  1. Overview of the Accountability Rating Systemfor Texas Public Schools and Districts • Accountability System

  2. Statutory Requirements of House Bill 3 (2009) • Focus on Postsecondary Readiness • Inclusion of Student Progress • Emphasis on Closing Achievement Gaps • New STAAR program with EOC-based assessments for middle schools and high schools • Lessons learned from previous state accountability rating systems • Successful models used by other states, e.g. CA, CO, FL, GA, KY, LA, OH, OK, NC, SC Framework Development Process • Accountability System

  3. Overview of Proposed Performance Index Framework

  4. Student Achievement • Index I • All Students Only (Accountability Subset) • Combined over All Subject Areas • Credit given for Satisfactory performance level (Level II) phase-inon: • STAAR English (Grades 3-8) and Spanish (Grades 3-5) administered in the spring; first retest included. • EOC assessments administered in the spring and the previous fall and summer. • Credit given for Satisfactory performance level (Level II) phase-inon: • STAAR Grades 3-8 and EOC Modified and Alternate; • STAAR L (linguistically accommodated) are included based on the ATAC ELL Workgroup recommendations; • TAKS included in 2013 only: Grade 11 results at Met Standard performance standard. STAAR Satisfactory Performance

  5. Student Achievement • Index I • ELL Exclusions: • 2013: • Students in U.S. schools Year 1 through Year 3 excluded • Students in U.S. schools Year 4 and beyond included at phase-in Level II standard • Exceptions: asylees/refugees in U.S. schools Year 1 through Year 5 excluded; immigrants entering at Grade 9 or above excluded STAAR Satisfactory Performance

  6. Student Achievement • Index I • ELL Exclusions: • Proposed 2014 and beyond: • Students in U.S. schools Year 1 excluded • Students in U.S. schools Year 2 through Year 4 included based on test version: • English test version using STAAR ELL Progress Measure; • Spanish test version using phase-in Level II performance standard • Students in U.S. schools Year 5 and beyond included at phase-in Level II performance standard • Exceptions: asylees/refugees in U.S. schools Year 1 through Year 5 excluded; immigrants entering at Grade 9 or above excluded STAAR Satisfactory Performance

  7. Student Achievement • Index I Scoring Table

  8. Ten Student Groups Evaluated: • All Students • Race/Ethnicity: • African American, American Indian, Asian, Hispanic, • Pacific Islander, White • Two or More Races • Students with Disabilities (SWD) • English Language Learners (ELLs) • By Subject Area (Reading, Mathematics, and Writing) • Student Progress • Index 2 Student Progress toward Satisfactory or Advanced Performance Levels

  9. Same assessments used in Index 1 where student progress measures are available based on scale score in relation to growth expectations (Did Not Meet, Met, and Exceeded) • Credit based on weighted performance: • One point given for each percentage of students at the Met growth expectations level • Two points given for each percentage of students at the Exceeded growth expectations level • Student Progress • Index 2 Student Progress toward Satisfactory or Advanced Performance Levels

  10. ELL Exclusions: • English test version results • 2013: ELL Excluded • Proposed 2014 and beyond: • Students in U.S. schools Year 1 excluded • Students in U.S. schools Year 2 and beyond included using STAAR ELL Progress Measure • Exception: asylees/refugees in U.S. schools Year 1 through Year 5 excluded • Student Progress • Index 2 Student Progress toward Satisfactory or Advanced Performance Levels

  11. ELL Exclusions: • Spanish test version results • 2013: • Students in U.S. schools Year 1 through Year 3 excluded • Students in U.S. schools Year 4 and beyond included using STAAR growth measure • Exception: asylees/refugees in U.S. schools Year 1 through Year 5 excluded • Proposed 2014 and beyond: • Students in U.S. schools Year 1 excluded • Students in U.S. schools Year 2 and beyond included using STAAR growth measure • Exception: asylees/refugees in U.S. schools Year 1 through Year 5 excluded • Student Progress • Index 2 Student Progress toward Satisfactory or Advanced Performance Levels

