Why a Performance Index ?

With a performance Index, the resulting rating reflects overall performance for the campus or district rather than the weakest performance of one student group/subject area.

Multiple indexes can be used in the framework to ensure accountability for every student.

Any number of indicators and student groups can be added to the system without creating additional targets for campuses and districts to meet.

What you need to know to calculate Index 3?

Subjects…

• STAAR English 3-8 and STAAR Spanish 3-5 at phase-in Level II

• EOC at phase-in Level II for spring, and the previous fall and summer

• STAAR 3-8 and EOC Modified and Alternative at Level II

• Retest results 5 and 8 from 1st retest• TAKS Grade 11 in 2013

System Safeguards

Purpose• Ensure system disaggregates

performance by student group, performance level, subject area, and grade

• Target for disaggregated results meet and exceed federal requirements– Performance Target– Participation Rate – Graduation rate targets and improvement– Limit on Alternative Assessments

Impact• Results are reported for any cell that

meets minimum size criteria.• Failure to meet the safeguard target

for any reported cell must be addressed

• Performance on the safeguard indicators are incorporated into the Texas Accountability Intervention System (TAIS)

How does the system safeguards ensure high

expectations for all students?

Using these sample reports, how would you advise a

campus that met all Index standards but only 85% of the system safeguards?
