  7. Gold Performance Acknowledgment (continued)

  8. Gold Performance Acknowledgment (continued)

  9. Gold Performance Acknowledgments (continued) • The number of campuses and districts earning acknowledgment on the RHSP indicator continues to decline.

  10. Gold Performance Acknowledgments (continued) • At the district level, the number of districts earning acknowledgments declined for every GPA indicator, except the two TSI indicators. The biggest decline was in commended performance on writing. There are 208 fewer districts commended on writing than in 2006. The greatest increase was for the TSI in ELA where there are 266 more districts earning this acknowledgment.

  11. Gold Performance Acknowledgments (continued) • At the campus level, the number of campuses earning acknowledgments declined for 8 of the possible 14 GPA indicators. The biggest decline was in commended performance on mathematics. There are almost 600 fewer campuses commended on mathematics than in 2006. The greatest increase was for the TSI in ELA where there are 307 more campuses earning this acknowledgment.

  12. Technical Assistance Teams

  13. TAT Methodology • The TAKS data was rebuilt for both 2006-07 and 2005-06 to include selected TAKS-Inclusive grades and subjects and to include grade 8 science results. These data are reported on the 2006-07 AEIS reports as a Preview Indicator (example to follow). • SDAA II results are not evaluated. • Paired campuses and obsolete campuses are removed from the TAT list. • There is no waiver provision for the 2007-08 TAT list.

  14. TAT Facts • There are 395 unique districts with one or more campuses on the TAT list. This compares to 157 unique districts on the 2006-07 list. • Most districts have only one campus on the list (62%). Houston ISD has the most campuses of any single district, with 56. • The most common campus type on the list is Middle School with 40% (among the Both, Elementary, Middle School, and Secondary categories). • The 2006-07 TAT list had 234 campuses, with 35 waivers, so only 199 campuses had TAT requirements. The 2007-08 list is almost four times as large with 877 campuses and no waivers.

  15. Economically. Disadvantaged = All Students The TAT Data • The AEIS reports (released to superintendents today through the TEASE site) contains a 2008 Preview Indicator.

  16. The TAT Data (continued) • The 2008 Preview Indicator is the data that was used to identify campuses for the TAT list. • The TAT processing also evaluated student group size, checked for requirement improvement, and applied the Exceptions Provision. These details cannot be discerned from the Preview Indicator.

  17. TAT Consequences • Questions about TAT membership should be directed to the PMI Division at 463-9414. • Team membership should be submitted by November 30, 2007.

  18. TAT FAQs • Why is a certain school on the list? See the AEIS 2008 Preview Indicator. • I have a school on the list. What must I do now? Identify your TAT membership and submit name(s) to the PMI Division. • Is this particular person eligible to be a team member? Contact PMI.

  19. TAT FAQs (continued) • I can’t reconcile my data with your data. How did you get the results you used? We recomputed both the 2007 data and the 2006 data to include grade 8 science results at the PR level as well as TAKS-I (science and social studies and grade 11). • Will the agency provide data in the future? No recomputation of data is necessary next year, so August 1 Accountability Data Tables can be used. Reasons will be provided on the TAT list. It is also anticipated that notification will occur via TEASE instead of via mailing.

  20. TAT FAQs (continued) • I have a 2007 granted appeal based on data quality issues, yet you evaluated me for the TAT list based on the bad data anyway. Why? Even with granted appeals the underlying data are not altered. The 2007 data was the only performance data available to evaluate against the 2008 system criteria.

  21. 2006-07 Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) Update

  22. November 15 TEASE release • Email notification was sent November 14 to district superintendents with a copy to ESC directors. • The TEASE site provides everything districts need to fulfill statutory requirements associated with AEIS. • Site also provides Guidelines and Glossary. • Unlike other TEASE products, the AEIS reports are NOT confidential.

  23. District Responsibilities (See Guidelines for details) PUBLISHING • MUST publish: performance and profile sections of district and campus AEIS reports • MAY publish: Glossary (Note: Spanish language translation of the Glossary will be available in January 2008) • MUST ADD and publish: • Campus performance objectives • Report of violent or criminal incidents • Information from THECB about performance of students in postsecondary institutions

  24. District Responsibilities (continued) HEARING FOR PUBLIC DISCUSSION • Must be held within 90 calendar days after the November 15th TEASE release. District winter break days do not count toward the 90 days. • Within 2 weeks after the hearing, the AEIS report must be disseminated.

  25. District Responsibilities (continued) DISSEMINATION OF THE REPORT May be accomplished by: • Directing readers to copies of the reports located on the district’s website (preferred). • Directing readers to the TEA AEIS website. • Through mailouts. • By posting the report in public places.

