2011 Texas AYP Workbook

Requested Amendments to 2011 AYP

Phase-in for the TAKS–M projection equations (TPM)

TPM projections are expected to be reported for TAKS–M reading and mathematics tests in school year 2010-2011 for grades 3 and 6.

The 2011 Federal Cap process will remain the same as 2010 AYP, with the addition of the TAKS-M TPM for grades 3 and 6.

Graduation Rate Annual Target

Request to hold the 2010 graduation rate targets constant for 2011 and 2012 AYP, since student group evaluations are required beginning in 2012.
