Tuesday, April 26, 2011 STAAR: The Latest On Texas' New Assessment Tool From The Texas Education Agency As previously reported in several posts on this blog (see keyword at left:"STAAR"), Texas will have a new accountability assessment system beginning in the spring of 2012. This assessment system will replace TAKS. Below is the first page of a five-page letter to administrators from the TEA regarding the latest in this development process. Much of what is on the first page is background and resources that I have blogged about before. However, beginning about two-thirds down page one (subtitled "Test Administration Policies") the TEA has provided quite a few specifics previously unreleased to the public. This is valuable, timely information that all educators in Texas should begin to get familiar with. Posted at 6:44 PM Keywords: STAAR , Texas , Accountability , Assessments 2 Comments |
