Accountability Technical Advisory Committee (ATAC) Update

ATAC Recommendations 2016

Keep Index 1 or Index 2 AND Index 3 AND Index 4

Include STAAR A and STAAR ALT 2 in Index 1 and Index 2 (if an appropriate growth measure is developed) and excluded them from Index 3 and Index 4.

Include ELL Denials and ELL Plan exceeders in all four indices (currently they are excluded from 4 completely).

Students who graduated via an IGC will be counted based on their diploma plan, like all other graduates.

TSI will count as an additional indicator for the Postsecondary Ready indicator in Index 4.

Exclude FHSP graduates from the numerator and denominator in the diploma plan rates for the Class of 2015.

Index

Index 3: Identifying Your Groups Per correspondence from TEA dated October 14, 2015 The federal system safeguards data are provided to your district and campuses for informational purposes only. However, for state accountability in 2016, data from the federal safeguard reports will be used to determine the two lowest-performing racial/ethnic groups from 2015 for the purpose of calculating Index 3 scores, given these data include the STAAR mathematics, STAAR A, and STAAR Alternate 2 results referenced above.

How Many Groups Will You Have? 1. Economically Disadvantaged will count 2. Up to 2 Race/Ethnicity Group Which groups have at least 25 tests in Reading and 25 tests in Math? If 3+ groups meet that criteria, select the lowest 2 If 2 groups meet that criteria, select the lowest 1 If 1 group meets the criteria, you have no Race/Ethnicity Group To identify the lowest group, go the performance for that group for All Subjects Combined

‘’ However, Federal Safeguard Reports don’t include the All Subjects Combined Line You get to do the math yourself!

However, Federal Safeguards Don’t Include All Subjects Combined Total Number of Tests at Phase-in Satisfactory Standard (Reading+Math+Writing+Science+Social Studies) Divided by Total Number of Tests (Reading+Math+Writing+Science+Social Studies)

New Phase-in Chart

New Phase-In Schedule

High School EOCs Once a student takes an EOC, that is their passing standard for all remaining EOCs. Students in the same EOC course will have different passing standards. The Phase-in Schedule means each class between now and Final Recommended will have a different passing standard.

Testing News

We will get news in our manuals about requirements related to releasing students when they are finished with their tests.
