  2. 2013 Accountability System

  3. Student Achievement Index I Performance Index Framework For 2013 and beyond, a framework of four Performance Indexes includes a broad set of measures that provide a comprehensive evaluation of the entire campus or district. Student Progress Index 2 Postsecondary Readiness Index 4 Closing Performance Gaps Index 3

  4. 2013 Index 1: Student Achievement Index 1 Student Achievement provides an overview of student performance based on satisfactory student achievement across all subjects for all students. • Subjects: Combined over Reading, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies. • Student Groups: All Students only • Performance Standards: Phase-in 1 Level II (Satisfactory)

  15. 2013 System Safeguards • Systems safeguards are designed to evaluate the disaggregated performance results of the state accountability system to ensure that poor performance in one area or one student group is not masked in the performance index. • Performance rates for system safeguards are calculated from the assessment results used to calculate performance rates in Index 1. • Targets for the disaggregated results are: • STAAR performance target corresponds to Index 1 (50%), • STAAR participation target required by federal accountability (95%), • Federal graduation rate targets and improvement calculations for 4-year rate (78%) and 5-year rate (83%), • Federal limit on use of alternate assessments (1% and 2%).

  16. 2014 System Safeguards • Systems safeguards are designed to evaluate the disaggregated performance results of the state accountability system to ensure that poor performance in one area or one student group is not masked in the performance index. • Performance rates for system safeguards are calculated from the assessment results used to calculate performance rates in Index 1. • Targets for the disaggregated results are: • STAAR performance target corresponds to Index 1 (TBD), • STAAR participation target required by federal accountability (95%), • Federal graduation rate targets and improvement calculations for 4-year rate (TBD) and 5-year rate (TBD), • Federal limit on use of alternate assessments (1% and 2%).

  17. 2013 Accountability Reports • A new system of accountability, distinction designations, and system safeguard reports allows for comprehensive data analysis of aggregate and student-level results. • Accountability Reports – Districts and Campuses • Accountability Summary Report • Calculation Reports (one for each performance index) • Data Tables (one for each performance index) • Distinction Designation Summary Reports – Campuses Only • Academic Achievement – Reading/ELA • Academic Achievement – Mathematics • Top 25% Student Progress

  18. 2013 Accountability Reports (continued) • System Safeguard Reports – Districts and Campuses • Three-page summary includes numerators, denominators, and rates for each of the subjects and student groups used in the calculation of System Safeguards:  Performance Rates; Participation Rates; Graduation Rates; and Federal Limits on Alternative Assessments. • Confidential Accountability Student Listings • Student listings provided on TEASE that show each student and the number of tests in each subject that were used to build Index 1. Additional information is available through the data download of the students’ test results in each subject area. • Confidential Consolidated Accountability File (CAF) • Single consolidated data file provided by Pearson in mid-July 2013 includes student test results for the Summer 2012, Fall 2012, and Spring 2013 test administrations.

  28. 2014 Performance Index Targets • 2014 Index Targets for Non-AEA Campuses and Districts • The 2014 Index targets will be finalized in spring 2014 by the commissioner based on the recommendations from accountability advisory groups that will be convened in late fall 2013.

  29. Accountability Advisory Committees • Accountability advisory groups will convene in fall 2013 to finalize recommendations for accountability ratings criteria and labels for 2014 and beyond and performance index targets for 2014—2016. • Early December 2013 – Accountability advisory groups convene to develop recommendations to Commissioner for accountability ratings criteria and labels for 2014 and beyond and performance index targets for 2014, 2015, and 2016 accountability ratings. • Spring 2014 – Commissioner announces accountability ratings criteria for 2014 and beyond and final 2014 targets, preliminary 2015 targets, and preview 2016 targets.

  30. Legislative Changes - 83rd Texas Legislature, 2013 • House Bill 5 • Expands the postsecondary readiness indicators evaluated for state accountability to include Texas Success Initiative (TSI) college readiness benchmarks and the number of students who earn postsecondary credit required for the foundation high school program, an associate’s degree, or an industry certification. • Expands distinction designations to districts and campuses for outstanding performance in attainment of postsecondary readiness. • Beginning in the 2016-17 school year, requires TEA to assign ratings of • A, B, C, D, or F to districts, and ratings of exemplary, recognized, acceptable, or unacceptable to campuses.

  31. Legislative Changes - 83rd Texas Legislature, 2013 • House Bill 5 - Community and Student Engagement • Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, districts will be required to evaluate community and student engagement compliance for the district and each of their campuses and assign a rating. The ratings are required to be reported to TEA by August 8, 2014. • The statute requires that districts assign a performance rating of exemplary, recognized, acceptable, or unacceptable based on locally-determined criteria. These performance ratings must be based on criteria developed by a local committee. Statute does not permit the Agency to determine the criteria that can be used for these evaluations. • TEA is required to develop a data collection system that allows districts to submit their locally-determined performance ratings for each campus in the district. TEA is also required to report these ratings publicly by October 1, 2014.

  32. Legislative Changes - 83rd Texas Legislature, 2013 • Senate Bill 1538 • Requires the evaluation of dropout recovery schools that are defined as: • serves students in grades 9-12; • has enrollment of which at least 50 percent of the students are 17 years of age or older as of September 1 of the school year; and • meets the eligibility requirements for and is registered under alternative education accountability procedures adopted by the commissioner. • Further modifications to the applicable indexes will be reviewed with the accountability advisory groups in fall 2013 to ensure all of the requirements of Senate Bill 1538 are met.
