Texas Education Agency (TEA) monitoring and intervention activities have been
designed to focus on a data-driven and performance-based system that will take
place in a continuous improvement model. Activities reflect an emphasis on data
integrity, data analysis, and increased student performance and improved
program effectiveness. The new system for TEA monitoring is referenced as the
Performance-Based Monitoring (PBM) system.
The PBM system for 2004-2005 reflects the use of graduated interventions based
on local education agency (LEA) performance as evidenced by the
Performance-Based Monitoring Analysis System (PBMAS) indicators. Results on
each PBMAS indicator and patterns across indicators were examined to determine
required levels of intervention.
Guidance and resources have been developed to address the graduated stages of
intervention for the 2004-2005 Pilot Year for Performance-Based Monitoring for
the special education program. Guidance and resource documents will be revised
in future years based on coordinated Agency monitoring decisions and feedback
from stakeholders and participants in the special education monitoring process.
A Submittal Coversheet
has been developed to send by email with the completed templates associated
with the activities listed below. LEAs will use the coversheet to indicate
which templates they are submitting for Agency review. Only one coversheet per
LEA needs to be completed for electronic submission to the TEA. LEA submissions
must be accompanied by a Submittal Coversheet. Additionally, a
Submittal Matrix has been developed to provide
guidance regarding required submission of special education materials based on
an LEA's stage of intervention.
