Your Input Is Needed
Educator involvement in test development is critical to process
Highly qualified educators are needed to serve on educator committees, especially at the high school level
The Educator Recommendation Form can be found at http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/develop/recform.pdf
36
EOC Assessments
EOC assessments shall measure a student’s performance on college and career readiness standards
EOC assessments will include questions to measure college readiness (Algebra II and English III)
If a link is substantiated between performance on science and/or social studies EOC assessments and college readiness, then college readiness performance standards may be established
37
EOC Assessments A student must achieve a minimum score, as
determined by the commissioner, for the score to count towards the student’s cumulative score
A student’s cumulative score is determined using the student’s highest score on each EOC assessment
The 0–100 scale with references to scores of 60 and 70 has been deleted from the law
38
EOC Assessments
If a student does not achieve the minimum score on an EOC assessment, the student shall retake the assessment
If a student does not perform satisfactorily on the college-readiness component of the EOC assessments for Algebra II or English III, the student may retake the assessment
39
EOC Assessments
A student’s score on an EOC assessment will be worth 15% of the student’s final grade for that course
A school district is not required to use the student’s score on subsequent administrations to determine the student’s final grade for that course
40
Effects of Social Studies TEKS Revisions on Assessments
Assessments will be aligned to TEKS in place in the state for that school year
