OTHER
ASSESSMENT
INFORMATION
CAMT June 2007
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
CAMT June 2007
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
CAMT June 2007
Student Success Initiative (SSI)
 In spring 2008, 8th graders will be subject
to all SSI requirements for both reading
and mathematics.
 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.
CAMT June 2007
Student Success Initiative (SSI)
 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.
CAMT June 2007
Student Success Initiative (SSI)
 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.
CAMT June 2007
Student Success Initiative (SSI)
 The GPC Manual is being revised for
2007-2008 to include information
regarding grade 8.
 The GPC Manual contains sample forms
and letters, flowcharts, and FAQs.
 The 2007-2008 GPC Manual will be
posted to TEA website and shipped to
districts in August/September 2007.
