ESSA and AccountabilityDisclaimer: TEA is Waiting on Guidance Before
Answering Any Questions
TimelineNo changes to 2015-2016 accountability
2016-2017 will be a transition year
2017-2018 will be full implementation
Testing RequirementsMaintains current testing requirements
8th Graders in Algebra 1 do not double test
No Modified Tests
1% cap on STAAR Alt 2
Not mandated for an LEA, but going over means you have to report to the state
StandardsStates must adopt challenging academic content and achievement standards in Math, ELAR, and Science with not less than 3 levels of achievement
Standards must be aligned to entrance requirements for the State’s public higher education and CTE standards
May measure individual growth
Goals are set by the State
AccountabilityAYP is eliminated
New system must be developed with local stakeholders
Replaced with an Index of Accountability with long-term goals that measure certain indicators, including:
Academic achievement on State assessments
Graduation Rates
Progress in Achieving English Language Proficiency for ELLs
A measure of school quality and student success
95% participation
InterventionsSchool improvement grants will be replaced by a capacity building approach at the local level. School improvement, restructuring, etc will be replaced by two categories:
Comprehensive or Targeted Support and Improvement
Beginning in 2017-2018 and once every 3 years
Criteria:
Bottom 5% of schools
High schools graduating less than ⅔ of their students
Schools in which a subgroup is consistently underperforming in the same manner as the lowest 5% of schools
States set exit criteria
“Evidence Based Strategies”Defined in the law:
as being strong evidence with at least one well-designed experimental study, moderate evidence from one well-designed quasi experimental study, or promising evidence from at least one well-designed correlational study, you can also include ongoing evaluation and proven strategies
What About Current Focus/Priority Schools?States have 2 options, and must notify the Feds by Jan 29:
Option A: Do not exit schools and maintain current identification. A State may “freeze” its current lists of priority and focus schools as of December 10, 2015. These schools would continue to implement their approved interventions through the 2015–2016 and 2016–2017 school years. The State would not be able to exit schools from the current lists until after the 2016–2017 school year.
Former Focus/Priority Schools cont’dOption B: Exit schools and identify new priority and focus schools. A State may exit priority and focus schools that meet the State’s approved exit criteria and identify new priority (at least 5 percent of Title I schools) and focus (at least 10 percent of Title I schools) schools based on more recent data. Newly identified schools, as well as those that remain on these lists because they did not meet the State’s exit criteria, would implement their approved interventions through the 2016–2017 school year. A State selecting this option must provide updated lists of priority and focus schools to ED by Monday, March 1, 2016.
What the Feds Cannot DoPrescribe goals for student achievement, either short-term or long-term
Tell states how turn around low-performing schools or intervene in them
Coerce or provide incentives to use a particular set of standards
Specify any parameter of teacher/school leaders
Use money to design or force the use of a national test
Tell states how they must factor in participation
it must be included and be at least 95%, but how is up to the state
