State and Federal Accountability Overview
Accountability System Design
Accountability Goals3
Improving student achievement at all levels in the core subjects of the state curriculum.*
Ensuring the progress of all students toward achieving Advanced Academic Performance.*
Closing Advanced Academic Performance level gaps among groups.*
Closing gaps among groups in the percentage of students graduating under the recommended high school program and advanced high school program.*
Rewarding excellence based on other indicators in addition to state assessment results.
The committees adopted a set of Guiding Principles that will be used to inform the accountability development process.
* These goals are specified in Chapter 39.053(f) of the Texas Education Code.
Accountability Framework4
Primary Factors Considered for Selecting Performance Index Framework
Accountability System Goals and Guiding Principles
APAC/ATAC March 2012 Meeting outcome
Statutory Requirements of House Bill 3 (2009) Focus on Postsecondary Readiness Inclusion of Student Progress Emphasis on Closing Achievement Gaps
New STAAR program with EOC-based assessments for middle schools and high schools
Lessons learned from previous Texas public school accountability rating systems (1994–2002 and 2004–2011)
Successful models used by other states (CA, CO, FL, GA, KY, OH, NC, and SC)
Performance Index Framework5
What is a Performance Index?
Each measure contributes points to an index score.
Districts and campuses are required to meet one accountability target—the total index score.
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.
Performance Index Framework6
For 2013 and beyond, a framework of four Performance Indexes will include a broad set of measures that provide a comprehensive evaluation of the entire campus or district.

Performance Index Criteria7
Commissioner of Education Final Decisions on Accountability Ratings Criteria and Targets for 2013
2013 Rating Labels:
Met Standard – met performance index targets Met Alternative Standard – met modified performance index targets for
alternative education campuses and districts Improvement Required – did not meet one or more performance index
targets.
2013 Transition Year: The 2013 ratings criteria and targets will stand alone because the performance index framework cannot be fully implemented in 2013.
Performance Index Criteria8
Commissioner of Education Final Decisions on Accountability Ratings Criteria and Targets for 2013
To receive a Met Standard rating, all campuses and districts must meet the following accountability targets on all indexes for which they have performance data in 2013.
* Target will be set at about the fifth percentile of campus performance and will be applied to both campuses and districts.

Index 1: Student Achievement10
Index 1 Student Achievement provides an overview of student performance based on satisfactory student achievement across all subjects for all students.
Subjects: Combined over Reading, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies.
Student Groups: All Students only
Performance Standards: Phase-in Level II (Satisfactory)

Index Score 45
Index 1 Construction
Since Index 1 has only one indicator, the Total Index Points and Index Score are the same: Index Score = Total Index Points. Total Index Points is the percentage of assessments that met the Phase-in Level II Standard.
Each percent of students meeting the Phase-in Level II performance standard contributes one point to the index. Index scores range from 0 to 100 for all campuses and districts.
12
Index 2: Student Progress focuses on actual student growth independent of overall achievement levels for each race/ethnicity student group, students with disabilities, and English language learners.
By Subject Area: Reading, Mathematics, and Writing for available grades.
Credit based on weighted performance:
One point credit given for each percentage of students at the Met growth expectations level.
Two point credit given for each percentage of students at the Exceeded growth expectations level.

Phase-in Level II satisfactory performance (2013 and beyond) One point for each percent of students at the phase-in Level II satisfactory performance standard.
Level III advanced performance (2014 and beyond) Two points for each percent of students at the Level III advanced performance standard.
The STAAR weighted performance rate calculation must be modified for 2013 because STAAR Level III advanced performance cannot be included in the indicator until 2014.
Index 3: Closing Performance Gaps
Index 3: Closing Performance Gaps emphasizes advanced academic achievement of economically disadvantaged students and the two lowest performing race/ethnicity student groups.
Index 3: Closing Performance Gaps16
By Subject Area: Reading, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies.
Student Groups Socioeconomic: Economically Disadvantaged
Lowest Performing Race/Ethnicity: The two lowest performing race/ethnicity student groups on the campus or district (based on prior-year assessment results).

Summary of AEA Calculation
System Safeguards23
Apply Safeguards to Specific Performance Indexes:
Ensure reporting system disaggregates performance by student group, performance level, subject area, and grade;
Performance rates are calculated from the assessment results used to calculate performance rates in the performance index (Index 1).
Target for the disaggregated results meet federal requirements: STAAR performance target corresponds to Index 1, STAAR participation target as required by federal accountability, Federal graduation rate targets and improvement calculations, Federal limit on use of alternate assessments.

Federal Accountability for 2013
Texas Education Agency submitted a waiver request to the United States Department of Education (USDE) on February 28, 2013.
The waiver included a request to use the new state accountability system (performance indexes and system safeguards) to evaluate campuses and districts in place of federal Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) evaluations.
The proposed 2013 Texas Accountability Workbook was submitted with the waiver request (Attachment 8) and may be accessed at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=25769803880.

Distinction Designation Indicators
Twenty-two indicators will be used to determine outstanding academic achievement and will vary by type of campus and by subject.
Indicators evaluated include performance at the STAAR Level III (Advanced) standard for selected grades and subject areas in elementary and middle schools, and indicators including SAT/ACT and AP/IB participation and performance for high schools.
For details, refer to Final Decisions on Academic Achievement Distinction Designations at http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/perfreport/account/2013/index.html.
Distinction Designation Framework Steps
The framework for distinction designations uses four steps to determine a campus distinction.
Step 1: Campus Comparison Group and ProfileA campus comparison group of 40 campuses is selected for each campus. Campus performance on each distinction indicator, by subject, is reported.
Step 2: Top 25%For each indicator, compare the performance of the target campus to the performance of the campuses in the comparison group. For example, Campus A is in the top 25% of campuses among a 40 campus comparison group on a particular distinction indicator.
Academic Achievement Distinction Designations
34
Distinction Designation Framework Steps (continued)
Step 3: Campus Outcome by SubjectGenerate a single outcome by subject for each campus based on the percent of measures in the top quartile. For example, Campus A achieved the top 25% in three of the six (50%) mathematics distinction indicators that were evaluated for the campus.
Step 4: Apply State TargetThe statewide evaluation of campus outcomes identify the top campus distinction designations by subject. For example, campuses that outperformed their peers on 50% or more of the mathematics distinction indicators evaluated are qualified to receive an academic distinction in mathematics.
Academic Achievement Distinction Designations
35
Recommended Targets
Campuses in the top 25% (top quartile) of their campus comparison group in Step 2 are eligible for a distinction designation for that subject area.
Statewide Targets are designated by type of campus:
Elementary and middle school campuses in the top quartile on at least 50% of their eligible measures are qualified to receive a distinction designation for that subject area.
High schools and K-12 Campuses in the top quartile on at least 33% of their eligible measures are qualified to receive a distinction designation for that subject area.
