STAAR Changes/Updates
New *** Dictionary Policy***
Dictionaries must be available to all students taking: STAAR grades 3–8 reading tests STAAR grades 4 and 7 writing tests, including revising and editing STAAR Spanish grades 3–5 reading tests STAAR Spanish grade 4 writing test, including revising and editing STAAR English I, English II, and English III tests
The following types of dictionaries are allowable: standard monolingual dictionaries in English or the language most appropriate for the student dictionary/thesaurus combinations bilingual dictionaries* (word-to-word translations; no definitions or examples) ESL dictionaries* (definition of an English word using simplified English) sign language dictionaries picture dictionary.
Removal of Test Booklet Seals
Beginning in spring 2018, test booklets for the Texas Assessment Program will no longer include seals. For test booklets that contain more than one subject (e.g., mathematics and reading), there will be additional indicators (e.g., large stop signs) in the test booklets so that the students do not continue into the next subject-area test.
Change in Test Policy for Contaminated Materials
TEA is changing its policy on the collection of test booklets and answer documents that have human contaminants (e.g., vomit, blood, etc.). We will no longer require district staff to return the test booklets and/or answer documents to the contractor. Instead, the district will be required to securely dispose of the contaminated materials. This updated policy will be included in test administration materials for spring 2018.
COMING SOON - Online STAAR Assessment for Math & Reading Grades 3-8. It will allow us to upload students and will be graded online and generate data from the testing results.
