Overview

• Ohio is one of the few states with
• Standards.
• Required assessments for all standards.
• Data for all standards reported to the Ohio
  Department of Education.
• Performance rating on schools report card.
• Model curriculum.

3
Purpose

• Discuss what weve learned from the first year of
  implementation
• Summarized data from across the state.
• Profile of a school at each level.
• Teachers perception of the impact of the
  assessments.

Ohio Assessment Overview

• At the completion of 2012-13 (by June 2013)
  districts will report student progress towards
  the achievement of benchmarks.
• Part of schools report card, but not a
  high-stakes achievement test.
• Collect assessment data and report to ODE.
• Data is reported by school, not by individual
  student
• Assess and report student data once in the grade
  band, not in each grade.
• Assessments must be completed by the end of the
  benchmark.
• e.g. Assess students in Standard 1B in Grade 2
• NO WAIVERS for ASSESSMENTS.

Ohio Benchmark Assessment Scoring System

• 3, 2, 1 rating for each benchmark
• 3 Advanced
• 2 Proficient
• 1 Limited
• Leave blank if they could not participate (not
  calculated in summarized data)
• ODE provides an excel file to input data and
  automatically calculate data to report to ODE.
• 12 benchmark scores averaged together for an
  overall score for each student (Advanced,
  Proficient, Limited).
• Student score then used to calculate overall
  school score.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND WELLNESS MEASURE REPORT
CARD FORMAT FOR THE 2012-2013 SCHOOL YEAR
The Physical Education and Wellness Measure
provides information about a districts policies
and practices with regard to physical activity,
health and wellness. It will first appear on the
reports that are issued at the end of the
2012-2013 school year.
Physical Education Index Compliance with Local Wellness Policy Participation in Body Mass Index (BMI) Screening Participation in Physical Activity Pilot Program
MODERATE (Click HERE for detailed information about your district) YES (Click HERE for detailed information regarding the federal wellness policy) YES (Click HERE for detailed information regarding BMI screening requirements and waivers) NO (Click HERE for detailed information regarding participation in a Physical Activity Pilot Program)
The extent to which students are successful in meeting the benchmarks contained in Ohios physical education standards. Building composite score and overall district composite score determination will be High. Moderate or Low. Compliance with the federal requirement for implementing a local wellness policy. Overall district composite score will be a Yes or No. Compliance with completing BMI screening requirements instead of operating under a waiver. Overall district composite score will be a Yes if completed BMI screening or No if requesting a waiver, non-submission of waiver or non-completion of BMI screening. Whether the district is participating in the option of a daily Physical Activity Pilot Program. Overall district composite score will be a Yes or No.
