Upon completion of the common core standards adoption and development of common core assessments, there will be nationally developed common cut scores for proficiency (Mastery) based on common core assessment development.

41Why Transition to Internationally Rigorous Performance Cut Scores for WESTEST 2 2009 Cut Scores show that our Mastery Level cut scores compare at the lower levels of Basic on National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).at the D+ level on Trend In Math and Science Standards (TIMSS).

Conclusion: WV does not currently use cut scores that are as rigorous as national or international cut scores to determine Mastery Level for our students.

Recommendations: WV willdetermine and use transitional cut scores for Mastery that are increasingly aligned to more rigorous national and international cut scores anduse these cuts through 2014.

42How does WV Create National/ International Rigorous PerformanceCreate Transitional Cut Scores in 2010 (to be used thru 2014) Commit to 40% Mastery Level proficiency cut score per content area, per grade level. These cutswill place WV Mastery Level at the upper levels of Basic on NAEP.will place WV Mastery Level at C+ on TIMSS. Conclusions: The 40% cuts will create transitional cut scores for Mastery that align more to national/international rigor in 2010 . By 2014, a common cut score for Proficiency will be determined based on the products/research from the RTTT grants.

Recommendations:WV will use the transitional cuts through 2014. From 2015 onward, WV will use international Proficiency cut scores to determine Mastery.

Even when compared to states with similar demographics, we rank next to the last in most categories.While the national public average is increasing in most areas, WVs performance has flat lined or declined.

63So What Are the Data Telling Us and What Else Do We Need to Know and Do?WESTEST2There is not trend data due to newness of assessment.Student performance declines as students move from elementary to middle to high.There is a significant achievement gap between low SES and non-low SES and between males and females.There are far too few students scoring at above mastery and distinguished.

The formula creates an initial cohort for each graduating class starting with the first time 9th grade students four years ago. That cohort is followed through the four years of high schools. Students who transfer out of state (from that class) are removed from the cohort and students who transfer into the state (into that class) are added to the cohort. When this class reaches graduation, the graduation rate is calculated by dividing the graduates by the number of students remaining in the cohort. Dropout rate is percent of students in grades 7 through 12 who leave the school, before graduation or without transferring to another school
