  • Special Analysis
    ASPIRE AWARDS Document Updated: December 2, 2011 ASPIRE Award for Teachers 2010–2011: Special Analysis Background Special Analysis refers to the alternative methods used to determine awards if staff are assigned to a campus where data are not available or where staff are not easily attributed to a single organization. This document describes the award exceptions and how they are calculated. Specific campuses which require Special Analysis are listed. For the regular methods used in award determination, please reference the document 2010–2011 ASPIRE Awards for Teachers, posted on the HISD ASPIRE portal, which also provides an overall description of the various strands segmented by staff category. Strand I: Campus Value-added Strand Strand I is based on the EVAAS®-generated campus value-added cumulative gain index (mean gain score adjusted by the standard error). It measures student performance across grades (3–11) and subjects (Reading, Math, Language Arts, Social Studies and Science) by producing a single mean NCE gain over grades relative to the growth standard. Several campuses did not have the student achievement data to allow for the calculation of the mean gain score. Also, there were schools with multiple organizational numbers which require adjustment in the payout. These campuses require Special Analysis. • Special Analysis Type I: Schools without a value-added cumulative gain index were matched with the campus with which they had the highest number of shared students over the past three years or equivalent strong relationship. The matched school provided the value-added cumulative gain index, the quartile ranking and the payout amounts for the campuses in this analysis group.
