Summary of the Texas Amendment Requests

In order to provide 2012 AYP results on a timely basis,
Texas will use bridge studies that identify the existing
TAKS performance standards on the new STAAR
assessments for tests of grade 3–8 on which STAAR
performance standards will not yet be available.
 The STAAR Bridge Study for AYP was approved by
the USDE on February 17, 2012. The complete study
is posted online at

Overview of Accountability System
for 2013 and Beyond
House Bill (HB) 3 Accountability Provisions
13

Focus of district and campus performance is
postsecondary readiness standards

Rigorous standards ensure that Texas performs
among top ten states by 2020

Higher ratings are distinctions based on higher levels
of student performance
House Bill (HB) 3 Accountability Provisions
14

Campuses earn distinctions for student growth
and closing achievement gaps

Campuses earn distinctions for excellence in areas
other than state assessment results

Reports are relevant, meaningful, and easily accessible

State and federal accountability requirements are
aligned to the extent possible
Accountability System for 2013 and Beyond
15

Legislation provides new flexibility as well as constraints

Every aspect of accountability system will be
reevaluated

New system may look very different from current
system, not just variation on former systems used
in Texas

Seamless system of ratings – reporting – monitoring –
interventions
New Accountability Indicators Considered
16

End-of-Course (EOC) cumulative scores for cohorts
of graduates

Four-, five-, and six-year graduation rates

Three-year average performance
New Frameworks Considered
17
Performance Index

Allows more indicators without more hurdles

Rating based on overall performance rather than
lowest performing area

Interventions focus on specific problem areas
New Frameworks Considered
18
Alignment of State/Federal Systems

Broad goals in common
 postsecondary readiness,
 student progress,
 closing performance gaps

Range of options
 Develop state system that meets federal
requirements – replace Adequate Yearly
Progress (AYP) with new state system
 Separate AYP as component of state system
New Rating Labels
19

Statutory labels removed

Separate district ratings from elementary, middle,
and high schools are possible

Distinction Designations
28
Campus Academic Distinctions



Developed via committees
Reading/ELA and mathematics awarded in 2013
likely based on:
 Grades 3-8 STAAR advanced performance
 High school measures of college-readiness
other than EOC
Science and Social Studies will be phased in
Distinction Designations
29
New Areas for Recognition

Developed via committees

21st Century Workforce Development Program
scheduled to be awarded in 2013

be awarded in 2013

These distinctions will likely be based on growth
measures and the Level III: Advanced Academic
Performance student passing standard that will not be
evaluated until 2014.
Alternative Education Accountability
(AEA) Options
31

No separate system

Same system for all in 2013, separate AEA
procedures in 2014
