Guiding questions to use with CCMR Insights

The guiding questions below are designed to assist campus and district staff who are using CCMR Insights to identify students who are either not TSI-met or who do not have an A-F point (or both). For each question, view the “tips” column to help you identify students who meet those criteria. Then, use the “notes/strategies” column to spark discussions about a variety of opportunities you might provide for students to help them prepare for success on the postsecondary pathway(s) of their choice.

Depending on the size of your campus or district, you might sort students in CCMR Insights. Alternatively, to facilitate analysis with large groups of students, you might export the list of students to an Excel-compatible CSV (comma-separated values) format by clicking the “Export as CSV” button in the lower right corner of the student view page.
After identifying students in each group, you might use the student success planning tool described on the Tools page to create personalized action plans for each student or follow existing procedures you have developed in your district.

Questions to consider	Tips for using the tool	Notes/strategies
1. How many students have earned at least one A-F point?	On the student view page in CCMR Insights, use the column header filters to identify students who are “met” in the A-F points column.	Great work! Continue to prepare these students for success on the postsecondary pathway(s) of their choice by enrolling them in advanced academics courses or courses that will lead to industry-based certifications or Level I/Level II certificates. Remember that to qualify for CCMR Outcomes Bonus funds, students must be TSI-met AND enter a college- or career-ready pathway (see TEA graphic).
2. How many students are TSI-met? 3 . How many students have met TSI criteria for either math or reading/ELA?	On the student view page in CCMR Insights, use the column header filters to identify students: (1) who are “met” in the TSI met column; OR (2) who are “met” in either the math OR reading/ELA columns for ACT, SAT, TSI-A, OR college prep courses.	Learn more about the different ways students can meet Texas Success Initiative (TSI) criteria and strategies your district can implement to improve TSI-met outcomes.
4. For students who have not met TSI criteria for either math or reading/ELA, how many students are close to meeting TSI standards?	On the student view page in CCMR Insights, use the column header filters to identify students: (1) who are “not met” in the TSI met column; AND (2) who are classified as “nearly met” on either the math OR reading/ELA columns for ACT, SAT, OR TSI-A.	TSIA2: Students might explore TSIA2 Learning Resources for math and ELAR. SAT: Students might take a practice test and receive personalized practice recommendations through Khan Academy. ACT: Students might explore ACT Learning Resources, including practice tests, study guides, and video lessons. District resources: Connect students with additional district supports such as: test prep courses, test-taking practice, or tutoring to help students strengthen skills in a particular area.
5. For students who do not have an A-F point, are not TSI-met, and are not close to meeting the TSI criteria, what other options are available in your district to prepare them for postsecondary opportunities?	On the student view page in CCMR Insights, use the column header filters to identify students: (1) who have “no points” in the A-F points column; (2) who are “not met” in the TSI met column; AND (3) who “didn’t meet” (or have no data) in any of the math OR reading/ELA columns for ACT, SAT, OR TSI-A.	Enroll students in OnRamps courses, which do not require students to be TSI-met. Offer Texas College Bridge, which provides Texas students with access to online college preparatory courses. Enroll students in courses that will lead to industry-based certifications or Level I/Level II certificates (view list of 244 industry-based certifications). Confirm that all students who receive special education services are on track to earn at least one A-F point. Consider other options that are available in your district.
