  34. Preview of 2010 AEA Procedures and Indicators

  35. 2010 Registered AECs • The list of 2010 Registered AECs is available on the AEA website at http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/aea/. • Each registered AEC must meet the 75% at-risk registration criterion in order to receive an AEA rating on July 30, 2010.

  36. At-Risk Registration Criterion • In April 2010, letters will be mailed to the registered AECs that do not meet the 75% at-risk registration criterion informing them the AEC will shift from AEA to standard accountability and that the AEC will be evaluated under 2010 standard accountability procedures. • The Final 2010 Registered AEC list will be posted on the AEA website in May 2010. This list will contain the AECs that will receive an AEA rating on July 30, 2010. • A list of the charter operators that will be rated under 2010 AEA procedures will be posted on the AEA website in May 2010.

  37. TAKS Progress Indicator • The TAKS Progress indicator includes all TAKS (Accommodated) results as described on slide 29. • The TAKS Progress indicator standard remains 50% for 2010. • The TAKS Progress indicator standard for 2011 will be reviewed with accountability advisory groups in spring 2010.

  38. TAKS Progress Indicator (cont.) • The TAKS Progress indicator sums performance results across grades (3-12) and subjects to determine ratings under AEA procedures. • This indicator is based on the number of tests taken, not on the number of students tested.

  39. Use of District At-Risk TAKS Data • Applies to AECs only – performance results of all students in the charter are included in the charter’s performance and used in determining the charter’s rating. • If the AEC does not meet the TAKS Progress standard or demonstrate Required Improvement based on results for fewer than 10 TAKS tests, or if there are no TAKS results for the AEC, then the AEC is evaluated on the district performance of at-risk students. • In 2009, district at-risk TAKS data were used to evaluate 45 AECs.

  40. Completion Rate II and Annual Dropout Rate (Grades 7-12) Indicators • The Completion Rate II indicator standard remains 60.0% for 2010. • The Annual Dropout Rate indicator standard remains 20.0% for 2010. • In spring 2010, the accountability advisory groups will review various options and make recommendations to the commissioner about the leaver indicators evaluated under AEA procedures for 2011.

  41. Completion Rate II Indicator • This longitudinal rate shows the percent of students who completed or who are continuing their education four years after first attending grade 9 in Texas. • Completion Rate II counts graduates, continuing students (students who return to school for a fifth year), and GED recipients in the definition for AECs of Choice and charters evaluated under AEA procedures. • Residential Facilities are not evaluated on the Completion Rate II indicator. Charters that operate only Residential Facilities are not evaluated on the Completion Rate II indicator. • Since 2008, only All Students are evaluated; student groups are not evaluated separately.

  42. Use of District At-RiskCompletion Rate II Data • Applies to AECs of Choice only – performance results of all students in the charter are included in the charter’s performance and used in determining the charter’s rating. • If the AEC of Choice does not meet the accountability standard or demonstrate Required Improvement, or if the AEC of Choice has students in grades 9, 10, 11, and/or 12 but does not have a Completion Rate II, then the AEC of Choice is evaluated on Completion Rate II (including GED recipients) of at-risk students in the district. • In 2009, district at-risk Completion Rate II data were used to evaluate 137 AECs of Choice.

  43. Annual Dropout Rate Indicator • The Annual Dropout Rate indicator is grade 7-12 dropouts as a percent of total students enrolled at the registered AEC or charter in grades 7-12 in a single school year. • Since 2008, only All Students are evaluated; student groups are not evaluated separately.

  44. Use of District At-RiskAnnual Dropout Rate Data • District at-risk dropout data were used for the first time in 2008 AEA ratings. • Applies to AECs only – performance results of all students in the charter are included in the charter’s performance and used in determining the charter’s rating. • If the AEC does not meet the accountability standard or demonstrate Required Improvement, then the AEC is evaluated on Annual Dropout Rate of at-risk students in the district. • In 2009, district at-risk Annual Dropout Rate data were used to evaluate 37 AECs.

  45. Update on HB 3 Implementation

  46. HB 3 Implementation Transition Plans through 2012 July 30, 20102010 ratings are issued under current accountability system. By December 1, 2010Transition plan to the new assessment and accountability/accreditation system is submitted to the governor, lieutenant governor, other key legislative members and staff, and the Legislative Budget Board (LBB).  August 1, 20112011 ratings are the last ratings issued under the current accountability system.

  47. HB 3 Implementation Transition Plans through 2012 2011-2012Assignment of accreditation statuses and performance ratings are suspended for this school year. New accreditation and academic accountability system is developed with input from the educator advisory groups on the timelines specified in the transition plan.

  48. HB 3 Implementation Transition Plans for 2013 August 8, 2013 District accreditation statuses and district and campus performance ratings are issued for the first time under new system. Ratings will be based on the percent proficient indicators. The percent college-ready indicators will be “report” only. Distinction designations will be issued to districts and campuses with acceptable performance concurrent with the release of performance ratings. Performance ratings and accreditation statuses issued in 2010-2011 and 2012-2013 school years will be considered consecutive.

  49. HB 3 Implementation Transition Plans for 2014 August 8, 2014 District accreditation statuses and district and campus performance ratings will be issued for second time. Ratings will be based on both percent proficient and percent college-ready indicators. Distinction designations will be issued to districts and campuses with acceptable performance concurrent with the release of performance ratings.
