What is the Texas Projection Measure (TPM)?
The TPM was developed for accountability purposes to measure annual student improvement. TPM is a multi-level regression-based model that predicts student performance by subject in the next high-stakes grade (5, 8, and 11). A student projected to be at or above proficiency in the next high stakes grade is determined to have met the improvement standard. Beginning in 2009, TAKS grades 3-10 tests meeting the student passing standard or projected to meet the student passing standard based on TPM are included in the numerator of the TAKS Progress indicator. Detailed TPM information can be found in Appendix E – Student Growth Measures.
