Title: Overview of State and Federal Accountability Systems


1
  • Overview of State and Federal Accountability
    Systems
  • AISD Office of Accountability
  • September 25th, 2009

2
How Are Texas Schools Held Accountable?
  • State Accountability Ratings
  • Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
  • Performance Based Monitoring Assessment System
    (PBMAS)
  • Public Education Grant (PEG)

3
State Accountability Ratings
  • Districts and campuses are rated based on
  • Performance on state-mandated tests (TAKS)
  • Completion Rate (high school)
  • Annual Dropout Rate (middle school)
  • The possible ratings are
  • Exemplary
  • Recognized
  • Academically Acceptable
  • Academically Unacceptable

4
State AccountabilitySubjects and Student Groups
  • Subjects
  • Reading/ELA (grades 3-11)
  • Mathematics (grades 3-11)
  • Writing (grades 4 7)
  • Science (grades 5, 8, 10, and 11)
  • Social Studies (grades 8, 10, and 11)
  • Subgroups
  • All students
  • Hispanic
  • African American
  • White
  • Economically Disadvantaged

Scores are summed across grade levels and all
groups must perform at minimum standard in
order for school to be rated acceptable
5
State Accountability Assessments Used
  • TAKS
  • TAKS Accommodated
  • 2008
  • Sci. (5, 8, 10, 11) Soc.St. (8, 10, 11) ELA
    (11) Math (11)
  • 2009
  • Sci. (5, 8, 10, 11) Soc.St. (8, 10, 11) ELA
    (11) Math (11
  • 2010
  • All grades and subjects

6
State AccountabilityTAKS Performance Standards
7
Completion and Dropout Rates
  • Completion Rate (grades 9-12)
  • Establish a 9th grade cohort
  • Track over 4-years
  • Completers receive a high-school diploma with
    their class or re-enroll in the fall after their
    senior year
  • 75 85 95
  • Dropout Rate (grades 7-8)
  • A dropout is a student who was enrolled in a
    public school but did not return the following
    fall prior to the last Friday in Sept. (some
    exceptions)
  • lt 2.0 (1.8 in 2010)

8
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
  • AYP Ratings are based on
  • Performance on federally-mandated tests
  • Participation in federally-mandated testing
  • Graduation (high school)
  • Attendance (middle and elementary school)
  • The ratings are
  • Met AYP
  • Missed AYP
  • Year X of School Improvement (if campus or
    district does not meet AYP two or more
    consecutive years in the same subject)

AYP Subjects and Subgroups

AYP Assessments Used

12
Graduation and Attendance Rates (AYP)
  • Graduation Rate
  • Percentage of 9th grade cohort who complete their
    high school education by the anticipated
    graduation date (same as completion rate except
    students who re-enroll the fall after their
    senior year are not counted)
  • Cohort-driven
  • 70 or any improvement
  • Attendance Rates
  • Total number of days present divided by total
    number of days enrolled
  • 90

Results of Receiving an Unacceptable State Rating

Results of Missing AYP
15
State Accountability
  • Number of Measures (2009)
  • TAKS
  • 25
  • 5 Subjects
  • 5 Student Populations
  • Completion Rate (HS)
  • 5 Student Populations
  • Annual Drop Out Rate (MS)
  • 5 Student Populations
  • Minimum group size 30

16
Impact of Diverse Student Population
17
AYP
  • Number of Accountability Measures (2009)
  • Reading
  • 14
  • 7 Performance groups
  • 7 Participation
  • Math
  • 14
  • 7 Performance groups
  • 7 Participation
  • Graduation/Attendance
  • 1
  • Minimum group size 50

18
Impact of State vs. Federal Rating Criteria
19
Public Education Grant (PEG List)
  • Students attending schools on the PEG list may
    transfer to other districts. Schools are on the
    list if
  • 50 percent or more of the students failed any of
    the TAKS subjects in any two of the preceding
    three years or
  • the school was rated Academically Unacceptable in
    any two of the previous three years.
  • A school can remain on the PEG list for up to
    three years, even if their subsequent ratings are
    Recognized or Exemplary

20
Gold Performance Acknowledgement
  • Acknowledgement for reaching standards beyond
    those established for the state accountability
    system
  • Advanced Course/Dual Enrollment
  • AP/IB Results
  • Attendance
  • Commended Performance
  • Comparable Improvement ELA/Math
  • Recommended High School or Distinguished
    Achievement Program
  • SAT/ACT Results
  • Higher Education Readiness

21
Challenges under the current systems
  • Conflicts between Federal and State systems
  • Differing performance standards
  • Overlapping sanctions
  • Mixed messages
  • Higher number of measures must be met by diverse
    campuses/districts
  • Increasing standards

22
Texas Projection Measure
  • New Feature for 2008-2009
  • Method for Measuring Student Improvement
  • Predicts student performance in the next
    high-stakes grade level (5, 8, 11 7 for
    writing)
  • Provides an estimate of whether or not a student
    will pass that next high stakes grade level

23
TPM in Accountability Ratings
  • Met Passing Standard Met Improvement
    Standard TAKS Met Standard with TPM
  • Beginning in 2009, TPM can elevate a campus to
    next higher rating if,
  • Base indicator not met, and,
  • Required improvement insufficient to gate-up
  • A campus with that would be AU due to 50 math
    passing rate
  • 56 TAKS Met Standard with TPM
  • Academically Acceptable Rating

24
Additional Legislative Changes
  • New requirements for grade level advancement
  • Grade 3
  • Campus must specify interventions
  • Proportionality model (85 of cells)
  • Post-secondary readiness standards
  • Financial accountability measure
  • Vertical Scaling
  • Revised Sanctions
  • End of Course
