Consideration And Approval Of New Goal Progress Measure Targets
body
The Houston Independent School District (HISD) School Board is asked to consider and approve revisions to goal progress measure targets. Changes approved by the board in March 2025 were based on end-of-year (EOY) 2023-2024 measures of academic progress (MAP) data. The current proposed revisions affect proficiency progress measures 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 4.3. Goal progress measures 4.1 and 4.2 remain unchanged from the March 2025 approved proposal, as they are based on Met Expected Growth metrics, and the updated linking study did not impact their baseline data.
These updates align with the latest NWEA MAP linking study, which reflects revised projections between MAP growth data and State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) proficiency. In July 2024, NWEA updated its platform with new research data, making it necessary to re-establish baselines to ensure accurate year-over-year comparisons and prevent misinterpretation of progress.
Upon approval, the revised progress measure targets will be published on the Lone Star Governance (LSG) section of the HISD public website.
