-SAAS (Michigan School Accreditation and Accountability System)

Category 1: Student Proficiency and Improvement (Statewide Top to Bottom Ranking) on all tested content areas

• Proficiency - Two-year average• Improvement – 2-year average increasing or decreasing in ELA and math or

four-year slope for writing, science, and social studies (elementary/middle) or all-subjects (HS)

• * Ranking less than 5% - unaccredited• * Ranking greater than 5% and less than 20% - interim • * Ranking 20% or greater - accredited

Category 2: Persistently Lowest Achieving (PLA) Schools list – If a school is on the PLA list, the initial accreditation status becomes “unaccredited”.

Category 3: Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) status – If a school fails to make AYP AND the initial accreditation status is “Accredited” THEN the initial accreditation status is lowered to “Interim.” AYP alone cannot drop you to “Unaccredited.”

Category Four

1. Do 100% of school staff hold Michigan certification (different from highly qualified)?

2. Is the school's annual School Improvement Plan published?

3. Are required curricula offered: Grade Level Content Expectations in grades K-8, MMC in grades 9 - 12?

4. Is a fully compliant Annual Report published?

5. Have the School Performance Indicators (40 or 90) been submitted?

6. Are literacy and math tested annually in grades 1 – 5?

7. Is the five-year high school graduation rate 80% or above OR Is the attendance rate 90% or above if the school does not have a graduation rate?

8. If the school was selected to participate in NAEP, did it do so?

9. Did the school test 95% of all students in every tested content area?

If the answer is "no" to any question in two consecutive years, the accreditation status is lowered one level, even if the "no" is for a different question each year. 

It is expected that these nine items will be assurances located in the School Improvement plan.

One Common Voice – One PlanStep 10 - Monitor Plan Implementation

MONITOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN (FORMATIVE)

1. HOW ARE THESE PILLARS BEING IMPLEMENTED WITH FIDELITY BY ALL STAKEHOLDERS?

2. HOW IS STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT BEING IMPACTED?

EVALUATE THE PLAN (SUMMATIVE)

1. DID ALL STAKEHOLDERS IMPLEMENT THE PLAN WITH FIDELITY?

2. DID IT IMPACT STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN THE WAY WE THOUGHT IT WOULD?

ARE PEOPLE COMPLETING

THEIR ASSIGNED TASKS?

ARE WE IMPLEMENTING

THE PLAN CORRECTLY AND CONSISTENTLY?

ARE WE REGULARLY ANALYZING STUDENT

DATA?

DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS TO

MEASURE OUR MEASURABLE

OBJECTIVES OR DO WE NEED

OTHERS?

ARE WE GIVING THE PROCESS ENOUGH

TIME?

ENOUGH RESOURCES?
