STAAR New Question Types
Online Testing Updates 8.30.2022
Redesign of STAAR-BEGINNING 2022-23
- the addition of new non-multiple-choice questions that give students more ways to show their understanding and better reflect questions teachers ask in the classroom;
- the addition of a writing component to reading assessments for grades 3–8 to better support the interconnected way these subjects are taught; and
- the incorporation of more cross-curricular passages into the new reading language arts (RLA) assessments so that test questions can reference topics students have learned about in other classes.
TEA is removing the maximum time allowed for STAAR assessments
Students are expected to complete STAAR tests in about three hours.
TELPAS
TELPAS reading and writing domains will be combined in an online test for students in grades 2–12 this year. Because of this new standardized version of a writing assessment, districts will no longer need to holistically rate writing samples for students in grades 2–12.
