Future Ready PA Index
ESSA Every Student Succeeds Act
The Pennsylvania Department of Education has released the Future Ready PA Index. The website is https://futurereadypa.org.
From PDE: The Future Ready PA Index is a collection of school
progress measures related to school and student success. The Index
includes a range of assessment, on-track, and readiness indicators, to
more accurately report student learning, growth, and success in the
classroom and beyond. Future Ready PA Index contains the most recent
data available in the 2017-2018 school year.
The Future Ready PA Index will serve as Pennsylvania’s one-stop
location for comprehensive information about school success, and will
use a dashboard model to highlight how schools are performing and making
progress on multiple indicators.
The dashboard approach to school reporting:
- Increases emphasis on student growth measures, which incentivizes a
focus on all learners and is less sensitive to demographic variables.
- Measures English language acquisition among ELL students, not simply performance on a test of grade level ELA standards.
- Incentivizes career awareness instruction beginning at the elementary level.
- Addresses the issue of unequal weighting of content areas in the current SPP.
- Provides indicators of student success after graduation.
- Increases the emphasis on student access to course offerings such as AP, IB, college credit, and CTE programs of study.
- Allows LEAs to include locally-selected reading assessments (Grade
3) and math assessments (Grade 7) as additional snapshots of student
progress.
- Incentivizes schools to offer career pathways that culminate with high value, industry recognized credentials.
