Kentucky Association of School Councils

> GAP ANALYSIS (see NEW 24-hour option)
Our analysis is completely revised to reflect the changes happening in Kentucky. Our reports will show you for Reading, Math, and schoolwide what percent of your students are proficient, comparing each disaggregated group to the total school population. NCLB standards are included for goal-setting. Also, we've included district graphs in every school report to illustrate your district results. NEW features of the Gap Analysis: your report will arrive electronically, with a PowerPoint presentation of your school's numbers ready to share, and customizable letters to share with parents and the public. Districts can order any school's report for access to district numbers. Starts shipping October 7th.
FOR SCHOOLS: MEMBERS $35 (regular processing) or $50 (24-hour business day processing); NON-MEMBERS $50 (regular processing) or $100 (24-hour business day processing)

> TEST SCORE GRAPHING
Our KPR-based graphs take your analysis one step further, with graphs of data provided by the Transition Index included as a bonus. Your order includes the following graphs customized to your school: performance levels by subject (Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies, On-Demand Writing); performance levels by subject and student disaggregated group (female/male, white/African-American/Asian/Hispanic, Title I, free & reduced lunch, etc.); breakdown of performance on open-response and multiple-choice questions; breakdown of performance by subheadings within the core content subjects; Transition Index results and goals (adjusted back to 2007 and projected to 2014); Transition Index trends by student disaggregated groups; and Transition Index trends by subject. Included with your order will be one set of KASC pink analysis sheets to facilitate the study of your Overall Results and subject area results (Math, Reading, Science, Social Studies, On-Demand Writing).
MEMBERS $60; NON-MEMBERS $120

> BACK ISSUES OF INSIGHTS
Our newsletter is designed to give council members practical advice. Many councils use back issues as a helpful guide on basic accountability and testing issues. Copies of each issue are $7 for members, $12 for non-members

BASICS OF ACCOUNTABILITY: You get "begin at the beginning" explanations about what the state expects students to learn, how progress is measured, and what kind of improvement is expected.

CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP: This 2003 issue asked schools with the best test results for African-American students, students with disabilities, and high levels of students from low-income families to share what is working for them.

CARRYING OUT SB 168: A quick primer from 2002 on working through achievement gap data, deciding what gaps are substantive, setting improvement targets, building agreement, and revising school plans to fulfill the requirements of the law spawned by Senate Bill 168.

MONITORING PROGRESS TOWARD PROFICIENCY: This 2007 issue looks at ways schools are using benchmark tests and formative assessment to get more regular feedback on student performance and more opportunities to help students succeed.
