37. Accelerated Instruction for High School Students Adds a new section to education code specific to providing accelerated instruction (AI) to high school students who fail to perform satisfactorily on required end-­‐of-­‐course exams. States that the AI may require participation before or after normal school hours and may include participation at times of the year outside of normal school operations. Mandates the AI be provided at no cost to the student.

38. Accelerated Instruction for High School Students Mandates that the district use appropriated compensatory education (CE) funds for the AI. Requires a district to separately budget CE funds for the AI and prohibits use of the funds for any other purpose until the district adopts a budget to support the AI. Requires a district to evaluate the effectiveness of the AI programs and hold an annual public hearing to consider the results. Increases the age of students considered “at-­‐risk” for dropping out of school from 21 to 26 years of age for CE eligibility purposes.

39. Highlights This presentation is for initial planning purposes only as we await implementation details and transition plans. Transcript Acknowledgment-performance acknowledgments, distinguished level, and endorsement on diploma and transcripts PEIMS must indicate # of students enrolled in foundation program, distinguished level, and endorsements, disaggregated by race, ethnicity, socioeconomic, gender, and special pops

42. Assessment This presentation is for initial planning purposes only as we await implementation details and transition plans.

43. Limits on Benchmark Testing Defines “benchmark assessment instrument” as a district-­‐required assessment instrument designed to prepare students for a corresponding state-­‐administered assessment instrument. Only allowed two per corresponding test Does not apply to ACT, SAT, etc Commissioner will make rules for SPED students

44. Assessment Options forSpecial Education This presentation is for initial planning purposes only as we await implementation details and transition plans. 2013-2014, alt assessments developed for special education students for whom standard assessments, even with accommodations, would be inappropriate, will not include assessments approved y the commissioner to measure growth. The assessment must, to the extent allowed by federal law, give districts options for student assessment. TEA, along with appropriate interested persons, must redevelop assessments for significantly cognitively disabled students for administration no later than 2014-2015. An assessment under this section may not require a teacher to prepare tasks or materials for a student who will take the alt test.

45. Highlights This presentation is for initial planning purposes only as we await implementation details and transition plans. • EOC cannot be used in Class Rank • Optional Alg II/Eng III • TEA to develop postsecondary readiness assessment for these courses for districts to admin at their option • Admin for the course-not the student • Before second full week in May • Results reported to TEA/State officials • Not used for Accountability, Teacher evaluations, or institutions of higher edfor admissions or TEXAS grant. • No benchmarks

46. Highlights This presentation is for initial planning purposes only as we await implementation details and transition plans. EOC Passing Standards… 2013-2014-students must pass all 5 EOC exams to graduate Students not meeting passing standard will retest EOC 15% of course requirement repealed

47. EOC Scores Required for Graduation • Requires TEA to adopt five end-­‐of-­‐course (EOC) exams, including: • English I (reading and writing on a single test and given one score) • English II (reading and writing on a single test and given one score) • Algebra I • Biology • U.S History

48. Update on English I and II EOC This presentation is for initial planning purposes only as we await implementation details and transition plans. In the 2011–2012 and 2012–2013 school years, students were required to take separate State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) English I and English II reading and writing assessments. To provide additional flexibility for these students during the transition period from separate assessments to combined reading and writing assessments, TEA is proposing to use the minimum—and cumulative—score concepts to determine whether students taking these separate assessments have met their English I and English II graduation requirements. These concepts would be applied within each course, not across courses, and would require students who took separate reading and writing assessments to meet three criteria:• pass one assessment (either reading or writing);• meet at least the minimum score on the other; and• achieve a combined scale score of 3750 (the phase-in 1 standard), which represents the sum of the scale scores needed to reach Level II for reading (1875) and Level II for writing (1875). In order to assist districts in identifying students that have met their English I and/or English II assessment graduation requirements, a file that lists the students who have met the above three criteria (and did not previously pass both reading and writing) will be provided to each district. A report identifying the scores for reading and writing as well as the combined score will also be provided for each student identified. This information will be sent in early October for students who have met the criteria as a result of their test performance. Administrations from spring 2012 through July 2013 will be used to make this determination. In addition, information about students who have met the criteria as a result of testing during December 2013 will be sent to districts after that administration.

49. ARD Committee and EOC This presentation is for initial planning purposes only as we await implementation details and transition plans. EOC Passing Standards… • A special Education student’s ARDC will decide whether the student must pass the EOC in order to graduate. A student who does not perform satisfactorily on an EOC may retake the exam, but is not required to retake the course. If a district determines that a rising senior is unlikely to pass an EOC, the district shall require the student to enroll in the corresponding college prep course, if available. The college prep course assessment can be used to satisfy the EOC requirement. • Applies to students who entered 9th in 2011-2012 or later • Students who entered 9th after 2011-2012, but before 2013-2014, may be administered only the tests as these sections are amended, in accordance with the transition plan as determined by the commissioner

50. EOC Scale Score Requires the commissioner to adopt rules requiring a student under the foundation program to be administered each of the five EOC exams required for graduation. Mandates that the commissioner determine a scale score that indicates satisfactory performance on each of the five EOC exams. Mandates that for each scale score not based on a 100-­‐point scale scoring system, the commissioner must provide for conversion, in accordance with commissioner rule, to an equivalent score based on a 100-­‐point scale scoring system. Applies this school year
