System Safeguards and Campus Improvement Ty Duncan tduncan@esc17.net @instructionalle
Intervention Requirements for all Campuses rated Met Standard that Failed to Meet One or More System Safeguard Measures or Targets • Campuses rated Met Standard or Met Alternative Standard that failed to meet one or more system safeguard measures or targets are required to utilize the campus leadership team to engage in the Texas Accountability Intervention System (TAIS) continuous improvement process of data analysis, needs assessment, and development, implementation, and monitoring of an improvement plan designed to address the low performance identified by the system safeguards. The campus will include the improvement initiatives and strategies it will employ in the campus improvement plan (CIP) required by Texas Education Code (TEC) §11.253. The CIP will be retained on the campus, but is subject to a request for submission of the sections of the CIP that include the improvement initiatives and strategies that address low performance on the system safeguard measures and targets missed. The agency will notify the campus if the CIP is chosen for submission.
Intervention Requirements for all Districts rated Met Standard that Failed to Meet One or More System Safeguard Measures or Targets • Districts rated Met Standard or Met Alternative Standard that failed to meet one or more system safeguard measures or targets are required to utilize the district leadership team to engage in the TAIS continuous improvement process referred to above to develop, implement, and monitor an improvement plan that addresses the low performance identified by the system safeguards. If the district is staged for interventions in the Performance-Based Monitoring (PBM) system, the improvement initiatives and strategies addressing missed system safeguards will be included in the targeted improvement plan that is required to address low performance on PBM indicators. If the district is not staged for PBM interventions, the improvement initiatives and strategies addressing missed system safeguards will be included in the district improvement plan required by TEC §11.252. The district improvement plan will be retained locally, subject to a request for submission of the sections of the DIP that include the improvement initiatives and strategies that address low performance on the system safeguard measures and targets missed.
Intervention Requirements for all Districts rated Met Standard that Failed to Meet One or More System Safeguard Measures or Targets • Although submission and progress reporting are not required due to failing to meet standard for system safeguards only, campuses and districts missing multiple system safeguards may be contacted by the TEA and/or the Texas Center for District and School Support (TCDSS) regarding implementation of actions addressing low performance and for reports on the effectiveness of improvement initiatives and strategies.
System Safeguards • With the PI framework, poor performance in one subject or one student group does not result in an Improvement Required Rating. • System safeguards are added to ensure that poor performance in one area or one student group is not masked in the performance index. • Texas Accountability Intervention System (TAIS)
Purpose • Ensure system disaggregates performance by student group, performance level, subject area, and grade • Target for disaggregated results meet and exceed federal requirements • Performance Target • Participation Rate • Graduation rate targets and improvement • Limit on Alternative Assessments
Impact • Results are reported for any cell that meets minimum size criteria. • Failure to meet the safeguard target for any reported cell must be addressed • Performance on the safeguard indicators are incorporated into the Texas Accountability Intervention System (TAIS)
There is no “death by single cell” but there is “paperwork by single cell.”
“We want to gather and analyze data that will help us understand the system that produces the results we are getting…from random acts of improvement to focused improvement that centers on… improving results for students.” Victoria Bernhardt No Child Left Behind Program Series: Improvement Plans
