Weighted Performance Level Change
{"Image DocumentName": "Weighted Performance Level Change", "Image ImageDescription": "Previous Proficiency. Significant Decline. Decline. Maintain. Improvement. Significant Improvement. Not Previously Proficient Previously Proficient. In grades 3-8 reading and mathematics improvement is calculated using a weighted composite of individual student performance level change. Rewards large improvements more heavily and rewards maintenance of proficiency if a student was already proficient. In reading and math in grades 3-8, where we have that performance level change available, we do weight that raw metric as described above. The weighted performance level change metric is designed to heavily reward significant improvements, reward improvements, reward maintenance of performance level for students who were already proficient and disincentivize all declines and significant declines. A ceiling clause is also implemented here such that any student who declines in performance level but remains in the top performance level can be considered to have maintained his or her performance level", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
