7. Indicators: State Requirements • Other Indicators Dropout Rates Completion and Graduation Rates

8. Indicators: State Requirements • Required Improvement • Required Improvement will be a feature of the system. • Date Effective for Satisfactory Performance: 2013 • Date Effective for College Readiness Performance: 2014 • Options: • Improvement to Long-Term Goal • Improvement to Annual Accountability Standard • Reduction in Performance Gaps • Increasing Annual Standards • Improvement Across Multiple Years • Any Improvement or No Decline • Multi-Year Average Performance

9. Indicators: State Requirements • Three Year Average Performance A new statutory provision gives districts and campuses the option to use three-year average performance to meet an accountability standard when current year performance does not meet the standard.  Performance Indicators Dropout and District Completion Rates HS Graduation Indicator Date Effective: TBD Date Effective: 2013 Commissioner Rule

10. Indicators: Federal Requirements Reading/ELA Performance Math Performance Federal caps on alternative assessments  Reading/ELA Participation (95%) Math Participation (95%) Other Indicator

11. Options for Resolving Differences Add Science and Social Studies Performance Add Reading/ELA and Math Participation Implement federal caps on results of alternate assessments

12. Student Groups Required Groups State: Evaluation based on race/ethnicity and SES Federal: Evaluation based on race, SES, SPED, and LEP Groups being Considered Additional race/ethnicity groups: Asian, Multiracial, Other Not Economically Disadvantaged LEP, At Risk, Special Education

14. College Readiness STANDARD TBD, Effective 2014 Reading/ELA and Math Grades 3-8 and EOC SUBJECTS STUDENTS Required for 5 student groups Required Improvement, Effective 2014 Three-Year Average, Effective TBD ANY HELP?

15. Satisfactory performance on these assessments may be used as a factor when determining whether the student satisfies the cumulative score requirement for graduation: Pre ACT AP IB SAT PSAT The commissioner will determine whether these results will be factored in the assessment results used for state accountability.

16. Dropout/Grad/Completion Rate • State statute requires that six groups of students be removed from the dropout definition used for state accountability: • Previous dropouts; • Students who are not in membership for purposes of average daily attendance; • Students who have been ordered by courts to attend GED programs but have not earned GED certificates; • Students who are incarcerated in state jails and federal penitentiaries as adults and as persons certified to stand trial as adults; • Students whose initial enrollment in a school in the United States in grades 7–12 was as unschooled refugees or asylees; and • Students detained in county detention facilities that are located outside the students' home districts.

17. Dropout Rate Option 1 Use a longitudinal dropout rate for first-time ninth graders to measure how many students drop out before graduating. Option 2 Use an annual dropout rate to measure how many students drop out in one school year. • Option 2a: Use selected grades, i.e., grades 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and/or 12. • Option 2b: Use selected grade spans, i.e., grades 7–8, grades 9–12, and/or grades 7–12.

18. Graduation Rate TEA currently uses a four-year graduation rate that measures early or on-time graduation. However, some students take longer than four years to graduate.

19. Completion Rate Some advocate counting GED recipients as completers because a GED can be used for entrance into college and to obtain employment. A system control could be used that requires graduates to comprise a certain portion of the rate. # Graduates + Continuers +GED # Graduates + Continuers + GED + Dropouts

20. AEA Accountability Procedures NCLB requires that all campuses, including AECs, are evaluated in the federal accountability system. • The state accountability system has the option of including AEA procedures designed specifically to evaluate AECs. Options include: • Use Same Indicators and Standards as Regular Campuses. • Use Same Indicators, but Different Standards, as Regular Campuses • Develop Alternative Education Accountability Procedures

21. Ratings 2013 “Unacceptable” “Acceptable” Option A “Unacceptable” “Acceptable” “Recognized” “Exemplary” Option B “Unacceptable” “Acceptable” with Recognized & Exemplary Distinctions 2014

22. Ratings “ Recognized and Exemplary ratings are distinction designations for meeting higher college- and career-ready performance standards, rather than higher performance on the same indicators used for accountability ratings. “

23. Campus Distinction Designations + A Top 25% in Annual Improvement on STAAR Top25% in Performance Gap Reduction on STAAR Satisfy Criteria in Academic Achievement 21st Fine Arts Physical Education 21st Century Workforce Development Second Language Acquisition Program

24. Performance Reports Report to District: Comparisons for Annual Performance Assessment Report to Parents: Similar to Confidential Student Reports Teacher Report Card Campus Report Card Performance Report : Similar to AEIS Reports Comprehensive Annual Report
