E N D
Features of the System • No single indicator can lower a rating • Focuses on overall campus/district performance rather than the weakest performance of one student group/subject area • Rewards excellence based on other indicators in addition to state assessment results • Includes Postsecondary Readiness and Student Progress • Emphasis on Closing Achievement Gaps
Performance Index Criteria • 2013 Rating Labels: • Met Standard – met all performance index targets • Met Alternative Standard – met all modified performance index targets for alternative education campuses and districts • Improvement Required – did not meet one or more performance index targets • 2013 Transition Year: The 2013 ratings criteria and targets will stand alone because the performance index framework cannot be fully implemented in 2013.
Who: The “All Student” group only What: Satisfactory performance on Level II What: Combination of: 1) Advanced performance level and 2) Graduation rates with Diploma Plans Who: All 10 Student Groups Who: Eight student groups What: Progress to Satisfactory or Advanced Level in Reading and Math and Writing (EOC only) What: Credit for each percentage at Satisfactory or Advanced (double) Who: Eco Dis and lowest two performing groups from previous year
Performance Index Criteria • To receive a Met Standard rating, all campuses and districts must meet the following accountability targets on all indexes for which they have performance data in 2013. * Target will be set at about the fifth percentile of campus performance and will be applied to both campuses and districts.
AEA • Eligibility Criteria • Ten former eligibility criteria • AEC of choice must primarily serve secondary students in Grades 6-12 • Residential facilities not evaluated in 2013 • Modified Indicator Definitions and Index Construction • Index 4: Postsecondary Readiness • Graduation Rate • Credit for GED recipients • Four-year, five-year, and six-year rates • Bonus Points for RHSP/DAP graduates • Bonus Points for Recovered Dropouts who Graduate or Earn GED • Bonus Points for Continuing Students who Graduate or Earn GED • Graduation and GED Rates = 75%, Final STAAR Level II Rates = 25%
System Safeguards • Disaggregated performance rates based on the target for student achievement in Index 1 • Participation, graduation rates, and limits on use of STAAR Alternate and STAAR Modified are calculated to meet federal requirements. • Results reported for any cell that meets minimum size requirements • If a campus or district does not meet the safeguard target on any measure, this must be incorporated into the Campus and/or District Improvement Plan(s) and the Texas Accountability Intervention System (TAIS). • These missed measures will not automatically result in an unsatisfactory accountability rating
