The Texas Educational Assessment of Minimum Skills (TEAMS), a criterion-referenced test, was mandated by the Texas legislature in 1984 to be instituted beginning with the school year 1985-86. This is the first report of TEAMS, which replaces the formerly used Texas Assessment of Basic Skills (TABS), by the Austin Independent School District (AISD). Tests were administered to students in grades 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. First grade students who were limited-English-proficient (LEP) were exempted. A Spanish version of TEAMS for grades 1 and 3 is expected for 1986-87 testing. Special education students with certain handicaps were also exempted from testing. In a question and answer format, the report discusses AISD student performance; that performance compared to other years and other tests; performance by ethnicity; performance on the grade 11 exit-level TEAMS; special measures to prepare students for the test; and remediation for those who did not pass the exit-level TEAMS. Mastery on the exit-level TEAMS is required for receiving a high school diploma. Attachments to the report are: (1) a sample of the number of items tested and the number required to demonstrate mastery; (2) AISD district summary reports; (3) data on the percentage of students demonstrating mastery, and ranking by school; (4) comparison of AISD students with Texas and the "Big 8" Texas urban districts.
