What is the Texas STAAR EL Performance Measure?

The Texas STAAR® EL Performance Measure shows whether or not an eligible EL is making sufficient progress on each STAAR content-area assessment based on predetermined performance measure progress expectations. The subject-specific STAAR performance measure progress expectations take into account the level of English language proficiency ELs possess, as well as the time needed to acquire English language proficiency to fully demonstrate grade-level academic skills in English. The EL Performance Measure provides a more meaningful gauge of annual improvement needed for ELs towards achieving the next higher STAAR performance than the performance they have achieved (i.e., Approaches, Meets, and Masters Grade Level performance).
