Abstract

Over the last decade, large-scale annual testing has provided states with unprecedented access to longitudinal student data. Current use of this data focuses primarily upon analyses of growth directed toward accountability decisions. This paper introduces analysis techniques and results showing how student growth percentiles, a normative growth analysis technique, can be used to illuminate the relationship between standards-based accountability systems and the performance standards on which they are based.
