<font size=2 face="sans-serif">So would students in high school also be
counted in the district gifted grade card? We service students 3-8th grades
only. Does that have any effect on the overall gifted grade? </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">So its only those who are sup. cog or
sup. academic in math and reading that count toward that gifted grade?
</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Yes, your email did help. Thanks.</font>

<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri">Hello Jeffrey,</font>
<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri">Gifted on the report card
this year is based on just one year’s data because it is the first time
the specific areas of giftedness have been disaggregated. The progress
of students identified as gifted in math and/or cognitive were counted
on math, and students identified as gifted in reading and/or cognitive
were counted in reading, based on the OAA tests in those subjects. It
is all children in the district counted as gifted in those specific areas
as reflected in EMIS, not just those children seen by the gifted specialist.
Those scores are then combined to come up with a composite score.</font>
<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri">However, you should know
that the calculation to determine the grade is based on a formula similar
to the teacher reports and not as it is calculated when you receive your
value added reports. The grade card takes the overall estimated gain
of the students and divides that by the standard error to come up with
a growth index. Then there is a chart that tells you the grade based
upon that growth index. A score equal or greater than 2 gives a district
an A. A score less than -2 gives a district or school an F. Keep
in mind that a C equates to average growth, meaning that they are performing
as expected. On the right side of the report card under progress
if you click on view more data you will see a breakdown by grade of the
district’s overall combined progress by grade level and under the colorful
chart is the breakdown of index scores and the grade associated with each.</font>
<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri">In contrast the value added
calculation takes the estimated mean gain of the group, and compares it
to the standard error. Anything beyond two standard errors gives
you an above average rating or a dark green. Anything below two standard
errors gives you a below expected growth or red. </font>

<br><font size=2 face="Arial">I have a few questions if anyone has some
idea to the answers I would appreciate it. A few of my colleagues were
in a meeting yesterday and were trying to figure out what were the subgroups
that gifted gets graded on for the state grade card. Going further, does
anyone know what factors go into the gifted grade on the grade state grade
card. Last year we recieved an 'F', but we were not sure of why. Can anyone
help so I can explain it to my colleagues?</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
