  1. The STAAR In OUR FUTURE: ELEMENTARY MATH AND SCIENCE

  2. Our Mini-Agenda: Increased Rigor on STAAR District Assessments Questions and Answers

  3. Our Mini-Agenda: The STAAR in Our Future: Math and Science Increased Rigor on STAAR District Assessments Questions and Answers

  4. STAAR – Replacing TAKS next year: Will we be ready? \ • More rigorous than TAKS • More emphasis on Processes: • Underlying Processes and Mathematical Tools (Formerly Math Objective 6) • Scientific Investigation and Reasoning (Formerly Science Objective 1) • More emphasis on “Advanced Academic Performance”

  5. NEW: STAAR defines two designations for TEKS/SEs that are eligible for testing: \ • READINESS standards • SUPPORTING standards • A few standards are neither – because they are not eligible for testing

  6. Eligible Content Standards From TEKS • Supporting Readiness FEWER STAAR Assessment Blueprint Supporting Readiness DEEPER

  7. Think-Pair-Share • To me, supporting means _____________. • To me, readiness means _____________.

  8. Think-Pair-Share • To me, supporting means _____________. • While introduced, may be emphasized in a following year • While reinforced, may be emphasized in a previous year • Prepare students • Narrowly defined ideas • To me, readiness means _____________. • Essential for success in current year • Prepares for next year • Supports college and career readiness • Needed for in-depth instruction • Broad and deep ideas (TEA, 2010)

  9. Curriculum Activity • Exploring Readiness Standards: Grade 5 • What TEKS/SEs within Grades 3, 4, and 5 support the assigned readiness standard?

  10. Gallery Walk

  11. Curriculum Reflection: Rotating Trios How will the notion of readiness/supporting standards impact what is happening in the classroom? • How do we ensure that supporting standards and non-tested standards receive appropriate emphasis in the classroom?

  12. Supporting TEKS Readiness TEKS Arrays Basic Facts 12 x 12 Factors Products 4.4D Use Multiplication To Solve Problems Pictures, Numbers, Words Area Models

  13. Understanding Verbal expressions Readiness TEKS Algebraic Expressions Creating Scatterplots 8.4 Multiple Representations Scatterplot Trends Interpreting Graphs Constructing Line Graphs

  14. Grade 8 Readiness Standard (8.4) 8.4 Readiness Standard

  15. 6 6 6 6 5 7 7 3 7 7 5 3 5 8 8 7 8 7 3 4 5 6 6 3 4 8.4 Readiness Standard 7

  16. STAAR GLIMMERS 3rd GRADE MATH STAAR Third graders will now bubble their answers on the separate answer document.

  17. STAAR GLIMMERS GRIDDABLE ITEMS • 3 Griddable items on Math STAAR, Grades 3, 4, and 5 • Still 1 Griddable for Science STAAR, Grade 5 • No change to format of Grids

  18. HIGHER RIGOR ON STAAR • Assessing content and skills at a greater depth and higher level of cognitive complexity • Dual-coding - reflects this increased rigor

  19. RIGOR: Greater Depth, Higher Level of Cognitive Complexity

  20. NEW: DUAL CODING OF TEST ITEMS

  21. Where’s the rigor? Compare the student thinking . . . • How are the two items similar and different? • What are the implications for classroom instruction?

  22. Comparing Student Thinking Science Examples: TEKS: 5.9D Identify the significance of the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle tothe survival of plants and animals 5.2G Construct appropriate simple graphs,tables, maps, and charts…to organize,examine, and evaluate information. 2003TAKS #19 2006 TAKS #24

  23. Comparing Student Thinking Mathematics Examples: TEKS: 5.6A Select from and use . . . equations such as y = 5 + 3 to represent meaningful problems. 5.15B Relate informal language to mathematical language andsymbols. 2009 TAKS #24 2006 TAKS #24

  24. WHERE DO WE FIND RESOURCES FOR PLANNING LESSONS WITH DEPTH AND COGNITIVE COMPLEXITY? IN THE ARRC! • Required Lessons • Recommended Lessons and Learning Experiences • Instructional Resources

  25. RRISD DISTRICT ASSESSMENTS Replacing “Released TAKS” District-Created “STAAR-Ready” Assessments Grade 5: Math - Feb. 13 – 17 Science – Feb. 21 – 27 Grades 3 & 4 Math - Feb. 27 – Mar. 2

  26. Questions and Answers
