• World Geography, World History, U.S. History
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 2

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
• All 12 EOC assessments will be available in 2011–2012
• Standard setting activities for the EOC program is planned for fall 2011 so that student performance can be reported after the spring 2012 administration
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 5
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
• In order to graduate, a student must achieve a cumulative score that is at least equal to the product of the number of EOC assessments taken in that content area and a scale score that indicates satisfactory performance
• For each of the four core content areas, the cumulative score ≥ n x passing scale score, where n = number of assessments taken
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 6
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
A student must achieve a minimum score, as determined by the commissioner, for the score to count towards the student’s cumulative score
A student’s cumulative score is determined using the student’s highest score on each EOC assessment
The 0–100 scale with references to scores of 60 and 70 has been deleted from the law
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 7
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
• If the passing scale score on each of the 3 mathematics EOC assessments happens to be 1000, then
• The cumulative score ≥ 3 x 1000
• The cumulative score ≥ 3000 2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 8
FOR EXAMPLE:FOR EXAMPLE:
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
If the minimum scale score on each of the 3 mathematics EOC assessments happens to be 900, then
Students must score at least 900 on each of the 3 mathematics EOC assessments
But scoring 900 on each of the 3 mathematics EOC assessments will not meet the cumulative score requirement of 3000
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 9
FOR EXAMPLE:FOR EXAMPLE:
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
If a student scores › 1200 on Algebra I› 800 on Geometry› 1100 on Algebra II
The student’s cumulative score is 2300
800 does not meet the minimum score requirement of 900 and therefore cannot be used towards the cumulative score
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 10
FOR EXAMPLE:FOR EXAMPLE:
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
If a student scores › 950 on Algebra I› 1000 on Geometry› 900 on Algebra II
The student’s cumulative score is 2850
2850 does not meet the cumulative score requirement of 3000; therefore the student must retest
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 11
FOR EXAMPLE:FOR EXAMPLE:
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
For students on the minimum plan
• The cumulative score is based on the number of courses taken for which an EOC assessment exists
• The cumulative score requirement may vary by subject area
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 12
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
• In addition to meeting the cumulative score requirement in each of the four core content areas, students on the recommended high school program have to perform satisfactorily on EOC assessments for– Algebra II– English III
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 13
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
• In addition to meeting the cumulative score requirement in each of the four core content areas, students on the distinguished achievement program have to perform satisfactorily on the college-readiness component of the EOC assessments for– Algebra II– English III
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 14
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
• If a student does not achieve the minimum score on an EOC assessment, the student shall retake the assessment
• If a student does not perform satisfactorily on the college-readiness component of the EOC assessments for Algebra II or English III, the student may retake the assessment
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 15
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
• A student is not required to retake a course as a condition of retaking an EOC assessment
• A school district shall provide accelerated instruction to each student who fails to perform satisfactorily on an EOC assessment
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 16
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
• A student’s score on an EOC assessment will be worth 15% of the student’s final grade for that course
• A school district is not required to use the student’s score on subsequent administrations to determine the student’s final grade for that course
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 17
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
A student’s satisfactory performance on an AP test, IB exam, SAT subject-area test, or another assessment determined to be at least as rigorous as an EOC assessment may be used as a factor in determining whether the student satisfies the cumulative score requirement
A student’s satisfactory performance on a PSAT or a preliminary ACT test may be used as a factor in determining whether the student satisfies the cumulative score requirement
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 18
COLLEGE READINESS
• College readiness means the level of preparation a student must attain in English language arts and mathematics courses to enroll and succeed, without remediation, in an entry-level general education course for credit in that same content area for a baccalaureate degree or associate degree program (House Bill 3, Section 39.024a)
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 19
COLLEGE READINESS

• College and career readiness standards are in the process of being incorporated into TEKS for social studies
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 20
COLLEGE READINESS
• Because the college and career readiness standards are being incorporated into the TEKS, these standards will be assessed on the EOC assessments
• EOC assessments shall measure a student’s performance on college readiness standards as required
2009 Assessment Conference
TEA Update on EOC Program 21
COLLEGE READINESS
• Algebra II and English III EOC assessments will include questions to measure college readiness
