  1. Never going back again… Staar and the new accountability system

  2. Last year’s retreat… “Confront the Brutal Facts… (Yet Never Lose Faith)” Chapter 4

  3. The facts • TAKS is Over • The last results from the spring 2013 Exit Level Primary Administration will be factored in for 2013 accountability. • Phase I Standards Have Ended • Phase II – 2013-14 and 2014-15 • Percentage of questions that students need to get correct on STAAR 3-8 moves from 50% range into 60% range. • Percentage moves into the 50% and 60% range for EOCs. • Final Standards – 2015-16 • Narrow bands between Level II and Level III. • HB 5 • Changed the EOCs • Algebra I, Biology, U.S. History, English I, and English II

  4. The facts • There is a New Accountability System • Based on the index model • Student Performance • Student Progress • Closing the Gaps • Postsecondary Readiness • Merging state and federal accountability • Move away from single indicators – somewhat • ‘Death by a single papercut’ becomes • ‘Interventions by a single papercut’

  5. World turning… 2012 and 2013 LCISD Staar results

  6. Revisiting ceteris paribus… • Basic principle of economic data analysis. • Assumes that all other variables except those under immediate consideration are held constant. • Another way of saying ‘all other things being equal’. • Watch the trends with the Phase I Standards • Are we trending upward? • Is it sufficient? • Are we flat? • Are we declining? • Why?

  11. Secondhand news… The new texas accountability system

  12. Structure • Four Indexes • Each is given an overall score • Each has a floor or threshold • Student Performance – 50% • Student Progress – Bottom 5% of Texas Schools • Closing Performance Gaps – 55% • Postsecondary Readiness – 75% • System Safeguards • Based on Index 1 • Interventions for areas below 50% • Tied to AYP and Federal Accountability

  13. Index 1 – student performance • All Students Only • Combined over All Subject Areas • Credit given for meeting phase-in Level II performance standard on: • STAAR Grades 3-8 English and Spanish for assessments administered in the spring; • EOC for assessments administered in the spring and the previous fall and summer; • STAAR Grades 3-8 and EOC Modified and Alternate; • STAAR L (linguistically accommodated) based on the ATAC ELL Workgroup recommendations; and, • TAKS Grade 11 results at Met Standard performance standard (2013 only).

  14. Index 2 – student progress • Ten Student Groups Evaluated: • All Students • Each Race/Ethnicity: • African American • American Indian • Asian • Hispanic • Pacific Islander • White • Two or More Races • Students with Disabilities • English Language Learners (ELLs) • By Subject Area (Reading, Math, and Writing for available grades)

  15. Index 3 – closing performance gaps • All Economically Disadvantaged Students and Two Lowest Performing Racial/Ethnic Groups based on the Index 1 student achievement indicator reported in the prior year • By Subject Area (Reading/ELA, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies) • Same Assessments Used in Index 1 • Credit based on weighted performance: • One point credit given for each percentage of students meeting the phase-in Level II performance standard • Will include students at Level III as extra credit in 2014

  16. Index 4 – post-secondary readiness • High school graduation rates and diploma plans • Either four or five year graduation rates • All groups except ED for graduation rate • All race/ethnic groups for graduation plans • This will include students at the final Level II standard in 2014

  17. System safeguards • Report performance by student group, performance level, subject, and grade • Implement interventions focused on specific areas of weak performance • Implement interventions based on minimum participation rate targets • Implement interventions for excessive use of STAAR Modified and STAAR Alternate • No more artificial failures for exceeding 2% cap • Similar to the AEIS single indicator model

  18. Keep in mind… • Four Indexes • Each is given an overall score • Each has a floor or threshold • Student Performance – 50% • Student Progress – Bottom 5% of Texas Schools • Closing Performance Gaps – 55% • Postsecondary Readiness – 75% • If you are within 10 points… Please adjust your planning accordingly… • If you fall through the safeguards… Please adjust your planning accordingly…

  19. Don’t stop… To End on a positive note…

  20. There was a theme Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow… Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here… It’ll be here better than before… Yesterday’s gone… Yesterday’s gone… Oooh… Don’t you look back… Oooh… Don’t you look back…
