This session covers three years of trends with the SBAC Interims. The 2020 analysis looked at matched pairs of students that took the same topical area assessment in FY19 and FY20. Results indicate there are challenges with this set of students. Average scores declined in a significant fashion albeit in content areas that had previously been seen to produce little growth. The 2019 analysis looked at trends among students that participated and did not participate in the assessments. Students that participated had statistically significant higher outcomes than non participating peers. The 2018 analysis looked at the subject areas in order to see what assessments were more effective in producing growth.
