STAAR Corner: An update about the redesign of the state’s summative test. School campuses across Texas are preparing for the upcoming changes to the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) that will better align the test to high-quality classroom instruction. Beginning with the spring 2023 STAAR administration, new non-multiple-choice question types that teachers already use during effective instruction will be incorporated into the test. The new question types were developed with input from Texas teachers, students, and a wide range of educational stakeholders and assessment experts. TEA field-tested these new question types during 2022 to verify their ability to accurately and reliably measure students’ understanding of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS).
Learn more about the STAAR redesign. Visit: https://tea.texas.gov/student-assessment/assessment-initiatives/hb-3906/staar-redesign
