The CBA is a Curriculum-based assessment designed to provide data to the teaching and learning staff to evaluate the effectiveness of the District curriculum. It also provides teachers with valuable feedback on how well the classroom instruction aligns to the standards (TEKS–Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills). The CBAs are administered three times per year within English-language arts, reading, math, science, and social studies in grades 2–11.

Approximately 12 deaf & hard of hearing elementary students from Porter Elementary participated in a dance recital after eight weeks of instruction from two of our deaf education teachers who are dancers. The equipment was provided through a BISD Education Foundation Grant, and the costumes were provided through monies from Porter Elementary and Greg Bicknell, principal. The dance instruction was specifically designed to allow/engage our students who do not have the ability to effectively communicate, or who do not have access to sign language interpreters and communication in extracurricular activities outside their regular school day. This was a huge self-confidence boost to the students. It also gave parents of our students from across districts, an opportunity to get to know each other as they wait for their children to finish their instruction. The recital is a culmination of their eight weeks of hard work. The teachers are lending their time for free.
