Resources Created to Assist During Public Release of Data
The Office of Assessment and Accountability (OAA) has created several resources to assist district leaders to prepare for the Public Release of Data in the School Report Card (SRC).
Note: The current release of data for spring 2021 will be called Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA). Switching to KSA was the original plan (Plan A) for Spring 2021. As current (i.e., the newest standards) standards have become operational in testing we have moved to the term KSA. Science has been called KSA for several years. Spring 2021 is bit of a transition to KSA for Reading, Mathematics and Writing On-Demand. In 2021, we used previously used items that measured both older and current standards. This allows the Performance Level definition of Novice, Apprentice, Proficient and Distinguished to remain consistent with past testing. Therefore, the release of Individual Student Reports (ISRs) and Summary Reports will be called KSA, not Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress (K-PREP).
KSA will be used in these public reporting resources and the media release.
The following data release resources on the Assessment and Accountability Resources page of the KDE website may be used to communicate the assessment data. These resources are easily opened and downloaded in Chrome.
2020-2021 Data Release PowerPoint Template – A customizable PowerPoint template for presentations to Boards of Education, School Based Decision Making (SBDM) Councils or public meetings. Instructions are included in the template for education leaders to customize the presentation. School leaders may add school or district level data to the presentation. Additional slides may be added, or slides may be deleted.
Parent Letters – Customizable letter templates for communicating with parents.
How to Prepare for Public Release 2021 – A helpful guide.
Questions about the resources may be submitted to dacinfo@education.ky.gov. There will be additional information sent in a Special DAC Email to districts closer to Public Release.
