  9. Student Achievement Index I Performance Index Framework Accountability System Student Progress Index 2 Postsecondary Readiness Index 4 For 2013 and beyond, an accountability framework of four Performance Indexes includes a broad set of measures that provide a comprehensive evaluation of the campus or district. Closing Performance Gaps Index 3 Texas Education Agency | Office of Assessment and Accountability | Division of Performance Reporting

  10. 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. • Combined over All Subjects: Reading, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies. • Student Group: All Students. • Performance Standards: Phase-in 1 Level II (Satisfactory). Texas Education Agency | Office of Assessment and Accountability | Division of Performance Reporting

  11. Index 1: Student Achievement Index 1: ConstructionSince Index 1 has only one indicator, the Total Index Points and Index Score are the same: Index Score = Total Index Points. Total Index Points is the percentage of assessments that meet the Phase-in 1 Level II Standard. Each percent of students meeting the Phase-in 1 Level II performance standard contributes one point to the index. Index scores range from 0 to 100 for all campuses and districts. Texas Education Agency | Office of Assessment and Accountability | Division of Performance Reporting

  12. Index 1: Student Achievement Index 1: 2013 vs. 2014 Comparison • 2013 • Combined over All Subjects: Reading, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies. • Student Groups: All Students. • Performance Standards: Phase-in 1 Level II (Satisfactory). • STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) Assessments (15 total): • English l – Reading; English ll – Reading; English lll – Reading • English l – Writing; English ll – Writing; English lll – Writing • Algebra l; Geometry; Algebra ll • Biology; Chemistry; Physics • World Geography; World History; US History • English Language Learners (English and Spanish tests): • Students in US schools Year 1 - Year 3 excluded • Students in US schools Year 4 and beyond included • Proposed 2014 • Combined over All Subjects: Reading, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies. • Student Groups: All Students. • Performance Standards: Phase-in 1 Level II (Satisfactory). • English Language Learners (English and Spanish tests): • Students in US schools Year 1 excluded • STAAR EOC Assessments (5 total): • English l (combined tests); English ll (combined tests) beginning in spring 2014 • Algebra l • Biology • US History • Students in US schools Year 2 and beyond included • ELL Progress Measure included for those tested in English Shaded areas are new for 2014 Texas Education Agency | Office of Assessment and Accountability | Division of Performance Reporting

  13. Index 2: Student Progress Index 2: Student Progress focuses on actual student growth independent of overall achievement levels for each race/ethnicity student group, students with disabilities, and English language learners. • By Subject Area: Reading, Mathematics, and Writing (for available grades). • Points based on weighted performance: • One point given for each percentage of tests at the Met progress level. • Two points given for each percentage of tests at the Exceeded progresslevel. • Additional progress measures in 2014: STAAR-M, STAAR-Alt, and ELL. • Additional progress measures in 2014: STAAR-M, STAAR-Alt, and English Language Learners (ELL).

TEA will report these ratings publicly by October 1, 2014. Texas Education Agency | Office of Assessment and Accountability | Division of Performance Reporting

  40. System Safeguards Safeguard Measures and Targets: • Reporting system disaggregates performance by student group, performance level, and subject area. • Performance rates arecalculatedfrom the assessment results used to calculate Index 1: Student Achievement. • 2013 targets for the disaggregated system-safeguard results: • 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%); and • Federal limit on use of alternate assessments (1% and 2%).

  41. System Safeguards 2013 Accountability System Safeguard Measures and Targets * Targets for 2013 correspond to the performance target for Index 1: Student Achievement. Texas Education Agency | Office of Assessment and Accountability | Division of Performance Reporting

  42. System Safeguards • Results will be reported for any groupthat meets accountability minimum size criteria. • Failure to meet the safeguard target for any reported groupmust be addressed in the campus or district improvement plan. • Performance on the safeguard measures will be incorporated into the Texas Accountability Intervention System (TAIS). • See Accountability Monitoring website for further information: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/pmi/accountabilitymonitoring/ Texas Education Agency | Office of Assessment and Accountability | Division of Performance Reporting

Texas Education Agency | Office of Assessment and Accountability | Division of Performance Reporting

  44. Overview of Federal Accountability • Note that performance information must be reported at the 2012-13 federally approved target of 75% for the following: • Title III Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs), using only the ELL performance and participation information; and, • USDE Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) State Performance Plan (SPP) and State Annual Performance Report (APR) that measure the students served by special education programs. • Resources: • 2013 Accountability Manual: Chapter 10 - Federal Accountability and Appendix K - System Safeguards and Federal Accountability Requirements • http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/perfreport/account/2013/manual/index.html Texas Education Agency | Office of Assessment and Accountability | Division of Performance Reporting
