Accountability for 2015???
To Be Determined…
Policy decisions Statutory requirements are that
assessments be included in the system. We probably won’t see exclusions in Index 1. Index 2-4 are difficult if not impossible in some cases.
Index 2
High Schools: GAME ON!!!! 3-8: No Math Progress Measure
Reading Writing (Grade 7)Math ONLY FOR ELL PROGRESS
MEASURE! Plan on teaching and doing a great job
regardless of the status of this index
2015 Index 3,4
Not seeing changes in Index 3 Statutory requirements call for additional
indicators in Index 4CTECertificationsFoundation Plan Grads
Final Level 2 will stay in Index 4 (2+ tests)
STAAR A/ALT 2 And Accountability STAAR A does NOT count towards a 2%
cap2% cap is GONE
No Progress Measure this year for those who took STAAR M last year
STAAR Alternate 2 Falls Under 1% CapFailure to stay in the 1% cap will result in an N
on Federal Safeguards
Students above the 1% cap will not count as artificial failures
STAAR Alt 2 Score Codes
Score Code N: Counts as a participant, excluded from performance.Score Code M: Excluded from participation AND performance.Score Code O or A: Counts as a non-participant, excluded from performance.
If you can’t finish assessment in window due to disability, contact TEAIf you just run out of time, no extension
Participation Rates and PBMAS
All 3 Administrations Included Looking for missing testers?
Check Summer 2013○ There was an A code on the answer document
Sped Arded Out of Retesting Prior to December and Voided???No ARD Exempt bubble on December test in
2013I’ve contacted TEA
Let me know others you’ve run into!
ELL and Safeguards? District Calls to say, “Why does our
Safeguard Report say we missed 0 Safeguards, but our Data Tables show that we missed some for ELL?”
Answer:The ELL used for safeguard performance
includes monitored as well as current ELL. Apparently those additional students did well enough to raise the performance to 55% or above. The column labeled “Current & Monitored ELL” is the one used in that section.
8th Grade Math Student Scenario Q: What would we do if we have acquired a
student that was enrolled in PAP math 7 in another district, but took math 8 STAAR and passed? Typically not a problem, however, this student is enrolled in 8th grade math here. Are we to give 8th grade STAAR again this spring even though she passed as a 7th grader?
A: Yes. Based on the information you provided, this student would take the 8th grade math assessment this year.
Who Can Take Spanish STAAR? Today, the very first consideration for any ELL is
whether Spanish is the most appropriate measure of their progress. If yes, then we must choose a Spanish assessment. The language of instruction or language of previous assessments are no longer to be considered. If there is a Spanish assessment and it is the most appropriate way to access their knowledge and ability, then we choose Spanish. Students who are “parent denials” are never able to assess with the Spanish STAAR—just a note!
