STAAR Interim Assessment Tool-LAST CALL!!!!!!
I know this was not useful last year, BUT it can be an amazing instructional tool if you choose to use it. Here are some facts/info. Please read through and let me and Jeanine know if you want to use the tool with your students (all or a certain group).
- It is available now!
- There are two versions of the test. Intended to be used to see growth over the year. Give "Opportunity 1" in the Fall and "Opportunity 2" in the spring.
- It is not intended to be a "Mock" or Benchmark.
- It does predict level of performance (Approach, Meet, Master) on the STAAR test.
- It is two parts. The student completes part one, then it assigns part 2 based on how they did in part one. This is intended to not waste time and still gives accurate results and differentiates for the student.
- Results are immediate and you can see down to the actual question a student missed!
- We have to register the students (I'm having Jeanine do this now).
- This does have Content and Language supports if needed.
- It is available in Spanish.
- It is the same platform as STAAR so online testers will get familiar.
- You can assign students to lower grade level if you want.
- EVERY item on this tool has been a field tested question on an actual STAAR test.
- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR STUDENTS THAT ARE STRUGGLING OR WILL BE TAKING ONLINE TESTING IN THE SPRING.
- Not available for Writing at this time.
- Results will be uploaded into DMAC.
