9 2012 AYP Summary of Texas Amendment Requests Evaluate 2012 AYP and School Improvement Program (SIP) statuses based on: 2011-12 TAKS results for grade 10, and 2011-12 STAAR results for grade 3-8 at the TAKS proficiency standard. 9

10 2012 AYP Summary of the Texas Amendment Requests In order to provide 2012 AYP results on a timely basis, Texas will use bridge studies that identify the existing TAKS performance standards on the new STAAR assessments for tests of grade 3–8 on which STAAR performance standards will not yet be available. The STAAR Bridge Study for AYP was approved by the USDE on February 17, 2012. The complete study is posted online at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/reportsSTAAR Bridge Study for AYP http://www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/reports 10

12 Overview of Accountability System for 2013 and Beyond 12

13 House Bill (HB) 3 Accountability Provisions Focus of district and campus performance is postsecondary readiness standards Rigorous standards ensure that Texas performs among top ten states by 2020 Higher ratings are distinctions based on higher levels of student performance 13

14 House Bill (HB) 3 Accountability Provisions Campuses earn distinctions for student growth and closing achievement gaps Campuses earn distinctions for excellence in areas other than state assessment results Reports are relevant, meaningful, and easily accessible State and federal accountability requirements are aligned to the extent possible 14

15 Accountability System for 2013 and Beyond Legislation provides new flexibility as well as constraints Every aspect of accountability system will be reevaluated New system may look very different from current system, not just variation on former systems used in Texas Seamless system of ratings – reporting – monitoring – interventions 15

16 New Accountability Indicators Considered End-of-Course (EOC) cumulative scores for cohorts of graduates Four-, five-, and six-year graduation rates Three-year average performance 16

17 New Frameworks Considered Performance Index Allows more indicators without more hurdles Rating based on overall performance rather than lowest performing area Interventions focus on specific problem areas 17

18 New Frameworks Considered Alignment of State/Federal Systems Broad goals in common postsecondary readiness, student progress, closing performance gaps Range of options Develop state system that meets federal requirements – replace Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) with new state system Separate AYP as component of state system 18

19 New Rating Labels Statutory labels removed Separate district ratings from elementary, middle, and high schools are possible Multiple degrees of acceptable/unacceptable statuses possible Higher ratings based on postsecondary ready Separate ratings for status and growth possible 19

20 New Progress Measures Developed Multiple measures developed for reporting Accountability indicators that do not count failing students as passing Required Improvement based on student growth measure possible Campus distinction designations for growth to postsecondary ready Closing performance gaps can be measured across achievement spectrum (scale scores or percentiles) 20

21 New Student Groups New race/ethnicity student group definitions produce seven groups Economically disadvantaged and non-economically disadvantaged in statute Limited English proficient (LEP) and special education in AYP blueprint Gap measures to evaluate student group performance 21

22 New Accountability Standards – New Issues Phase-in of State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) assessments Phase-in of student passing standard Phase-in of graduation requirements Percentiles or rankings versus accountability standards 22

23 2013 Accountability 23

24 Ratings Based on: STAAR Level II: Satisfactory Academic Performance (not Level III: Advanced Academic Performance) student passing standard TAKS grade 11 Met Standard 24

25 Ratings Rating labels will be acceptable/satisfactory and unacceptable/unsatisfactory only Recognized and Exemplary ratings will not be awarded in 2013 25

26 Data Growth measures not available for 2013 ratings Multiple growth measures being developed for reporting Accountability indicators that incorporate growth will be developed after 2013 results 26

27 Graduation/Dropout Rate Indicators Class of 2012 graduation/completion/dropout rates and 2011-2012 annual dropout rates released June 2013 The first cohort to graduate under EOC are the grade 10 students in the 2012-13 school year (most have not taken English III, Algebra II, Physics, U.S. History) 27

28 Distinction Designations Campus Academic Distinctions Developed via committees Reading/ELA and mathematics awarded in 2013 likely based on: Grades 3-8 STAAR advanced performance High school measures of college-readiness other than EOC Science and Social Studies will be phased in 28

29 Distinction Designations New Areas for Recognition Developed via committees 21 st Century Workforce Development Program scheduled to be awarded in 2013 Additional areas that will be phased in: fine arts, physical education, and second language acquisition program 29

30 Distinction Designations Additional distinctions for campuses based on top 25% in growth and closing performance gaps will not be awarded in 2013 These distinctions will likely be based on growth measures and the Level III: Advanced Academic Performance student passing standard that will not be evaluated until 2014. 30

31 Alternative Education Accountability (AEA) Options No separate system Same system for all in 2013, separate AEA procedures in 2014 Same system, different standards and/or growth measures 31

39 Advisory Groups – ATAC Expectations Attend up to five meetings at TEA offices in Austin between March 2012 and spring 2013; Actively and constructively participate during meetings; Solicit input from peers within their geographic region; Participate in at least one small work group that will meet between the ATAC meetings with TEA staff. 39

40 Advisory Groups – ATAC and APAC Process The smaller work groups will present their proposals at the main ATAC meetings. The ATAC committees final proposals will be reviewed by the Accountability Policy Advisory Committee (APAC). The APAC will provide feedback on the ATAC proposals to the commissioner of education. The commissioner will make final accountability decisions in spring 2013. 40
