Assessment
|
 Assessments of Course Performance (ACPs) are created in collaboration with Teaching and Learning, and are used each semester in grades K through 12 as part of the student summative evaluation. ACPs are created for courses in mathematics,reading/language arts, science, social studies, English as a second language(ESL), world languages, technology, health and fine arts. Data from the tests are summarized and presented on MyData Portal, for district and campus administrators and individual teachers who use the information to make instructional decisions. ACPs, per Board Policy, are a part of the course and represent 15% of a semester grade in High School and 10% of a semester grade in Middle School. For Elementary School, the ACP 5% of the semester grade for Grades 3-5.ccdd

NAEP is a congressionally mandated project of the National Center for Education Statistics. Located within the United States Department of Education and the Institute of Education Sciences, NAEP provides a comprehensive measure of students learning at critical junctures in their school experiences. It is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what America`s students know and can do in various subject areas. Assessments are conducted periodically in mathematics, reading, science, writing, the arts, civics, economics, geography, and U.S. history. In 2014, Technology and Engineering Literacy (TEL) were added to the subject areas assessed by NAEP.
Since NAEP assessments are administered uniformly across the nation, NAEP results serve as the nation`s report card and a common metric for all states and selected urban districts. This permits NAEP to provide a clear picture of students` academic progress over time (http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/about/).

TEA has developed the STAAR Alternate 2 assessment to meet the federal requirements mandated under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), a federal education law previously known as No Child Left Behind. TEA designed the STAAR Alternate 2 to assess students in grades 3-8 and high school who have significant cognitive disabilities and are receiving special education services.
TerraNova and Supera, Spanish version of the TerraNova, are normed-referenced achievement measures designed to provide achievement scores that are valid for most types of educational decision-making. The TerraNova will be used to assess English speakers at grades K-2, while the Supera will be used to assess Spanish speakers at the same grade levels. These tests use selected-response items to provide detailed comparative and diagnostic information on students¿ academic progress.Students will be assessed in the following content areas: Reading/Language Arts and Mathematics. Unlike the ITBS/Logramos where reading and language arts are separate content areas, they are combined on the TerraNova and Supera. The results compare individual student achievement relative to a nationwide normative group. In addition, the results can be used for the following purposes:
- To analyze strengths and weaknesses in student achievement in each content area;
- To plan for further instruction;
- To plan for curriculum development; and
- To report progress to parents.
Practice Tests
The practice tests are designed to introduce students to the mechanics of taking the test and to give the students an idea of the kind of questions they will be asked. The practice tests should take about 40 minutes to administer and should be given a day or two in advance of the actual test. Schools can order practice materials from the Assessment Service Center (972-925-4430) or directly from DRC. However, we have a limited quantity on hand.
