DPAS II: Component V
Group 1:
ELA, Math, Special Education
The Process:
Step 1:
• MUST use a minimum of two (2) measures
• MUST use Measure A for all students assessed by DCAS in reading and/or math for grades three (3)
through ten (10)
• MUST use at least one (1) Measure B
• Measure A and Measure B weighted 50% each
EX: Measure A—DCAS
Measure B—1 internal measure (MAPS recommended)
Step 2:
Administer the assessments (DCAS and internal measure)
Step 3:
Using assessment data, create your goal
Use the Student Growth Projections on the Achievement Status and Growth
Report in order to inform their goals/targets.
Ex: 80% of students will increase their RIT score by X number/points on the RIT
Scale on the Spring MAP-R or MAP-M Assessment.
Step 4:
Choose your class list or cohort
Content teacher: typically all the students assigned to you
Special educators: it is recommended to have your case load
and add more to your cohort
*If you remove or add any students you must justify
Step 5:
Conference with administrator
Step 6:
Collect data
Step 7:
Re-meet with administrator in spring; look at class lists; analyze data
