During the 1985-86 school year, an evaluation plan utilizing standardized norm-referenced test information was initiated within the Wichita Public School System in Kansas. The plan had four identifiable factors: (1) a growth measurement concept; (2) a simplified computation process; (3) a means of integration of growth measurement within user services; and (4) a means of balancing growth information within the evaluation process. The plan provided evaluation information based on the comparison of actual and predicted growth of test scores resulting from an annual administration of the norm-referenced tests to district students. Two factors that had a major impact on identification of the plan were wide differences of student populations in different schools in the district and an existing annual standardized testing program. Comprehension of the plan by teachers and principals was central to implementation. The impact of the plan on the evaluations of school improvement plans and of the principals has been inconclusive due to administrative changes within the district. The plan, however, has had a positive impact on the effective use of test information by the professional staff of the district. (TJH)
