Excellence in Mathematics Teaching, UT Austin,
 will issue at least 20 grant awards for Math
Collaboratives next school year, 2007-2008.
“Math Collaboratives”
 The purpose of these grants is to improve the
academic achievement of students in mathematics
by providing
 High quality, sustained, and high intensity
professional development focused on the education
of mathematics teachers as a career-long process.
 I.e., math collaboratives will help train teachers on
the PD modules currently being developed and
disseminated.

ITEMS TO REFINED TEKS
 Student expectations that are not being assessed are
still part of the state mandated curriculum that is
required to be taught to students.
 These student expectations are critical to students’
understanding of concepts within their particular
grade level and beyond. Students are expected to
know and be able to do these student expectations.
 Not teaching the student expectations that are not
being assessed will leave students with gaps in their
knowledge that may affect student achievement later.

OTHER ASSESSMENT
INFORMATION
QUANTILES
 Reported on Confidential Student Reports for TAKS
mathematics
 Linked to a student’s mathematics score on TAKS
and is one indicator of his or her mathematical
ability
 Based on a study using 2006 TAKS data to link TAKS
with the Quantile Framework
 An educational tool that helps schools and parents
evaluate and monitor students’ mathematical
achievement
QUANTILES
 Do not translate specifically to a grade level
 Span the curriculum from kindergarten through
grade 12, ranging from 0Q to above 1400Q
 Help track student’s growth in mathematics over
time, no matter what grade he or she is in
 More information at www.Quantiles.com
Student Success Initiative (SSI)
 The goal of the SSI is to ensure that all students receive
the instruction and support they need to be academically
successful in mathematics and reading.
 A student must be given three opportunities to pass the
required assessments.
 If after three opportunities a student is not successful,
the student is automatically retained.
 A student’s parents may appeal the automatic retention.
 The Grade Placement Committee (GPC) only by
unanimous decision may promote a student to the next
grade level.
Student Success Initiative (SSI)
 In spring 2008, 8th graders will be subject to all SSI
requirements for both reading and mathematics.
 The GPC Manual is being revised for 2007-2008 to
include information regarding grade 8.
 The 2007-2008 GPC Manual will be posted to TEA
website and shipped to districts in August/September
2007.
 The GPC Manual contains sample forms and letters,
flowcharts, and FAQs.
