State Accountability minimum size for subgroups prior to 2013:


Federal Accountability minimum size for subgroups prior to 2013:




30 & 10% or >50
50 & 10% or >200
All STAAR assessments will count towards state accountability in
2013
No exemptions from testing for any ELLs (or any other group of
students)
Students in grades 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11 will attend summer review
courses if they have not met standard on a SSI, EOC, or Exit Level
TAKS assessment.


Do you realize our high schools will have review courses
providing accelerated instruction for at least 10 separate
EOC assessments?
High schools will still have review courses for students
needing to pass a TAKS Exit Level assessment.
Accountability & What do we know?
cont.





Students achieving the Level II score requirement are
considered passers
This coming January, we will receive CSRs for students who
took STAAR in grades 3-8 as well as results for students who
took STAAR Alt or STAAR-M in the spring of 2012.
We might receive the state accountability manual as early as
March 2013.
We do not expect to receive the AYP accountability until June
2013.
We can expect to receive accountability results on August 8th ,
2013.
Accountability & What do we think/hope?

ELLs- progress monitoring will be the tool used to determine
accountability for ELLs in US schools for 3 years or less



This means the accuracy of Years in US Schools is VERY
IMPORTANT!!!!!!
AYP will use the January results for STAAR to compare the
2013 results for Safe Harbor
Summer EOC retests will likely count towards state and
federal accountability


Getting students to attend summer review courses and testing will be
very important!!!!
The state will likely want to see how many students made progress
towards the Level II standard
Accountability & What are we clueless
about?

What are we clueless about?





Will 10th grade have a TAKS-Bridge study standard?
Will 10th grade English EOC writing assessments be used for
federal accountability along with the English EOC reading
assessments?
What EOC subjects will be used for federal accountability?
What model will be used for state accountability (standards
based or performance index)?
Will the minimum size requirement for federal accountability
change to match the state minimum size requirement?
Stay tuned! We will let you know
more as we learn more!
For now, we can all work on 100% of
our students being successful!
