The STAAR test is being redesigned to make the test more tightly aligned to the classroom experience. As teachers transition to STAAR 2.0, it will be important to give students opportunities to practice on the new digital platform with each of the new items.
Participants in this workshop will have a brief overview of each of the new item types and how they will apply in the math classroom. Then, participants will take a deep dive into TFAR (Texas Formative Assessment Resource) to experience how to create new items, build formative assessments and share content with others.
As a result of our learning during this professional development, participants will be able to create new item types to create to an item bank that will be shared among participants following the workshop.
*Participants will want to bring their device for learning on digital platforms and creating new digital item types.
