  2. Student Assessments Administered • Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) • TAKS-Accommodated (TAKS-A) • TAKS-Modified (TAKS-M) • TAKS-Alternate (TAKS-Alt) • Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) • Linguistically Accommodated Test (LAT-TAKS)

  3. Uses of Assessment Data • Instructional improvement • Progress reports to parents • State and Federal accountability determinations

  4. What’s New for 2011? • Results now reflect inclusion of allTAKS-Modified and TAKS-Alternate tests • Elimination of the Texas Projection Measure (TPM) for ratings purposes • 5 more indicators added: • Commended Performance (4) • ELL Progress Measure • Math and Science Academically Acceptablestandards increased (5% each)

  5. How did we do . . . . . . in general?

  6. Academic Performance:Accountability Subset TAKS “Met standard” TAKs “commended Performance” and “ell progress measure”

  7. How did we do . . . . . . by subject and grade?

  8. Reading/English Language Arts

  9. Math

  10. Writing

  11. Science

  12. Social Studies

  14. How are we doing . . . . . . in closing achievement gaps?

  15. Reading/ELA 21% 45%

  16. Writing 38%

  17. Science 35% 54%

  18. Math 17% 40%

  19. Social Studies 46%

  20. How are Texas districts and schools held accountable? State Accountability Ratings Federal Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

  21. State Accountability Ratings • Districts and campuses are rated based on: • TAKS “Met Standard” rates (including all TAKS-Accommodated, TAKS-Modified, and TAKS-Alternate scores) • TAKS “Commended” rates for Reading/ELA and Math (“All Students” and “Economically Disadvantaged Students” only) • English Language Learners (ELL) Progress Measure • Completion Rate I (districts and high schools) • Grade 7 – 8 Annual Dropout Rate (districts and middle schools) • The possible ratings are: • Exemplary • Recognized • Academically Acceptable • Academically Unacceptable

  22. Campus Accountability Ratings History Pending appeal, Berkman’sAcceptable rating could be raised to Recognized

  23. ROUND ROCK ISD Ratings History *Although the District’s academic performance met the standard for a Recognizedrating, accountability rules state that a district with a campus rated Academically Unacceptable cannot be rated Recognizedor Exemplary

  24. State Accountability: Alternative Education Programs • Alternative Education programs are rated based on: • TAKS Progress Indicator (single measure) • ELL Progress Measure • Annual Dropout Rate (Grades 7-12) • Completion Rate II • The possible ratings are: • AEA: Academically Acceptable • AEA: Academically Unacceptable • Our SUCCESS Program is • AEA: Academically Acceptable 24

  25. Federal Ratings:Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) • AYP Ratings are based on 7 student groups: • Performance on reading and math tests (alltest versions) • Participation in reading and math assessments (95%) • Graduation Rate (75%) • Attendance Rate (90%) • Performance standards increased this year: • Reading/ELA – from 73% to 80% • Math – from 67% to 75% • TPM was eliminated for AYP purposes this year • The possible ratings are: • Met AYP • Missed AYP

  26. District AYP Results • RRISD “Missed AYP” for the first time this year • Special Ed Reading/ELA Performance • Exceeded 3% Federal Cap

  27. AYP Campus Ratings History

  28. TAKS to STAAR Transition A New Era of Assessments and Accountability

  29. STAAR: A Quick Refresher! • STAAR includes • Grades 3 – 8 subject area tests • 12 End of Course (EOC) exams • More rigorous than TAKS • This year’s 9th graders will be the first class of students graduating under EOC’s

  30. STAAR Performance Standards • Standards for EOC will be set in February 2012 and performance reports will be available in June 2012 after first May administration • Standards for STAAR grades 3 – 8 will not be set until fall2012, after first spring administration • Only one administration of reading and math at grades 5 and 8 since no passing standards established • Performance reports for grades 3 – 8 delayed until fall 2012

  31. STAAR Performance Labels • Level III: Advanced Academic Performance • Students are well prepared for next grade or course. For Algebra II and ELA III, this level will indicate college readiness • Level II: Satisfactory Academic Performance • Students are sufficiently prepared for next grade or course. • Level I: Unsatisfactory Academic Performance • Students are not adequately prepared for next grade or course.

  32. STAAR Implementation Updates • Beginning with Spring 2012 test administration, there will be a 4-hour time limit for both STAAR EOC and STAAR grades 3 – 8 assessments • Will allow special requests for extended time • There will be make-up opportunities for allgrades and subjects, not just those used for AYP • Dyslexia accommodations will be expanded to high school students

  33. STAAR Implementation Updates • Linguistic accommodations will be available for most STAAR assessments, not just those used for AYP • LAT results will be used for state accountability ratings • TEA has indicated that there will be a testing “window”for both STAAR 3 – 8 and STAAR EOCs (except for ELA and writing) as opposed to specific tests on specific days

  34. STAAR Implementation Updates • Back-graded 9th graders in 2011-12 will be graduating under TAKS, but no 9th grade TAKS test will be available • Repeat 9th graders cannot take EOCs • These students are likely to go three years with no assessment until the exit-level TAKS • No longer a separate “Accommodated” form • “Accommodations” built into single test form

  35. STAAR Implementation Challenges • TEA will intensify test security/data integrity monitoring • Increased demands on resources: • Professional development • Accelerated instruction required • Test administration and oversight increases (more tests and retests) • Materials management burden increases • Complexity in tracking graduation requirements increases • Integration of 15% grade requirement • More calculators and dictionaries required for STAAR/EOC

  36. State Accountability - 2012 2011 and 2013 will be considered “consecutive” ratings years for state ratings AYP ratings will NOT be suspended in 2012! (Reading/ELA: 87%, Math: 83%)

  37. State Accountability - 2013 • Several coordinated efforts will be starting soon to develop: • New state accountability rating system • New federal AYP system • New state distinction designations • New PBMAS system • New state accountability reports (no longer AEIS?) • Possibly new alternative ed accountability procedures

  38. Goals Guiding Development of New State Accountability System Focus shifts from minimum standards to standards based on postsecondary readiness Ensure Texas is among top 10 states in postsecondary readiness and students graduating under RHSP/DAP plans by 2020 “Recognized” and “Exemplary” distinction ratings are based on student performance on college readiness standardsrather than higher percentages of students performing at the satisfactory level

  39. Goals Guiding Development of New State Accountability System Campus distinctions are based on student progressand closing achievement gaps Campuses also have the ability to earn distinctions on broader indicators of excellence beyond just state assessments Reports provide detailed academic and financial information that is relevant, meaningful, and easily accessible to the public State and federal accountability requirements are aligned to the greatest extent possible

  40. Components of New System

  41. Commended Performance:Barometer for College Readiness?

  42. EOC Performance Data:State and RRISD

  43. What’s Next? • School Start Window closes September 30 • Appeal decisions announced in late October, along with final ratings • Gold Performance Acknowledgments will be announced in late October • AEIS reports will be available in November • School Report Cards will be released in early December • List of Public Education Grant (PEG) campuses will be released in December
