College Preparatory Courses
Each school district shall partner with at least one institution of higher education to develop and provide courses in college preparatory: Mathematics English Language Arts Courses must be offered to students who do not meet college readiness standards (college entrance exam, STAAR, ACT/SAT, etc.) A student in a college prep course who satisfies the TSI college readiness benchmarks on an exam administered by the THECB at the end of the course satisfies the EOC requirement for that course.

The NEW TSI Assessment for Determining College Readiness!
* Information about the new TSI assessment to be used for college readiness is at http://www.thecb.state.tx.us/index.cfm?objectid=233A17D9-F3D3-BFAD D5A76CDD8AADD1E3 . This assessment will be used to determine if students will need to be placed in a college prep course at the end of the 11th grade year.
More information is expected on the actual College Prep Courses as details are sorted out. Specific questions about the assessment can be directed to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
This presentation is for initial planning purposes only as we await implementation details and transition plans.

Assessment
This presentation is for initial planning purposes only as we await implementation details and transition plans.
EOC Scores Required for Graduation
Requires TEA to adopt five end-‐of-‐course (EOC) exams, including: English I (reading and writing on a single test and given one score) English II (reading and writing on a single test and given one score) Algebra I Biology U.S History 44
Other Tests That Can Satisfy EOC Score Requirements
Requires the TEA commissioner to determine a method by which satisfactory performance on an AP, IB, SAT Subject Test, the SAT or the ACT, or any nationally recognized norm ‐referenced tests used by institutions of higher education to award course credit based on satisfactory performance to satisfy the EOC requirements for an equivalent course. Removes commissioner rule-‐making authority and commissioner discretion to determine if any of these tests are “at least as rigorous as an EOC.” 45
Other Tests That Can Satisfy EOC Score Requirements
Allows a student who fails to perform satisfactorily on one of these tests, other than the PSAT or the ACT-‐Plan, to retake the test or another test, including the EOC, for the purpose of satisfying the EOC requirements. Mandates that a student who fails to perform satisfactorily on the PSAT or the ACT-‐Plan must take the appropriate EOC. Permits the commissioner to adopt rules for these particular provisions. 46
Grade 11 Students Not Meeting EOC Score Requirements
Mandates that if a district determines on completion of grade 11 that a student is unlikely to achieve the necessary score for one or more EOC exams, the district must require the student to enroll in a corresponding content-‐area college preparatory course. 47
Accountability
This presentation is for initial planning purposes only as we await implementation details and transition plans.
New Index System
This presentation is for initial planning purposes only as we await implementation details and transition plans.
2013 Ratings Criteria
To receive a Met Standard Rating all campuses and districts must meet the following accountability targets:
Each of the four indexes will have a score of 0 to 100 to represent the campus or district performance
:
Targets Districts and Campuses
Index 1: Student Achievement Index 2: Student Progress Index 3: Closing Performance Gaps Index 4: Postsecondary Readiness 50 5 th percentile* 55 75 * Target will be set at about the fifth percentile of campus performance and will be applied to both campuses and districts.
Campus Performance Rating from HB5
Requires the commissioner to also assign each campus a performance rating of exemplary, recognized, acceptable, or unacceptable. A campus rating of exemplary, recognized, or acceptable reflects “acceptable” performance, and a rating of unacceptable is deemed “unacceptable.” Requires the rating to be made public not later than August 8 of each year. Applies beginning with the 2016–2017 school year. This presentation is for initial planning purposes only as we await implementation details and transition plans.
What does this report tell you about a campus?
NEW Community and Student Engagement Accountability System
Introduces a new component to the state accountability system that requires each district to report to TEA and make publically available a self- ‐evaluation of the district and each campus in the area of community and student engagement. 53
NEW Community and Student Engagement Accountability System
Requires a local committee to establish criteria that will be used to issue a rating to the district and each campus of exemplary, recognized, acceptable, or unacceptable for both overall performance and on individual factors that include: (1) fine arts; (2) wellness and P.E.; (3) community and parental involvement, i.e. tutoring programs or participation in community service projects; (4) 21st Century Workforce Development program; (5) second language acquisition program; (6) digital learning environment; (7) dropout prevention strategies; (8) educational programs for gifted and talented students; and (9) record of district and campus compliance with statutory reporting and policy requirements. Requires the rating to be made public not later than August 8 of each year.
NEW Texas School Accountability Dashboard
Creates a new dashboard that requires TEA to develop and maintain a website separate from its own for the public to be able to access campus and district accountability information. Requires the commissioner to adopt a performance index for the dashboard in four areas: (1) student achievement, (2) student progress, (3) closing performance gaps, and, (4) postsecondary readiness. THIS GUARANTEES USAGE OF INDEX SYSTEM IN FUTURE AS IT IS NOW IN STATUTE!
This presentation is for initial planning purposes only as we await implementation details and transition plans.
Pressing Issues…
The achievement gap is bigger than it ever was in TAKS for most districts. It is falling along lines of poverty and economically disadvantaged. Staffing for the future of this new endorsement world. What courses is your district going to offer?
High School Counselors now have less testing, but more responsibility and “career and college” counseling with students and parents. HB5 places tremendous responsibility on the sophistication of your counseling services.
The Index system places great emphasis on high performing students. Systems will have to acclimate to the rigor needs of these students.
