Please use the above table to identify the accountability criteria and disaggregated groups for which the school will use Contract for Excellence funds to close the achievement gap and the percent of the targeted gap reduction. In Column 1, the following accountability criteria may be entered:  Grade 3-8 English language arts, Grade 3-8 mathematics, high school English language arts, high school mathematics, elementary-middle science, and graduation rate.  In Column 2, the following disaggregated groups may be entered: All students, Asian, Black, Hispanic, Multicultural, Native American, White, Limited English proficient, low-income, and students with disabilities.  In Column 3, enter the targeted percentage by which the school intends to close the gap between a Performance Index of 200 and the school’s Performance Index in 2006-07 for the specified accountability criterion and disaggregated group.

 

The identified accountability criteria and disaggregated groups should be focused on those for which the school has failed to make Adequate Yearly Progress in past years.  The specified percent gap reduction should be a minimum of ten percent. Please add additional rows as needed if the school will target more eight disaggregated groups.

 

If Contract for Excellence funds are not being targeted to help a school demonstrate gap reduction on an accountability criterion in 2007-08 (for example, implementation of all day pre-kindergarten programs or reduction of class sizes in grades K-2 will not have an immediate impact on AYP in 2007-08), please use the table on the following page to indicate the achievement targets for these funds.

 

Please prepare your achievement targets for your 2007-08 Contract for Excellence in an Excel format and submit it to the following E-mail address: EMSCMGTS@MAIL.NYSED.GOV.

Attachment B:  Contract for Excellence Goals for Schools Not Subject to AYP Determinations Using State Assessments

The form below is to be used by schools that will in 2007-08 participate in Self-Assessment of School Performance Program. (Schools typically participate in the self-assessment program if the highest grade of enrollment in the school is Kindergarten, the school is a high school that has not yet graduated a class, the school is new, or the school has insufficient numbers of continuously enrolled students to be held accountable using Grade 3-8 or high school State assessments.)  Schools that are participating in the Self-Assessment program for 2006-07 school year results are encouraged to review their submission when completing this form.  This table may also be used for schools that are targeting C4E funds in ways that are not intended to result in a school making AYP with a group of students in 07-08 (For example a K-5 building that will reduce class sizes in Grade 1 in 07-08.)  This form may also be used for schools participating in State assessments but where Contract funds are being used to support improvement in results for students who do not participate in State assessments.
