2 Word Wall Term Assessed Curriculum TEA Definition Texas Education Agency Student Assessment Division September 2010 The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) that are eligible to be assessed (i.e. can be tested in a multiple choice, griddable, or open-ended response manner) Notes: Standard Readiness Standard Readiness standards have the following characteristics: They are essential for success in the current grade or course. They are important for preparedness for the next grade or course. They support college and career readiness. They necessitate in-depth instruction. They address broad and deep ideas. TEKS and Corresponding Student Expectations Supporting Standard Supporting standards have the following characteristics: Although introduced in the current grade or course, they may be emphasized in a subsequent year. Although reinforced in the current grade or course, they may be emphasized in a previous year. They play a role in preparing students for the next grade or course but not a central role. They address more narrowly defined ideas. Supporting standards: Support a current readiness standard Serve as a foundation for a readiness standard in another grade level Are important but not critical to the grade level Process Standard [Student expectations that relate to the skills of the content area] In social studies, science, and mathematics, process skills will be assessed in context, not in isolation, which will allow for a more integrated and authentic assessment of these content areas. Process standards are noted in the TEKS as: Underlying Processes and Mathematical Tools Scientific Investigation and Reasoning Skills Social Studies Skills Ineligible Standard TEKS for a grade level/course which cannot be assessed in a traditional format Reporting Category The assessed curriculum documents show the reporting categories (referred to as objectives on TAKS) Standards bundled around a common concept, topic, or context lead4ward, LLC 2012 page 1

4 for Students with Special Needs REV Jan Versions of Topic What We Know Considerations Beginning in , ALL students in grades 3-11 who are eligible for an alternate assessment based on alternate academic achievement standards will take Alternate. TAKS Alt is no longer available. Design Features: Alternate is similar in design to TAKS Alt (but is more rigorous) Students perform assessment tasks linked to the grade-level TEKS Alternate incorporates a vertical alignment in assessment tasks that will allow scores to be compared across different grades for the same subject 4 essence statements assessed per subject - all state developed and required More rigorous standardized assessment tasks at 3 levels of complexity developed from state-selected prerequisite skills 3 state-developed predetermined criteria for scoring each assessment task Online automated scoring with higher point total opportunities based on teacher evaluation of student performance Participation Requirements (student must meet ALL 5 with specific justification in IEP for each criterion): 1. Does the student have a significant cognitive disability (i.e., limited potential to reach grade-level expectations)? 2. Does the student require specialized supports to access the grade-level curriculum and environment (e.g., specialized academic instruction and support in areas such as expressing needs, getting from place to place, eating lunch, negotiating social situations, and/or taking care of personal needs)? 3. Does the student require intensive, individualized instruction in a variety of instructional settings? 4. Does the student access and participate in the grade-level TEKS through prerequisite skills (that are linked to the grade-level curriculum)? 5. Does the student primarily demonstrate knowledge and skills through performance tasks? Alternate Assessments (performance standards to be set in fall 2012) Alternate Grades 3-8 same subjects as EOCs o English I, II, III o Algebra I, Geometry o World Geography, World History, U.S. History o Biology Alternate EOCs and Alignment of High School Courses Students taking Alternate graduate under the Minimum High School Program (MHSP) Course requirements are specified in MHSP Students taking Alternate must be enrolled in courses with PEIMS numbers that identify the courses as alternate substitutes for MHSP-required courses High school students must participate in Alternate assessments for all courses required for graduation under MHSP 15% and cumulative score requirements are not applicable to Alternate Students who are eligible to receive special education services on the basis of a learning disability are not eligible for Alternate (by definition a student with a learning disability cannot have a cognitive disability) Requirement for students to take Alternate for ALL courses in MHSP is subject to some exceptions: o students in grades 10, 11 or 12 in who received course credit for required courses prior to (TAKS-Alt results can be used to provide assurance of alignment of prior courses to TEKS) o out-of-state or private school transfer students who are granted credit for courses earned before transferring (ARDC must carefully consider whether the courses are aligned to the TEKS credit may only be granted if courses are aligned) Consider how the essence statements relate to the Readiness Standards Provide opportunities for students to learn and generalize their learning Consider opportunities for students to access content with peers in academic and social settings Communicate expectations with parents lead4ward, LLC 2011 Page 1 of 5 lead4ward, LLC 2012 page 3
5 for Students with Special Needs REV Jan 2012 Topic What We Know Considerations Design of Based on same content as (will reflect increased rigor and focus) 80% of the length of Performance standards will be set as aligned system across grades in a specific subject Will include embedded field test items Students will be required to respond to writing tasks focused on different purposes including personal narrative, literary, expository, persuasive, and analytical writing participation requirements (student must meet all 3 with specific justification and evidence in IEP for each criterion): 1. Based on the PLAAFPs does the ARDC conclude that the student is multiple years behind grade-level or course expectations and will not progress at the same rate and level of rigor as his/her non-disabled peers? 2. Does student s IEP contain TEKS-based goals indicating the modified content the student requires in order to access the grade-level or course curriculum? 3. Does student require direct (i.e., small group or individualized) and intensive (continuous and focused) instruction in order to acquire, maintain, and transfer skills to other contexts? Impact on graduation must be addressed (even at elementary and middle school) Assessments (performance standards to be set in fall 2012 for Grades 3-8 and English I, Algebra I, World Geography and Biology) Grades 3-8 same subjects as EOCs o English I (English II available in 2013, English III available in 2014) o Algebra I (Geometry available in 2013) o World Geography (World History available in 2013, U.S. History available in 2014) o Biology EOCs and Alignment of High School Courses Students taking graduate under the Minimum High School Program (MHSP) Course requirements are specified in MHSP Students taking must be enrolled in courses with PEIMS numbers that identify the courses as modified substitutes for MHSP-required courses 15% and cumulative score requirements are not applicable to Focus, clarity and depth apply to as well as Need for rigorous instruction at the cognitive complexity of the TEKS for students with disabilities More formal structure for ARDC to determine that a student meets participation requirements need for multiple sources of measurable, objective evidence Impact on future graduation options for student o Communications with staff o Communication with parents o Integration with counseling/guidance services is intended for a small number of students receiving special education services whose disability significantly affects their academic progress in certain subjects or courses Content knowledge of special educators (and general educators) Use of Sample Items (not yet posted) Revise data collection processes for ARDC meetings consider collecting data around readiness standards Review IEP goals and objectives for TEKS base and links to grade level curriculum Provide tiered support for teachers based on EOCs offered lead4ward, LLC 2011 Page 2 of 5 lead4ward, LLC 2012 page 4
