TAKS Released Items
SB 1031 changed the release of tests to every three years
SBOE sets the release schedule
Release plan is scheduled for second reading and adoption by SBOE in September
TRC Math 10/22/08 31
TAKS Released Items
SBOE September meeting canceled due to Hurricane Ike
SBOE September meeting rescheduled for 09/29/08
Approved release plan will be posted to TEA student assessment website
TRC Math 10/22/08 32
TAKS Vertical Scale
SB 1031 requires a vertical scale in grades 3–8 for mathematics and reading starting with the 2008–2009 school year
Vertical scale score system will allow for the direct comparison of student test scores and evaluation of student progress across grade levels
Vertical scale score system will allow for the direct comparison of academic performance standards across grade levels
TRC Math 10/22/08 33
TAKS Vertical Scale
Committees will convene in October to review the academic performance standards currently in place on TAKS mathematics at grades 3–8
Committees will make a recommendation to TEA and SBOE about whether the current academic performance standards will need adjustments to conform to a vertical scale
TRC Math 10/22/08 34
TAKS Vertical Scale
TAKS vertical scale score and standards review recommendation will go to SBOE for first reading in November 2008
TAKS vertical scale score and standards review recommendation will go to SBOE for second reading and adoption in January 2009
TAKS scores will be reported using the vertical scale score system in spring 2009

EOC Assessments
SB 1031 requires the phase out of high school TAKS and replaces it with EOC assessments inEnglish I, English II, English IIIAlgebra I, Algebra II, GeometryBiology, Chemistry, PhysicsU.S. History, World History, World Geography
Freshman class of 2011–2012 is first group to have EOC as graduation requirement (i.e., current 6th graders)
