Why a Performance Index ?

With a performance Index, the resulting rating reflects overall performance for the campus or district rather than the weakest performance of one student group/subject area.

Multiple indexes can be used in the framework to ensure accountability for every student.

Any number of indicators and student groups can be added to the system without creating additional targets for campuses and districts to meet.

New Reports Calculation Report-Tables used to aggregate scores to determine Index Points Data Table- Table of disaggregated data used for the Calculation Report. The highlighted cells indicate data used in calculations.

Index 1: Student Achievement

No Minimum Size 3 year average if less than 10 students Which student groups are calculated in Index 1?

Index 1 :Student Achievement  Subjects: Combined over Reading, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies.  Tests: STAAR English, STAAR Spanish, EOC, STAAR and EOC Modified and Alternate, TAKS Grade 11  Performance Standards: Phase-in 1 Level II (2013)  MSR: None

What does the calculation report indicate about a campus? What would an Index score of 45 indicate about the campus?

What are the strengths and weaknesses of the campus based on the calculation report? What reflective questions would you ask the campus about this data? What are your unanswered questions about this campus based on the calculation report?

How is the data in Index 2 different from Index 1? How does improved performance on Index 2 impact the other Indexes? What advice would you give this campus to impact Index 2? (using the sample reports)

Index 3: Closing Performance Gaps

What you need to know to calculate Index 3?

Subjects…

STAAR English 3-8 and STAAR Spanish 3-5 at phase-in Level II EOC at phase-in Level II for spring, and the previous fall and summer STAAR 3-8 and EOC Modified and Alternative at Level II Retest results 5 and 8 from 1 st retest TAKS Grade 11 in 2013 Results include…

2 lowest performing race/ethnicity groups from the previous year Student Groups… Economically Disadvantaged African American American Indian Asian Hispanic Pacific Islander White Two or more races

Accountability Subset…

Minimum Group Size… >=25 for Race/Ethnicity groups

Methodology… Phase-in Level II and beyond- one point for each percent of students at the phase-in Level II performance standard and above Advanced Level III-2014 and beyond- one additional point for each percent of students at the Level III performance standard

Why is some of the data marked out? Why is only graduation rate and RHSP/DAP calculated in the sample report for Index 4 points?

System Safeguards

Purpose Ensure system disaggregates performance by student group, performance level, subject area, and grade Target for disaggregated results meet and exceed federal requirements – Performance Target – Participation Rate – Graduation rate targets and improvement – Limit on Alternative Assessments

Impact Results are reported for any cell that meets minimum size criteria. Failure to meet the safeguard target for any reported cell must be addressed Performance on the safeguard indicators are incorporated into the Texas Accountability Intervention System (TAIS)

How does the system safeguards ensure high expectations for all students? Using these sample reports, how would you advise a campus that met all Index standards but only 85% of the system safeguards?
