Connecting TAIS framework to PBMAS.
Being proactive- using data early and in combination with other accountability reports.
Creating common language across state –Refocusing on program effectiveness.
Addressing all PBMAS concerns in targeted improvement plans.

For SPED Indicator #1(i-iv), #3(i-iv), and CTE #4• It stipulates that any district that received a PL 0 or 0 RI on the SPED
STAAR Modified Participation Rate indicator in the 2014 PBMAS that would otherwise receive a PL 3 or PL 4 on SPED Indicator #1(i-iv) or #3 (i-iv) in the 2015 PBMAS will receive a PL 3 HH or PL 4 HH, as applicable for that subject area(s).
• For 2015 PBMAS interventions purposes, the count of PL 3 HH or PL 4 HH will not be considered in a district’s total PL 3 or PL 4 count in the program area.
Why are we transitioning to a new PL structure for the discipline indicators?
◦ The original expectation was that focusing on percentage point differences (DIFF) would encourage districts, regardless of PL assignment, to address issues of disproportionality, but this has not typically been the case. (these indicators’ progress rates have been slower than expected)
◦ Focusing on percentage point differences can mask very high rates of disproportionality and it may have even given some districts the impression they do not have disproportionate discipline placements, when they actually do.
Disproportionality rates are not a significantly different methodology from what’s currently used; they basically take the current calculations one step further and tell us how much higher the special education rate is compared to the all students rate, e.g., 50% higher, 10% higher, 200% higher.
The new PL structure is scheduled to be implemented with the 2017 PBMAS.
Consider and discuss with your table team how you might use this activity to help make connections between the TAIS framework and PBMAS performance and program effectiveness.
How could this process be enhanced in your district?

A district receives PBMAS data which indicates if programs are effective.
If data reflects that programs are not effective, something must be done to change that.
We need to intervene.
What does it mean to intervene?
the act of becoming involved in something in order to have an influence on what happens
Teachers not implementing behavior RtI process has led to a PL3 in overrepresentation of African American students in special education.

Avoids causation
Includes specific details
District has a 12% difference in the representation of African American students in special education (38%) as compared to the representation of African American students within the entire population (26%). Concise Gap in data Verified by data Written objectively Single manageable issue

A district report such as PBMAS is made up of data from campuses.
Districts must understand this relationship.
Mayberry ISD received a performance level 2 in the percent of students with disabilities who are removed to DAEP. They receive a PL3 in the report only indicator that looks at the disproportionality of DAEP placements for students with disabilities.
What’s wrong with that?
What could this be affecting?
What would a district need to focus on in reviewing this situation?
ALL?
Which campuses are contributing to this indicator?

Which campuses are contributing to this indicator?
SOME?
Which campuses are contributing to this indicator?
ONE?
The data from a campus must be analyzed to calculate the PL for this indicator.
The central office can influence what happens, but the campus has to make the change happen because they work with the students!

Where will I look in the manual? (Who)?
Where do I dig to identify trends with student groups?
How are indicators connected and impacting one another?
How do I look across programs, instructional settings, etc?
We identified an issue with ESL STAAR passing rate.
◦ Who are the ESL STAAR passing students?
◦ Were they SPED?
◦ Was inclusion used effectively?

We have a high number of discretionary placements to DAEP.
◦ Which campus?
◦ What offenses?
◦ What time of day/location/setting?
◦ Which administrators?
◦ Are they repeat offenders?
◦ How is instruction being delivered?
Happy ISD has a PL3 in SPED discretionary DAEP placements. I am meeting with the administrators from all 3 campuses in the district.
◦ What will you ask them to bring with them to the meeting.
◦ How will you frame the issue (your actual conversation)?
◦ What questions will you ask?
◦ What are the next steps that will follow this meeting?
◦ What will your role as the district level administrator be in “next steps?”
Activity:
◦ Identify one indicator on your PBMAS report with a PL 2, 3 or 4.
◦ Consider Bil/ESL, CTE, NCLB, SPED. (what other indicators is your chosen indicator impacting)
◦ What questions do we ask to dig deep into the meaning of the data and connections to other areas? (ex. 5 whys)
