TPM was used for the first time in 2009 AYP evaluations.

TPM allowed 10% (126) of districts to Meet AYP that would have otherwise missed AYP; and 6% (528) of campuses.

TPM will continue to be used in the same manner as in 2009.

Available in Spring 2010

TAKS–Modified (TAKS- M)

TPM projections will be reported for TAKS–M results in school year 2009-2010 for grades 4, 7, and 10.

TAKS-Alternate (TAKS-Alt)

The TAKS-Alt Growth Measure will be reported for all grades and will identify students on track to meet the TAKS-Alt standard.

10

The Federal Cap process will include student results that

– meet the standard on TAKS-M or TAKS-Alt,

– are projected to meet the TAKS-M standard based on TPM,

– are on track to meet the TAKS-Alt standard based on the TAKS-Alt Growth Measure.


11

2010 Preview: AYP Federal Caps

The 2010 AYP Federal Cap process will not change, and continues to be effective for districts and campuses.

Of those missing 2009 AYP solely due to the 1% and/or 2% caps:

52% (113) of districts and 6% (22) of campuses, compared to

18% (71) of districts and 1% (12) of campuses in 2008.

12

2010 Preview: AYP Federal Caps (cont.)

Review of the 1% Federal Cap

Students are selected randomly from TAKS-Alt results.

TAKS-Alt results processed for the cap include:

Meet Standard on TAKS-Alt,

On track to meet the TAKS-Alt standard based on the TAKS-Alt Growth Measure.

13



Exceptions to the 1% cap will be processed prior to the Preliminary AYP Release in August 2010 for:

School districts registered with the TEA Special Education Residential Facilities Tracking System (RF Tracker) for school year 2009-10.

School districts included in the 2009-10 Directory for Services for the Deaf in Texas, Regional Day School Programs for the Deaf (RDSPD).

14



Other Circumstance Exceptions to the 1% Cap were allowable and were submitted as a regular appeal through the online system.

The statewide 1% cap limit was sufficient to allow every school districts with an exception to include all TAKS-Alt passing students as proficient for AYP (in effect, remove the 1% cap).

15



Step 1) TEA prioritizes campuses by grades served and proportion of students with disabilities enrolled. School districts have the opportunity to review and/or modify the campus rankings.

Step 2) Student results are selected in order to maximize the number of campuses that Meet AYP beginning with the campuses assigned the highest priority.

16



TAKS-M results processed for the cap include:

Meet Standard on TAKS-M,

Projected to meet the TAKS-M standard based on TPM (for school year 2009-2010, TPM on TAKS-M is available for grades 4, 7, and 10 only).

17


1% and 2% Federal Caps

Reminder: The federal cap relates to counting students as proficient for AYP purposes only and does not limit the number of students that may take an alternate assessment.

State policies and procedures related to assessment decision-making are detailed in the TEA publication titled Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) Committee Decision-Making Process for the Texas Assessment Program.

18


A review of the federal cap process will be provided through a district accessible Texas Education Telecommunications Network (TETN) session on May 20, 2010 from 1pm-3pm (Event # 7362). Contact your school district or ESC for more information.

The 2010 Texas AYP Workbook is required to include specific information outlined in the final Title I regulations issued on October 28, 2008 for the following:

2010 AYP: Peer Review of Texas Graduation Rate information only.

2010 AYP: Graduation Rate Goals and Targets required.

2012 AYP: Disaggregated Cohort Graduation Rate Data to determine AYP.

Extended-Year Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate allowed for evaluation of AYP when available.

2010 Preview: Texas AYP Workbook

Regulations also require:

Disaggregating Graduation Rate Data– √ Report the four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate

or a transitional graduation rate reported for school, district, and state levels by student groups prior to school year 2010–11;

– √ States report the four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate by the 2010–11 school year; and

– Use the cohort graduation rate by student group in 2012 AYP.

On November 19, 2009, and on January 13, 2010, the Title I Committee of Practitioners (COP) reviewed the recommended changes to the 2010 AYP Workbook and Federal Cap process for 2010.

On January 15, 2010, TEA submitted a Graduation Rate information template for peer review containing proposed changes in the AYP graduation rate calculations, as required under final regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Education on October 28, 2008.

A summary of the Graduation Rate peer review template may be viewed at http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/ayp/grad_sum.pdf


Graduation Rate Template Submission:

– Texas sets the overall statewide Graduation Rate goal at 90%.

– Texas will use both a

annual target for the 4-year rate, or

annual target for the 5-year rate


22

Graduation Rate Template Submission:– Texas provides three alternatives to meet the

Graduation Rate indicator on the 4-year graduate rate:

Absolute standard of 75.0%, or

Improvement standard, similar to safe harbor calculation (10% decline in the difference between the prior year rate and the goal), or

1.0 percentage point increase in rate.


23


– Texas provides one additional alternative to meet the Graduation Rate indicator based on the 5-year graduation rate:

Absolute standard of 80.0%.


24


– Texas provides an alternative to the LEP student group definition for Graduation Rate in AYP; defined as students served by the LEP program during any of their years in Texas public schools.


25


– Standards for 2011 and beyond are not included in the amendments requests, although the improvement standard would apply to 2011 and beyond.

– Proposed amendments to the 2011 Texas AYP Workbook will include a transition plan for new End of Course assessments with annual graduation rate targets submitted as part of the transition plan.


26

27


Following the required Graduation Rate submission, TEA submitted requested amendments to the U.S. Department of Education on February 15, 2010 for the 2009-10 AYP evaluation.

Amendments to the 2010 AYP Workbook:

1) Updates to reflect the June 23, 2009 fully approved status of the Texas standards and assessment system;

2) The use of additional growth measures for TAKS-M and TAKS-Alt;

28


Amendments to the 2010 AYP Workbook (cont.)

3) Changes to the assignment of students to the limited-English proficient student group for the graduation rate calculations;

4) Removal of hurricane provisions that applied only to 2008-2009 AYP determinations.

Texas No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Report Card

Section 1111(h)(1) and (2) of the ESEA amended by the NCLB Act requires the annual reporting of student achievement and AYP information.

For 2008-09, and beyond, the US Department of Education requires that Texas’ state, district, and campus reports be accessible by stakeholders in one document.

On January 29, 2010, the Texas NCLB Report Card (Tx NCLB RC) was released for easy dissemination by school districts. They may be accessed at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index4.aspx?id=4638&menu_id=798. 29

Texas NCLB Report Card (cont.)

There are five sections that make up the NCLB SRC:

– Part I – Percent of Students Tested, Student Achievement by Proficiency Level Achievement Trend Data

– Part II, a. – Comparison Between Student Achievement and the State's Academic Expectations as measured by Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

– Part II, b. – Number of Recently Arrived LEP Students Who Are Not Assessed on the State's Reading/ELA Test

30


Sections of the Texas NCLB RC, continued:

– Part III – Information on Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and School Improvement Program (SIP) for districts and campuses receiving Title I, Part A funds

Appendix E of the 2009 AYP Guide (page 137) describes the relationship between the Part I of the Texas NCLB RC and AYP performance results. There are other differences in the reports that are not provided in the 2009 AYP Guide Appendix.
