Then…
• Separate State and Federal Accountability Systems– “Recognized” by State– “Missed AYP” by Feds
• Federal Targets Rising Beyond Attainable Levels– Performance Standard of each student
group rapidly approaching 100%• Only measured students who passed

Raw Score
• The number of questions the student must pass correctly to meet a goal
• Who Understands This?
![Page 16: It’s All GrEEk to Me… Accountability for Beginners Kim Gilson Sr Consultant Data and Accountability Kim.gilson@region10.org 972-348-1480](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d745503460f94a53dfb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Percentage Score
• The percent of items a student answered correctly, as if it were a chapter test graded by the teacher
• Who understands this?
![Page 18: It’s All GrEEk to Me… Accountability for Beginners Kim Gilson Sr Consultant Data and Accountability Kim.gilson@region10.org 972-348-1480](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d745503460f94a53dfb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Vertical Scale Score
• A vertical scale is a scale score system that allows for direct comparison of student test scores across grade levels within a content area. Vertical scaling refers to the process of placing test scores that measure similar content areas but at different grade levels onto a common scale.---TEA
• Different for every grade/subject• This is what the system is based on!• Who understands this?
![Page 20: It’s All GrEEk to Me… Accountability for Beginners Kim Gilson Sr Consultant Data and Accountability Kim.gilson@region10.org 972-348-1480](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d745503460f94a53dfb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Raw, Percent, and Vertical Scores• The number of questions a student
must answer correctly OR• The percentage of questions a
student must answer correctly to meet the standard
• CAN CHANGE FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT, BUT…..
• The vertical scale score remains the same (assuming the same passing standard)
![Page 22: It’s All GrEEk to Me… Accountability for Beginners Kim Gilson Sr Consultant Data and Accountability Kim.gilson@region10.org 972-348-1480](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d745503460f94a53dfb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Target
• The number that must be attained by the campus or district in each Index– Example: Index 1 Target was 55 in 2014
![Page 23: It’s All GrEEk to Me… Accountability for Beginners Kim Gilson Sr Consultant Data and Accountability Kim.gilson@region10.org 972-348-1480](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d745503460f94a53dfb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Performance Levels
• Level I: Unsatisfactory– Did Not Pass
• Level II: Satisfactory– Passing
• Level III: Advanced– Demonstrating an extremely high level
of performance (“commended” in TAKS)
![Page 24: It’s All GrEEk to Me… Accountability for Beginners Kim Gilson Sr Consultant Data and Accountability Kim.gilson@region10.org 972-348-1480](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d745503460f94a53dfb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Phase-In Levels
• The Level II Satisfactory Standard was supposed to be “Phased in” to allow the system to adjust to the new expectations for STAAR
• We still haven’t adjusted to the new expectations of STAAR– Phase-in Level I was extended– We’re in our 4th, AND LAST, year of the
lowest phase-in Standard
![Page 25: It’s All GrEEk to Me… Accountability for Beginners Kim Gilson Sr Consultant Data and Accountability Kim.gilson@region10.org 972-348-1480](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d745503460f94a53dfb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• The Commissioner announced a new Phase-In Schedule in Fall of 2014
• From 3-4 Levels• Each new level for 3 years• Final Level II standards not changed• Advanced Level III not changed
![Page 26: It’s All GrEEk to Me… Accountability for Beginners Kim Gilson Sr Consultant Data and Accountability Kim.gilson@region10.org 972-348-1480](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d745503460f94a53dfb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

ELL Progress Measure in Layman’s Terms
• In layman’s terms….Given that it is more difficult for an ELL student to achieve the same passing standard as native English speakers– The ELL progress measure affords those students a
measure of “grace” (ie, reduced passing standard)– They are placed on a plan with varying passing
standards– The level of grace shown is based on a combination of 2
factors:• Years in US Schools• Composite Telpas Score
• It is used in various ways in each Index. See http://goo.gl/dU6vgb (Accountability Manual, Appendix I)

