2. Substitute Assessments for EOC & CCMR

3. Substitute Assessments for EOCs
Plan for 2019 Accountability
Same rules as applied in 2018 Accountability
Students who meet standards established on substitute assessments treated as having achieved Meets Grade Level on corresponding STAAR EOCs
Plan for 2020 Accountability
TEA is currently exploring identifying cut points for Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, and Masters Grade Level on substitute assessments
TEA expects to implement differentiated performance levels on substitute assessments in 2020 Accountability
Students would then be included in accountability based on whether they met the standards for Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, or Masters Grade Level on substitute assessments

4. CCMR 2019 Accountability SAT/ACT tests OnRamps
For annual graduates, TEA will evaluate 4 years of SAT/ACT results: 2017–18, 2016–17, 2015–16, and 2014–15
TEA will use the BEST RESULT over those 4 years
OnRamps
OnRamps course completion data was collected for the first time in the 2017–18 school year
Students who earn course credit can elect whether or not to apply the credit to the student’s college transcript
TEA is researching the most appropriate way to award CCMR credit for OnRamps as part of the CCMR calculation for 2019 Accountability

5. ESSA-Mandated High School Test Requirements in Reading and Math
The “problem”
ESSA requires that each State ensure that students are assessed at least once while in high school in Reading and in Math
In Texas, some students complete STAAR EOC testing in Math and/or Reading while in middle school … and therefore are not required to take a test in Math and/or Reading while in high school
The “solution”
TEA proposed a rule (19 TAC § ) to require students who complete their Math and/or Reading EOC assessments while in middle school to take either SAT or ACT while in high school

6. proposed commissioner rule §101.3011
SO many questions …
when will this take effect? what class/year of students?
who pays for the testing?
will the SAT/ACT results count for performance in accountability?
how/when will results be factored into participation?
From Webinar 7 – Oct 19th
proposed commissioner rule §
Published August 24, 2018
Public comment through September 24, 2018

7. ESSA-Mandated High School Test Requirements in Reading and Math
TEA anticipates submitting a plan for peer review that proposes timelines by which students who take an EOC in middle school are also administered an assessment in high school
TEA is likely to seek a waiver on this issue for Accountability
