8th Grade U.S. Histo.STAAR
STAAR
‘The State of Texas of Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAR) is based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Sklls (TEKS). Most of the state standards, if
they are eligible for assessment in 2 multiple choice/short answer format, will be assessed on STAAR
STAAR is designed as a vertical system. Just as the TEKS are structured in a vertically aligned manner, so is STAR, Learning from one grade level is aligned
‘with learning at the next grade level, Some skills are developed aver the course of a student's educational career from kinderga-ten through high school,
while other skills and learning may begin at a particular grade level and serve as the foundation for later learning. STAAR is an assessment of academic
readiness. In other words, we can sum up the variation between the current assessment program (TAKS) and STAAR by reframing the questions we are
asking,
TAKS: TAKS was designed to help teachers answer this question:
* Did students learn what they were supposed to learn inthe current year’s grade?
STAAR: STAR is designed to ensure that teachers answer these questions:
* Did students learn what they were supposed to learn in the current year’s grade?
+ Are students ready for the next grade?
+ And are they also ready for the grade after that?
So what's the big deal about that shit? Fundamentally, It requires that teachers relook at curriculum and instruction ina very lfferent way than they have
Under previous assessment systems (TABS, TEAMS, TAAS, TAKS). Not only are teachers required to have a deep understanding othe content of the grade
level they are teaching, but they must also be firmly grounded in how the content of that eurrent grade level prepares students for subsequent grace
levels. Overemphasis on gad level attainment ONIY may expats a context where taachars in subeaquant grade levels havo to reteach foundational kills to
accommodate for the gap created by the lack of appropriate emphasis eariler. It may require students “unlearn’” previous ways of conceptualizing content
and essentially stat all ove.
STAAR: focus, clarity, depth
[the TEKS] are designed to prepare stuclents to succeed in college, in careers and to compete globally, However, consistent witha growing national
‘consensus regarding the naed to provide a more clearly articulated K-16 education program that focuses on fewer skills and addresses those skills in a
deoper manner (TEA),
STAAR is designed around three concepts: focus, clarity, and depth:
Focus: STAAR will focus on grade level standards that are critical for that grade level and the ones to follow.
Clarity: STAAR will assess the eligible TEKS ata level of specificity that allow students to demonstrate mastery,
Depth: STAAR will assess the eligible TEKS at a higher cognitive level and in novel contexts.
http://www leaddward.com 2 © 2011 leadawardSTAAR
STAAR: the assessed curriculum ~ readiness, supporting, and process standards
‘A key concept that underpins the design of STAAR Is that all standards (TEKS) do not play the same role in student learning. Simply stated, some standards
(TEKS) have greater priority than others ~ they are so vital tothe current grade level or content area that they must be learned to a level of mastery to ensure
readiness (success) in the nex: grade lavels. Other standards are Important in helping to support learning, to maintain a previously learned standard, or to
prepare students for a more complex standard taught at a later grade,
By assessing the TEKS that are most critical tothe content area in 2 more rigorous ways, STAAR will better measure the academic performance of students as
they progress from elementary to middle to high school. Based on educator committee recommendations, for each grade level or course, TEA has identified
4 set of readiness standards - the TEKS which help students develop ceep and enduring understanding of the concepts in each contant area. The remaining
knowledge and skills are cons dered supporting standards and will be assessed less frequently, but stil play 2 very important role in learning.
Readiness standards have the following characteristics:
«* They are essential for success in the current grade or course,
‘* They are important for preparedness for the next grade or course,
‘= They support college and career readiness.
+ They necessitate in-depth instruction,
+ They address broad and deep ideas.
Supporting standards have the following characteristics:
“= Although introduced in the current grade or course, they may be amphasized in a subsaquent yaar
+ Although reinforced in the current grade or course, they may be emphasized in a previous year.
+ They play a role in precaring students for the next grade or course but not a central role
++ They address mote nar'owly defined ideas,
STAAR assesses the eligible TEKS at the level at which the TEKS were written.
STAR is @ more rigorous assessment than TAKS (and TAAS, TEAMS, TABS before that). The level of rigor is connected with the cognitive level identified in the
TEKS themselves, Simply stated, STAAR will measure the eligible TEKS atthe level at which they are writen.
‘The rigor of items will be increased by
* assessing content and sls at a greater depth and higher level of cognitive complexity
+ assessing mere than ore student expectation ina test item
‘The rigor of the tests will be Increased by
+ assessing fewer, yet mere focused student expectations and assessing them multiple times and in more complex ways
+ including a greater number of rigorous items on the test, thereby increasing the overall test difficulty
