Apps Education Edition

Google Apps Education Edition is a broad IT solution that schools can use to
bring communication and collaboration tools to the entire academic
community for free. Google manages all the technology details, so you can
focus your time, energy and budgets on teaching your kids.

Students, teachers and staff can share ideas more quickly and get things done
more effectively when they have access to the same powerful communication
and sharing tools. Google Apps Education Edition lets tech administrators
provide email, sharable online calendars, instant messaging tools and even a
dedicated website to faculty, students and staff for free. There's no hardware or
software to install or maintain, since everything is delivered through a standard
web browser -- anytime, from anyplace.

You can mix and match from the following services for your entire school :

Gmail - Offer email to your faculty, students and staff with 2 gigabytes of storage
per account, search tools to help them find information fast, and instant
messaging built right into the browser (chat can easily be disabled for the whole
school if you don't want students to be able to IM with their accounts).

Google Talk - Teachers and students can call or send instant messages to their
contacts for free -- anytime, anywhere in the world. Imagine the possibilities for
people collaborating on projects from different locations.

Google Calendar - Everyone can organize their schedules and share events,
meetings and entire calendars with others. You can even publish the school
calendar on your website to let families know about events like back-to-school
nights, homecoming and vacation days.

Google Docs - Students and teachers can create documents, spreadsheets and
presentations and then collaborate with each other in real-time right inside a
web browser window.

Google Sites - Create a class site and edit it the same way you'd edit a
document -- no technical expertise required. Your site can bring together all the
information you want to share with your colleagues and students, including
docs, calendars, photos, videos and attachments.

1. The FAST website became active on Wednesday December 8. In the last legislative session
the 81st Legislature passed House Bill 3, which required the state comptroller to perform a
public education study. The information included in this study and on this website ranks
school districts and campuses using academic and financial rating indicators. I will provide a
brief outline of the FAST system in my staff report. Attached is a PowerPoint released
earlier this fall that provides a concise overview of the FAST system.

107
Financial Allocation Study for Texas (FAST)

• To improve academic achievement and encourage more effective


use of public education dollars, the 81st Texas Legislature
passed House Bill 3, which required Comptroller Susan Combs
to perform a public education study.
108

• Through cutting-edge research, “FAST” will integrate academic


performance measures with financial data to identify school
districts and campuses that combine high academic achievement
and cost-effective operations.

• The study will be completed in late 2010, before the 82nd


Legislature convenes.

108 2
HB 3, Section 39.0821
a) The comptroller shall identify school districts and campuses
that use resource allocation practices that contribute to high
academic achievement and cost-effective operations. In
identifying districts and campuses under this section, the
comptroller shall:
109

1) evaluate existing academic accountability and financial


data by integrating the data;
2) rank the results of the evaluation under Subdivision (1)
to identify the relative performance of districts and
campuses; and
3) identify potential areas for district and campus

HB 3, Section 39.0821
b) In reviewing resource allocation practices of districts and
campuses under this section, the comptroller shall ensure
resources are being used for the instruction of students by
evaluating:
110

1) the operating cost for each student;

2) the operating cost for each program; and

3) the staffing cost for each student.

Guiding Principles
School districts and campuses should be compared in a
manner that is fair.

• FAST measures should take into account the


differences between the state’s many school districts
111

and campuses.

• A school district or campus should not be ranked


based on a single measure.

• Districts and campuses should be compared across a


range of measures using “multiple lenses.”

111 5
Project Overview

• The FAST methodology was developed in consultation


with the state’s leading experts on measures of
academic and financial performance.

• Leading national experts vetted the methodology.


112

• The FAST methodology will be transparent, published


in print and online.

• Access to all FAST data, results and methodologies


will be available free of charge. No school district will
have to pay for the information produced as part of this
project.
112
6
Data

• The FAST project uses existing data to analyze


campus and district performance. The FAST project
required no new data from schools or districts.
113

• To build the best measures of resource allocation,


FAST relies in part on data from the UT-Dallas
Education Research Center (ERC), which provides
access to student-level data not publicly available from
TEA.

Methodology

• The methodology puts campuses and districts on a


“level playing field” for comparing academic
performance to spending.

• New academic measures take into account the


121

different characteristics of student populations.

• An innovative grouping methodology called


“propensity-score matching” allows us to assess
school spending by comparing campus and district
spending to a set of “fiscal peers” – campuses or
districts that operate in similar cost environments.

121 15
Academic Measures

• FAST will report standard academic measures, such


as TAKS passing and commended rates, graduation
rates, etc.
122

• FAST will also include measures of student progress in


math and reading, along with a composite measure
that combines math and reading progress.

• The methodology used to develop these measures is a


version of what is often referred to as a “value-added”
methodology.

122 16
Academic Measures

• The academic progress measures are based on


annual student progress averaged over three years.

• These academic progress measures control for


123

various demographic factors that can influence student


performance, such as economic disadvantage, limited
English proficiency, etc.

• Controlling for these factors ensures that districts and


campuses are evaluated based on what they
contribute to academic growth.

123 17
Spending Measures

• Education costs depend on a variety of factors outside of


school district control; it would not be fair or appropriate to
compare all of the school districts in Texas to one another.

• Instead, FAST evaluates each district and campus


124

against those identified as “fiscal peers,” districts and


campuses that operate in a similar cost environment, are
of similar size and serve similar students.

• An innovative grouping methodology called “propensity-


score matching” was used to identify up to 40 fiscal peers
for each campus and district in Texas.

124 18
Spending Measures

• For example, a district’s fiscal peers would be other


districts that are most similar with respect to the
common determinants of school district cost — labor
costs, school district size and student demographics.
125

• Once a district’s or campus’s fiscal peers are


determined, it is given a spending index score.

• The spending index is a measure of a district’s or


campus’s spending relative to its set of fiscal peers.

125 19
Spending Measures

As with measures of academic performance, the FAST


report will include multiple measures of financial
performance, including but not limited to:
• spending index, created via propensity score
126

matching;
• operating expenditures adjusted for differences in
labor costs;
• operating and staffing costs per student; and
• operating costs by program.

126 20
Resource Allocation

• Academic progress measures are compared to


spending index to identify districts that appear to
achieve most academic progress while spending less
than fiscal peers.
127

• Comptroller staff are contacting these districts to


identify practices other districts might replicate.

• The FAST report will include summaries of these


practices.

127
21
Products

• In addition to the report required by HB 3, the


Comptroller’s FAST project will include a website that
will allow users to choose which districts or campuses
they would like to compare.
128

• The website will allow users to group campuses and


districts in a variety of ways.

• The website will allow users to compare campuses


and districts across a variety of performance
indicators.

128 22
Timeline

• Comptroller staff and consultants are reviewing data


and methodology to ensure accuracy.

• Before results and report can be publicly released, the


129

Education Research Center at UT-Dallas must review


them for compliance with federal privacy laws
(FERPA).

• The FAST report will be released and the FAST


website will go live later this year, before the 82nd
Legislature convenes.
