8 8 2011 AYP Calculation Preview (cont.) Graduation Rate Goals/Targets The graduation rate calculations approved by the United States Department of Education (USDE) include five alternatives for districts and campuses to meet the required goal and targets: 4-year longitudinal Annual Graduation Rate Goal of 90.0%. 5-year longitudinal Annual Graduation Rate Target of 80%.

9 9 2011 AYP Calculation Preview (cont.) Graduation Rate Goals/Targets 4-year Annual Graduation Rate Target of 75% 4-year Graduation Rate Alternatives: o Safe Harbor Target A 10.0 percent decrease in difference between the prior year 4-year Graduation Rate and the 90.0 percent statewide goal o Improvement Target A 1.0 percent increase from the prior year 4-year Graduation Rate

10 Federal Race/Ethnicity Provision  Students who are Two or More Races will be evaluated in “All Students” and not among any of the individual racial student groups.  However, a new provision, the Federal Race/Ethnicity Provision, will be employed. The provision applies to:  AYP Reading and Mathematics Performance/Participation results  2011 only 2011 AYP Calculation Preview (cont.) 10

11 Federal Race/Ethnicity Provision  Selected students who are Two or More Races will be distributed into either the African American or White groups based on the information submitted on the 2009-10 TAKS answer documents for these same students under the former definitions.  Selected students are those multiracial students reporting both Black/African American and White racial categories.  If the recalculated African American and White student group performance/participation rates allow the campus or district to meet AYP, the Meets AYP status will be assigned. 2011 AYP Calculation Preview (cont.) 11

12 Federal Race/Ethnicity Provision  A message will appear on any campus or district federal accountability/AYP data table indicating the Federal Race/Ethnicity Provision was used.  Assessment results will not be changed. The official AYP data for the Reading/Mathematics (performance and participation) indicator will be the data that does not include the multiracial students in the separate student groups.  Further details about the Federal Race/Ethnicity Provision will be outlined in the 2011 AYP Guide. 2011 AYP Calculation Preview (cont.) 12

13 Federal Race/Ethnicity Provision  In order to monitor possible manipulation of the race/ethnicity data for accountability purposes, the agency plans to conduct analyses to identify districts and campuses with significant discrepancies between the percent of students who are classified as Two or More Races on the spring 2011 assessment documents and the fall 2010 PEIMS enrollment files.  Because districts and campuses will have the benefit of rating evaluations calculated under two student group options, no appeals related to the new race and ethnicity definitions will be considered for any indicator in 2011. 2011 AYP Calculation Preview (cont.) 13

14 14 2011 AYP Calculation Preview (cont.) Expansion of State Accountability Pairing Requests for PK/K Campuses As a result of the May, 2010 Title I monitoring review, the USDE recommended that Texas provide AYP evaluations for PK/K campuses. To meet this requirement, the existing state accountability pairing application is expanded to implement pairing assignments for PK/K campuses for federal accountability AYP purposes only. The pairing process for PK/K campuses in AYP will be similar to the AYP pairing of campuses for results in past years.

15 15 2011 AYP Calculation Preview (cont.) Expansion of State Accountability Pairing Requests for PK/K Campuses The 2010 AYP Guide describes the AYP pairing process: If the small campus or district missed AYP, the results at the all students level will be applied to the paired campus for the subject. Campuses that do not have such a pairing relationship will have their district’s performance (again, at the all students level) applied to the campus.

16 16 2011 AYP Calculation Preview (cont.) Expansion of State Accountability Pairing Requests for PK/K Campuses For 2011 AYP, the pairing process is adjusted slightly for PK/K campuses : For PK/K campuses, if the information was not provided through the TEASE pairing application, campus pairing decisions will be assigned by TEA. The assignment will be based on analysis of attendance and enrollment patterns; an assignment may be made to the district results. Results at the all students level will be applied to the paired campus for the subject.

17 17 Texas AYP Workbook The USDE has offered tentative approval of the 2011 AYP amendment requests. Requested Amendments for 2012 AYP TEA will submit a modified amendment request for 2012 AYP. The option to carry forward 2011 AYP and maintain School Improvement Program (SIP) intervention stages status for all campuses and districts was not approved. A series of bridge studies are planned by the test contractor to identify the existing TAKS performance standards on the new STAAR assessments for tests on which STAAR performance standards will not yet be available. Grade 3–8 bridge studies are expected to be completed in the summer of 2012.

18 18 Texas AYP Workbook (cont.) Possible Amendments for 2012 AYP Conduct 2012 AYP evaluations for all campuses and districts using 2011–2012 TAKS results for Grade 10 and 2011–2012 STAAR results for Grade 3–8 at the TAKS proficiency standard. 2012 AYP results may be completed by August, 2012. Consider Graduation Rate target amendment requests given that the 2012 graduation rate targets are applied to every student group. Note that this is one option presented in the House Bill 3 Transition Plan, Chapter 16, page III – 4 (see http://www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/hb3plan/) http://www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/hb3plan/
