The Research…..The Data…..

Numerous studies reveal the tremendous impact schools and teachers can have on student achievement. For example, a study conducted by Sanders and Horn (1994, reviewed in Marzano, 2003) reveals a 39 percentage-point difference in student achievement between students with “most effective” and “least effective” teachers. In classrooms headed by teachers characterized as “most effective,” students posted achievement gains of 53 percentage points over the course of one academic year, whereas in classrooms led by “least effective” teachers, student achievement gains averaged 14 percentage points (Marzano, 2003).

TEXAS Performance Standards

vs. SISD Excellence Standards

KEY to the D.A.T.E. Award Teachers must achieve Spring 2010

TAKS “met standard” achievement level

Teachers must achieve a minimum of 80% “met standard” in order to be considered for the award

If teacher’s “met standard” rate is not maintained from previous years TAKS, the teacher will not be eligible for the award

SISD Excellence Standards What is the formula for the Excellence Standard calculation?

SISDES Formula:

(X) * .10 = N X = TEA Spring 2011 "met standard"Performance Standard

N = SISD Excellence Standard

SISD Excellence Standards What are the implications and stipulations as it relates to the SISDES?

SISDES will determine the "met standard" achievement level

All calculations, utilizing the SISDES formula, resulting in decimals, must be rounded to the next whole number (e.g. 21.1 must be rounded to 22)

"N" must be converted into a scale score as determined by the Spring 2011 TAKS Raw Score Conversion Tables. This scale score must be used to determine all TAKS SISDES "met standard" passing rates.

SISDES Formula Calculation

(Example)

Example Calculation (using 2010 TEA Performance

Standards) In order to achieve the "met standard level" for

3rd Grade Reading TAKS the student needed to correctly

respond to 21 out of 36 questions resulting in a scale score

of 2100, as per the 2010 Texas Performance Standards.

Utilizing the SISDES "met standard" calculation

( [21 x .10 = 2.1], [2.1 + 21= 23.1], the student would

have needed to correctly respond to 23 out of 48 questions

resulting in a scale score of 2121. This scale score would

then be utilized to calculate "met standard" passing

rates for the 3rd Grade Teacher for purposes of this

example.
