Notes de l'éditeur
Refer participants to the “Accountability Standards 2009-2011” document in their binder. Let’s look at the information contained in this document. This slide reflects the accountability standards for academic performance on the TAKs. The top portion of your document, the TAKS indicator, is the percentage of students who scored high enough to meet the standard to pass the test. Results of the TAKS (grades 3-11) are summed across grade levels for each subject. Results for each subject are evaluated separately to determine ratings. As the chart on your document and this slide shows, the academically acceptable standard varies by subject while the recognized and exemplary standards are the same for all subjects. Note where the standards for recognized and acceptable will increase this year. This is noted in red on the slide.
Continue to refer participants to the “Accountability Standards 2009-2011” document in their binder. Another component of the state accountability system is the annual dropout rate. For accountability purposes, the annual dropout rate is used to evaluate campuses and districts with students in grades 7 and/or 8. This is a one year measure calculated by summing the numbers of dropouts across the two grades. As this slide shows the 2010 standard is 1.8% or less for all rating categories. Since the 2007 rating cycle, dropouts have been determined based on Texas’ new, more rigorous, dropout definition, which is aligned with the federal definition of a dropout. The definition is “A dropout is a student who was enrolled in 2007-2008 in a TX public school in grades 7 -12 but did not return to a TX public school the following fall within the ‘school start window’, was not expelled, did not graduate, receive a GED, continue high school outside the TX public school system, or begin college, or die." The current year’s accountability rating is based on the drop-outs from 1 year ago. For instance if a campus that serves grades 7-8 exceeds 2% drop-out rate from their 2007-08 school year data that school will be designated academically unacceptable in 2009. Another important note – this year the requirement is that students be enrolled by Sept 25 th (the last Friday in September which is the end of the “School Start Window.”)
