Texas Projection Measure

1. Texas Projection Measure

2. What is TPM? • TPM is a method for… • projecting future student scores -OR- • determining whether a student is likely to pass TAKS assessments, in the next high-stakes grade using students’ current year scale scores

3. What is TPM? • TPM is a method for… • projecting future student scores -OR- • determining whether a student is likely to pass TAKS assessments, in the next high-stakes grade using students’ current year scale scores Grades 5, 8, or 11 with the exception of writing, which is projected from grade 4 to grade 7 vertical or horizontal depending on the grade and subject TPM provides an indication of how student performance at the end of a school year positions a student to meet the standard in future grades.

4. Where is TPM in this picture?

5. 2009 TPM • TPM will provide projections for all TAKS English- and Spanish-version tests (except 8th grade science) • TPM projections are made separately for each subject area: reading/ELA, mathematics, writing, science, and social studies. • The TPM will be used in 2009 for students taking the TAKS, TAKS (Accommodated), and linguistically accommodated testing (LAT) versions of TAKS.

6. 2010 TPM TEA proposes to: • expand the TPM for use with students taking the TAKS–M assessments; and • implement a transition table approach to growth for students participating in TAKS–Alt.

10. TPM Requirements • A student must test all subjects needed for the calculation in the same language. • A student must test all subjects in TAKS (the “regular” form, Accommodated form, or linguistically accommodated test form) • When projections for students in grades 3–8 are calculated, the student’s reading and mathematics scale scores used must be the vertical scale scores.

11. TPM Requirements • TPM requires that a student (1) have a valid scale score in the current-year predictor subjects, (2) have a current-year scale score in the projection subject, and (3) have a valid scale score in the same language (English or Spanish) for all scores used as predictors to receive a projection.

12. No TPM available forstudents who… • take TAKS in two language versions, such as taking TAKS reading in Spanish and TAKS mathematics in English, • do not take all tests that are needed for a projection, • take TAKS for one subject and TAKS–M for another subject, and • are in grades 5 and 8 with student ID information that does not allow their results on the primary reading administration to be matched with records in the TAKS history file.

21. Texas Projection Measure Required Improvement State Accountability:Provisions that May Increase Rating by One Level Exceptions • Exceptions are the last choice. • Exceptions cannot be used for the same cell two years in a row. • Exceptions are limited depending on the number of cells measured. • The initial cell result must be within 5 points of the standard. Can be used to move from Unacceptable to Acceptable or Acceptable to Recognized. The gain from 2008 must allow the cell to reach the standard if the gain were repeated the next year. There is no floor when moving to Acceptable. The rating must be within 5 points to move to Recognized. Required Improvement is always reviewed first. If it cannot increase the cell rating, TPM is applied. • Identifies if student is projected to pass next high stakes test at 5th, 8th or 11th grade. • Only available for students in grades 3-10 who: • Test on TAKS, TAKS-Acc, TAKS-LAT • Have scored results this year for both Reading and Math • Test in the same language • TPM will not be available for: • 7th Grade Writing • 8th Grade Science • All 11th Grade Subjects • TPM can increase the campus rating to Acceptable, Recognized or Exemplary. • If applying TPM does not raise the cell rating, Exceptions are reviewed.