  26. District Responsibilities (continued) AEIS AND THE DISTRICT WEBSITE • TEC 39.252 requires the district to post the most current AEIS report by the 10th instructional day. There is no requirement in this statute that district websites must be updated with new AEIS reports after the 10th instructional day; however, districts are encouraged to do so. • See our FAQ about this requirement at: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/perfreport/3297_faq.html

  27. November 28 Public Release • Includes the TEASE products; namely, individual district and campus AEIS reports, CI reports, Glossary, and Guidelines. • ADDS: • Region reports • State report • A separate report of how mobile students performed (state-level only) • Data download (including explanation of masking) • Additional CI information • The Multi-Year feature • Direct links to prior year reports • Direct links to grade level Progress of Prior Year Failers

  28. Changes to 2006-07 AEIS Accountability Preview of 2008: • An indicator is included that shows TAKS performance constructed to reflect the indicator definition that will be used in the 2008 accountability system. This indicator is titled, “TAKS Met 2008 Standard (Sum of All Grades Tested, INCLUDING grade 8 Science and TAKS-I—2008 Preview at Panel Recommended).” Participation: • “TAKS-Alternate Only” and “Combination” have been added to the tested subsection.

  29. Changes to 2006-07 AEIS (continued) TAKS-Inclusive: • TAKS-I results, previously reported as a separate indicator, have been deleted. The TAKS-I results (for selected subjects and grades) are now included with other TAKS data in the Accountability Preview indicator described above. TAKS-I results are not included in the TAKS results by grade. • Although TAKS-I has been renamed “TAKS (Accommodated),” the 2006-07 AEIS reports and Glossary use “TAKS-I”.

  30. Changes to 2006-07 AEIS (continued) Annual Dropout Rate: • The annual dropout rate for grades 9-12 is added. All three annual dropout rates (7-8, 7-12, and 9-12) will appear on each district, region, and state report. However, only the 7-8 and 9-12 rates will appear on campuses evaluated under standard procedures. The 7-8 and 7-12 rates will appear on campuses evaluated under AEA procedures. Due to definition changes to the annual dropout rate, only the current year of dropout data is shown.

  31. Changes to 2006-07 AEIS (continued) College-Ready Graduates: • A new indicator of college readiness is added to the college-ready section of the report. To be considered college-ready, a graduate must have achieved a certain performance level on any one of the following tests: the exit-level TAKS, the SAT, or the ACT. English Language Learners Progress Measure: • For the first time, two years of information are available for this indicator (2006-07 and 2005-06). Also, more details are provided for the definition of this indicator in a new appendix to the Glossary, Appendix H.

  32. School Report Card 2006-07 Summary

  33. Overview • A subset of the AEIS • Governed by its own statute (TEC 39.052) and Commissioner’s Rule (TAC 61.1021) • Intent is for this report to get to the homes of each child

  34. Delivery & Notification from TEA • A website release only. Paper copies not mailed. • Web products are accessible through the AEIS site — no separate TEASE release. • Target release date – December 11. • Superintendents and principals notified of availability via email.

  35. District Responsibilities • Districts must provide SRCs to their campuses. • Must be disseminated to parents within six weeks after districts are notified by TEA. • The district winter break doesn’t count toward the six week period. • There are various ways to achieve the distribution requirements (see TAC 61.1021). • Supplemental materials are provided by TEA • Sample cover letters to parents (English and Spanish) • Definitions (English and, as soon as available, Spanish)

  36. Public Education Grant (PEG) Program – 2008-09 Summary

  37. Overview • A statutorily-mandated program of school choice (TEC Ch. 29, Subchapter G, 29.201-29.205). • Statute addresses campus identification, funding issues, and student eligibility issues.

  38. Criteria • Partially tied to accountability ratings, but not aligned with either the state system, AYP, or the TAT list. • PEG criteria are tougher on the evaluation of science and math results than the state standards currently are. • There is a 3 year moving time period, so even improved schools stay on the list if they were AU in any of the previous three years. • The number of campuses anticipated this year is expected to be lower than last year. Last year there were 924 schools identified.

  39. Calendar and Notification • Planned release on December 6 via TEASE to all districts with one or more campuses on the list. • List will be posted to agency website on December 12. • An online FAQ is available through the Division of Performance Reporting Resources link http://www.tea.state.tx.us/perfreport/resources/index.html

  40. District Responsibilities • Statute requires that districts notify parents of the 2008-09 list by February 1 of 2008. • List is based on ’05, ’06, and ’07 performance, but is in effect for the 2008-09 school year.
