DECISIONS SINCE SPRING 2013 ROSTER
VERIFICATION
Actual N Count = 11 Students
 Cumulative Count - Per tested grade/subject/course
“Active” N Count = 6 Students
 Similar in concept to an “FTE”; 6 “active” students
 Example: 11 actual students, each claimed for 50%
Instructional Responsibility, would equal 5.5 “active”
students” – not enough “active” students for a teacher to
get PVAAS teacher specific reporting in this subject/grade
Minimum Threshold for % Instructional
Responsibility: 10%
 All students need to be rostered
 <10% will not be included in a teacher’s analyses
