Teachers need reliable input on how students are doing relative to a consistent set of state standards. Parents need to have access to clear information on where their students are, compared to previous years, and how much progress was made during the most recent school year. If students do not meet the passing standard on a STAAR EOC assessment, HB 4545 entitles students either to receive thirty hours of targeted tutoring before, during, or after school for each subject in which they did not pass the corresponding EOC assessment, or to be assigned to a classroom overseen by a certified master, exemplary, or recognized teacher.Ĭommissioner Morath added, “It is critical we use all available tools, including standardized tests, to measure student performance and help address any possible learning loss from COVID-19-related disruptions. We’re confident we’ll get there because Texas educators are all-in on helping their students to make the necessary academic gains."Īmong the policies to help support academic gains is House Bill 4545 (87R). “We have made some progress to date, but there is still work to be done to fully recover from the academic effects of the COVID slide. “These results provide encouraging evidence that the academic recovery plans adopted by the Texas Legislature and implemented by our state’s 370,000 dedicated teachers are working for our students,” said Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath.
In the two tests that did not show a negative impact from COVID-19, English I and English II, results stayed largely consistent from last school year.