New for 2015
• New Math TEKS According to Bridge Study– See http://goo.gl/1TD57v for more info– We’ll have bridge “scores” by mid June
• STAAR A and STAAR Alt 2– Index Calculated With and Without
These Tests• If they cause you to miss the target, then
they won’t be included• “Hold Harmless”

Federal Safeguards
• To satisfy Federal Accountability Concerns, performance by Student Groups is reported in Index 1– Done to ensure group performance doesn’t
mask students being left behind – 2015 Federal Safeguard is 83% (R/M Only)– Determined Focus and Priority Schools in 2013
• 3 year cohort– State Safeguards are same as Index Target (all
subjects)

Federal Accountability
• Bills are being developed at the Federal Level to change No Child Left Behind/AYP Requirements
• Stay Tuned!

Weighted System
• 1 point for growing enough (“meeting growth measure”)
• 2 points for growing extra (“exceeding growth measure”)
• How much is “enough” or “extra?”– Depends on the grade and subject!– See “Calculating STAAR Progress Measure” or “A Parent’s
Guide to the STAAR Progress Measure” http://tea.texas.gov/student.assessment/staar/

But Not This Year…
• In 3-8 Math (because of New TEKS)
• And Never for English I– 8th Grade Test to English I doesn’t
compute
– So…Index 2 for High Schools is Algebra 1 and English II
![Page 44: It’s All GrEEk to Me… Accountability for Beginners Kim Gilson Sr Consultant Data and Accountability Kim.gilson@region10.org 972-348-1480](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d745503460f94a53dfb/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Groups Contribute Points!
• All Students (as a group)• Each Race/Ethnicity (if they have 25
or more students)• Special Ed and ELL’s (if they have 25
or more students)

ELL Progress Measure
• Students have a set Met or Exceeds target that is not based on 2 years of consecutive scale scores– Soooo…..they can have progress
measures in grades that other students can’t• Example: 3rd grade Reading and English I
• AND 4TH GRADE WRITING!• AND 3-8 Math!• ATAC is Recommending No Math Index 2 for ELL’s
in Grades 3-8• Writing Still Included

Each subject contributed 50% of the indexStudent Groups had to meet 25 tests within that

But for 2015????
If you take the same approach, Reading = 1/3Math = 1/3 (even though it’s only Alg 1!)Writing = 1/3 (even though it’s only 7th grade and 4th ELL’s!)
So………..

Special Education and Spanish Tests• Proposal is to EXCLUDE STAAR A and
Alt 2 from Index 2• Reminder: Anyone who took an M

• Students who change languages cannot receive a Progress Measure in Reading
• Students who took Spanish 4th Grade Writing cannot receive a 7th Grade Writing Progress Measure

Calculation
• 1 point for Passing• 2 points for Advanced Level III• All Subjects
– Writing, Science, And Social Studies may not have data for some groups because there aren’t enough students to meet minimum size
• New Math TEKS Included Via Bridge Study

• 4 Indicators– STAAR Component
• Final Level II on 2 or more tests– (If they take at least 2 tests. If not, they
need to achieve that on the one they took)
• New Math TEKS Included Via Bridge Study• Elementary and Middle Schools Stop

• Each Campus is placed in a comparison group of 40 schools
• Campuses Evaluated – 4 Core Subject Peformance– Index 2– Index 3– Post-Secondary Readiness
• Districts Evaluated in Post-Secondary Readiness only
• Some indicators are attendance/participation and some are performance
• You get a Quartile ranking for each indicator– Number of Q1’s determines distinction

Comparison Data is Available
• See how your campus compares to the other schools like you in the Distinction Designation Data Overview Report
• Improvement Required Schools cannot earn distinctions, but they still have data!– http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/perfreport/account/2014/srch.html?srch=C

Required Improvement
• Not to be confused with “Improvement Required”– Harkens back to AYP days– Can help a campus or district who
misses and index target, but improves enough from previous year
– Needs stability in the system before formulas can be created
– Possibly added in future cycles
