PLEASE NOTE: This workshop is a repeat session of November 3, 2022, for those of you who were not able to attend on that day.
The STAAR redesign is a result of House Bill (HB) 3906 passed by the 86th Texas Legislature in 2019. The Texas Education Agency (TEA), working with a wide range of education stakeholders, including the Assessment Education Advisory Committee, has been exploring the most instructionally supportive approach to implementing these changes. The redesign will be implemented in the state summative assessments administered in the 2022–2023 school year.
The STAAR redesign training will give the latest STAAR training and updates. Also TEA released scoring rubrics mid-October, and we will go over how to use those rubrics to prepare students for correct responses on STAAR. We will look at the Cambium platform, including TFAR to prepare students for online testing.
The afternoon time will be spent with our content specialists focusing on new item types, scoring rubrics, and blueprints specific to their content.
