  • School Board Members FROM: Terry B.Grier, Ed.D
    MEMORANDUM January 23, 2015 TO: School Board Members FROM: Terry B.Grier, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: VANGUARD PROGRAM: 2013–2014 CONTACT: Carla Stevens, 713-556-6700 According to Section 29.123 of the Texas Education Code, the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students (G/T) forms the basis of program accountability for state- mandated services for G/T students. In the Houston Independent School District, G/T students were served through one of two program designs: Board-approved Vanguard/Magnet or Vanguard Neighborhood. Attached is the evaluation report summarizing the effectiveness of the Vanguard Program during the 2013–2014 school year. The state plan outlines three different performance measures that may be viewed as a continuum: In Compliance, Recommended, and Exemplary. There are five components that are addressed in the plan: Student Assessment, Program Design, Curriculum and Instruction, Professional Development, and Family-Community Involvement. In 2007–2008, HISD implemented fourteen Vanguard Standards that were aligned to the five components of the Texas State Plan. The evaluation report centered on measuring the effectiveness of the Vanguard Program based on the state’s five components and comparing year eight of implementation of the Vanguard Standards with baseline data from 2006–2007. The Vanguard program supports the district’s strategic direction by supporting initiatives 1 and 3 by having an effective teacher in every classroom and rigorous instructional standards and supports. In 2013–2014, a total of 32,906 students attending 259 elementary, middle, and high schools participated in the district's Vanguard Program, reflecting 16.9 percent of the district K–12 population, representing a slight decrease from 17.0 percent in 2012–2013.