  14. All Economically Disadvantaged Students and Lowest Performing Racial/Ethnic Groups based on the Index 1 student achievement indicator reported in the prior year • If campus has three or more Racial/Ethnic Groups, only lowest two included; If campus has two Racial/Ethnic Groups, only lowest included; If campus has only one Racial/Ethnic Group, it is not included • By Subject Area (Reading/ELA, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies) • Same Assessments Used in Index 1 • Credit based on weighted performance: • One point credit given for each percentage of students meeting the phase-in Level II performance standard • Two points credit given for each percentage of students at the Level III Advanced performance standard (2014 and beyond) • Closing Performance Gaps • Index 3 Achievement Gaps Measured for Satisfactory and Advanced Levels

  15. ELL Exclusions: • 2013: • Students in U.S. schools Year 1 through Year 3 excluded • Students in U.S. schools Year 4 and beyond included at phase-in Level II performance standard • Exceptions: asylees/refugees in U.S. schools Year 1 through Year 5 excluded; immigrants entering at Grade 9 or above excluded • Closing Performance Gaps • Index 3 Achievement Gaps Measured for Satisfactory and Advanced Levels

  16. ELL Exclusions: • Proposed 2014 and beyond: • Students in U.S. schools Year 1 excluded • Students in U.S. schools Year 2 through Year 4 included based on test version: • English test version using STAAR ELL Progress Measure; • Spanish test version using phase-in Level II performance standard • Students in U.S. schools Year 5 and beyond included at phase-in Level II performance standard • Exceptions: asylees/refugees in U.S. schools Year 1 through Year 5 excluded; immigrants entering at Grade 9 or above excluded • Closing Performance Gaps • Index 3 Achievement Gaps Measured for Satisfactory and Advanced Levels

  19. Credit based on average of two postsecondary indicators: STAAR postsecondary readiness standard (final Level II) – 2014 + High school graduation rates and diploma plans • STAAR Postsecondary Readiness • Eight Student Groups Evaluated: All Students and each Race/Ethnicity • Combined over All Subject Areas • Credit given for meeting postsecondary readiness standard (final Level II) on one or more tests - 2014 and beyond. • High School Graduation • Four-year Graduation Rate or Five-year Graduation Rate (or Annual Dropout Rate if no graduation rate) • Ten Student Groups Evaluated: All Students, each Race/Ethnicity, Students with Disabilities, and ELLs • Percent Recommended or Distinguished Achievement (Advanced) High School Program Plan (RHSP/AHSP) Graduates • Eight Student Groups Evaluated: All Students and each Race/Ethnicity Measures of Postsecondary Readiness • Postsecondary Readiness • Index 4

  21. Scoring Table: High Schools with a Graduation Rate • Postsecondary Readiness • Index 4

  22. Scoring Table: High Schools without a Graduation Rate • Postsecondary Readiness • Index 4 Annual Dropout Rate Conversion Formula: 100 – (Gr. 9-12 Annual Dropout Rate x 10), with a floor of zero

  23. Scoring Table: Elementary and Middle Schools • Postsecondary Readiness • Index 4

  24. State Accountability Ratings & Distinctions • Accountability System

  25. Performance Rates • 50% for all student groups in all subjects • Participation Rates • 95% for all student groups in Reading and Mathematics • Federal Graduation Rates • 4 year: 78% for all student groups • 5 year: 83% for all student groups • Limits on Use of Alternative Assessments • Modified = 2%; Alternate = 1% (Reading and Mathematics) Safeguard Measures and Targets • Accountability System

  26. HB 5 will not affect the ratings assigned this year on August 8th. • The number of EOC assessments required for graduation will affect the state rating system beginning with the 2013-2014 school year. • HB 5 requires ratings of A-F for districts and ratings of exemplary, recognized, acceptable, and unacceptable to campuses in 2016-2017. How will HB 5 Affect the Accountability System? • Accountability System

  27. ELL Growth Measure • Student Progress Measure • Intervention Requirements • State and Federal Reporting • AYP decision expected late June Pending Issues • Accountability System
