(a) Schools Serving
				High Schools and Grades below High School.
(i) Traditional schools that serve students
				in high school grades and grades below high school receive weighted average
				indicator scores for the high school grades and for the grades below high
				school.
(ii) These separate
				weighted average indicator scores are then combined into one overall weighted

				score is further weighted to reflect the count of students tested on the state
				test in high school grades versus the count of students tested on the state
				test in the grades below high school.
Wyoming Administrative Code › Agency 206 - Education, Dept. of › Sub-Agency 0002 - General Agency, Board or Commission Rules › Chapter 47 - WYOMING ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM › Section 47-11 - Participation Rate

Current through July 13, 2024
(a) Participation
				Rate on State Achievement Test.
(i) Each
				Wyoming school shall test students at a rate at or above 95% on the state
				achievement test.
(ii) Two
				participation calculations are applied to each school. First, participation
				calculations are computed for all students enrolled in the school during the
				testing window. Second, participation calculations are computed for all FAY
				students at a school (i.e., with non-FAY students excluded).
(iii) A simple participation rate is the
				number of students who tested, divided by the number of students who should
				have tested at the school.
(iv)
				Whenever the 95% participation rate requirement would require a simple
				participation rate greater than 95%, the one additional non-participant rule
				will be applied.
(v) Participation
				rates are computed at the test score level rather than the student level. The
				Department shall set a target for the number of tests that need to be
				administered and scored at the school for the requirement to be met.
(vi) The minimum
n
for
				participation is 10 students. When students from prior school years are
				included through the lookback process described in Section 12 of these rules in
				order to meet the minimum
n
for the achievement indicator, the
				prior years that are used for that purpose are also included for the
				participation rate computations.
(vii) When a school does not meet the 95%
				participation rate requirement for all enrolled students, the Department shall
				increase the denominator on the Achievement indicator by the difference between
				the number of students necessary to reach the 95% requirement and the number of
				students tested.

Current through July 13, 2024
(a) For
				accountability decisions, the minimum number of students (
n
)
				needed in order to produce a score on an indicator is 10.
(b) For schools with fewer than 10 students
				on an indicator, the performance of students from a prior school year is
				combined with the performance of students from the current year (i.e., a
				one-year lookback). If there are still fewer than 10 students on the indicator,
				the performance of students from two prior school years is combined with that
				of students from the current year (i.e., a two-year lookback). If there are
				still fewer than 10 students on the indicator, the school does not have a score
				on that indicator.
(c) Traditional
				schools must have at least 10 students in the consolidated subgroup in order to
				receive a target level for the equity indicator.

(a) The Department
				shall review the school's performance on all indicators. The Department shall
				identify indicators with below target student performance.
(b) A small school shall submit an
				improvement plan that addresses the identified indicators. These plans are due
				November 1st of each year, except for years in which there is a significant
				change to the statewide assessment system or the statewide accountability
				system. If the Board determines that a significant change has occurred, the
				plans are due on February 1st of the following year. In developing an
				improvement plan, the school shall analyze performance on the identified
				indicators.
(c) The improvement
				plan shall include:
(i) A description of how
				performance data beyond those from WAEA will be used to track student
				performance and improve student learning.
(ii) A description of the school's strategies
				for improving performance on the specified WAEA indicator(s).
(iii) A description of the school's
				systematic process for regular review of individual student
				performance.

(a) "Diagnostic
				Assessment" refers to a tool administered to an individual student in order to
				determine strengths and pinpoint specific areas of need in order to guide
				instruction or intervention.
(b)
				"Evidence Based" practices refer to assessment, instruction, and intervention
				practices that have been tested and described through rigorously designed, peer

(iii) Standardized:
(A) The assessment is given in the same
				manner to all students including questions, process, and scoring.
(B) The assessment is not adaptive in that it
				does not adjust the difficulty or complexity of the items presented to the
				student based on the prior performance of the student.
(iv) Predictive: has a high level of
				predictability of which students are most likely to reach grade level
				foundational reading skills expectations given their current progress and those
				most likely to have reading difficulties.
(v) Reliable: the measure is likely to yield
				the same result if it were to be given several times on the same day in the
				same context.
(vi) Valid: the test
				measures what it is intended to measure (construct validity), corresponds well
				to other known valid measures (concurrent validity), and predicts with good
				accuracy how students are likely to perform foundational reading skills in the
				future. (predictive validity).
(vii) If districts would like to use a
				screening instrument not on the pre-approved list, they must complete an
				approval request and have the screening instrument evaluated and approved prior
				to implementing the chosen screening instrument for purposes of meeting the
				statutory requirements. Review does not guarantee approval.
