STAAR Redesign Support
We have a STAAR Redesign training on Thursday, November 3rd. In the morning, Ashley will share the TEA updates on STAAR Redesign. In the afternoon, the Content Specialists will be there to help create new STAAR Redesign questions with your teachers. Click here to join this awesome training.
Make sure you check out the updated blueprints for each test.
TEA sent out a very helpful Letter to the Administrator Addressed on September 1st highlighting some specific changes as well.
Texas Formative Assessment Resource (TFAR) Training
Strong Foundations Framework Development Grant
The second option supports districts who want to delay the start of this work until summer of 2023 into SY 2023–2024 to support changes they want to make in SY 2024–2025. A Winter Application will open in late 2022 for LEAs who prefer this timing option.
