Board ReportJune 2003
Elevating Assessment Standards: Migrating from TAAS to TAKS
The State of Texas recognized a need for more rigorous assessment standards because the TAAS exam no longer measured the full potential of our students or our schools.
State regulations prevented TAAS testing contractors from making TAAS questions “more difficult” over time.
Elevating Assessment Standards: State Methodology
In 2003, Texas elevated testing standards by:
Expanding the testing program to include more grades and subjects.
Making test questions harder through the introduction of a new test: Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS).
Elevating Assessment Standards: Including More Grades and Subjects
2003 Changes From TAAS to TAKS
Subject Area ChangeReading Added in Grade 9
Writing Moved to Grade 7; deleted in Grade 10
Mathematics Added in Grades 9 and 11
English language arts Added in Grades 10 and 11(including writing)
Science Added in Grades 5, 10, and 11; deleted in Grade 8
Social studies Added in Grades 10 and 11

Exit Level (Grade 10)
Express or solve problems using mathematical representation
A. 0.10(2 + d) = 3.50B. (0.10)(2) + d = 3.50C. 2(0.10d) = 3.50D. 2 + 0.10d = 3.50*E. 2(0.10 + d)= 3.50
The fare for riding in a taxi is a $2 fixed charge and $0.10 per mile. The fare for a ride of d miles is $3.50. Which equation could be used to find d ?
Exit Level (Grade 11) Prototype Item
Formulate and use linear equations and inequalities The equations of two lines are:4x - 5y = -15 and y = 4 / 5x - 6Which of the following describes their point of
intersection?
A. (1.875, 4.5)B. (-5, 1)C. (10, -5)D. No intersection*
Grade 5 Mathematics Prototype Item
Demonstrate an understanding of probability and statistics TEKS 5.12, 5.13
The chart shows the high temperature for today’s date for five consecutive years.

What is the median high temperature in °F for this date? Record your answer and fill in the correct bubbles on the answer document.
Item demonstrates that students now have some questions in which the answer cannot be selected, but must be calculated with precision.
Elevating Assessment Standards: Making Test Questions More Difficult
Like TAAS, the TAKS test also measures understanding of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. However, the level of difficulty of questions is much harder. For example:

Elevating Assessment Standards: Benchmarking TAKS Performance Measurement
The following slides outline our current performance in regard to TAKS.It is counterproductive to measure current performance against TAAS, since this is an “apples to oranges” comparison. Our best performance indicator is our “relative performance” in terms of state scores, which are currently available only at grade levels.

Elevating Assessment Standards: Statewide Implications of TAAS to TAKS
The increase in item difficulty widened the gap between economically disadvantaged students and the all student group in most subjects at the state level this year. For example: at Grade 5 Science, economically disadvantaged students scored 17 percentage points below the all student group. This gap ranged from 12 to 14 percentage points for math at Grades 9, 10 and 11.Since 90% of students in SAISD are economically disadvantaged, district scores are compared to the state in this area. In SAISD, economically disadvantaged scores are usually exactly the same as the all student group. (The only district variance was that in seven measures economically disadvantaged students were one percentage point lower. See grades noted with *.)

Elevating Assessment Standards: Migrating from TAAS to TAKS
SAISD and other districts are at the beginning of a new testing cycle with TAKS. The TAKS test will be “phased in” over a period of three years.
The number of questions needed to pass the test will go up over the next two years at every grade level and in every subject. This number varies across every test.
In 2005, we will be at the level of difficulty the state originally planned.
In the following graphs, the blue bar indicates where we are. The red striped bar indicates where we would be if there were no phase in period prior to 2005.

SAISD and Destination Exemplary
Our focus has changed this year to include a broader, conceptual approach to the TEKS.Diagnostic data, now available, will be invaluable in guiding us toward excellence in the coming year.
