If the graph of f is translated 5 units to the right and 4 units down to create a new graph, which function best represents this new graph? A g(x) = –(x + 3)2 – 1 B g(x) = –(x – 3)2 – 1 C g(x) = (3 – x)2 + 1 D g(x) = (3 – x)2 – 1 STAAR Algebra II (2012)

  14. Texas State Testing TABS TAAS TAKS TEAMS

  15. What is STAAR? • State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness • Replacing the TAKS program • Subjects/grades tested • Grades 3-8 – same subjects as TAKS • Reading and math – Grades 3 through 8 • Writing – Grades 4 and 7 • Science – Grades 5 and 8 • Social studies – Grade 8

  16. What is STAAR? • Subjects/grades tested • High school – New end-of-course exams (EOCs) will replace grade-level tests • Courses tested • English Language Arts – English I, English II, English III • Math – Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II • Science – Biology, Chemistry, Physics • Social Studies – World Geography, World History, U.S. History

  17. Changes with STAAR • Greater rigor, depth, complexity than TAKS • Focus on readiness for success in subsequent grade levels/courses and for college and career • More test questions at most grade levels • Four-hour time limit • Two days for writing/ELA tests • High school EOC performance tied to grades, credits and diploma type

  18. STAAR Performance Standards TAKS Passing standard Commended Did not meet standard Met standard Commended Performance STAAR Satisfactory Performance “Passing” Readiness Level I: Unsatisfactory Level II: Satisfactory Level III: Advanced

  19. STAAR Performance Standards • STAAR passing standards for grades 3-8 will not be set until Fall 2012 • Parents will receive raw score results (number of items correct) in May 2012 • Final results will be sent out in January 2013 • SSI requirements for grades 5 and 8 are suspended in 2012 • No retesting opportunities in May and June • Passing reading and math STAAR not required for promotion

  20. STAAR and Telescoping • Students receiving instruction in a course above their enrolled grade will take the appropriate test for the course • Example • A third-grade student enrolled in a grade 4 math course will take STAAR grade 4 math and grade 3 reading tests

  21. STAAR and Telescoping • Proposed policy: Students in middle school taking high school courses with EOCs will take both the EOC and the grade-level test in that subject • Example • An eighth-grade student enrolled in Algebra I will take the Algebra I EOC and STAAR grade 8 math test

  22. Four-hour time limit • Starts with “You may begin” and ends with “Pencils down” with no extra transcription time • Warnings at regular intervals • Bathroom and stretch breaks are included in the four hours • Lunch and breaks due to emergencies or medical conditions are not included • Some students may meet criteria for extended time (e.g. dyslexia accommodations), but may not test past the end of the school day

  23. Available forms • STAAR • General education and students needing some allowable accommodations • STAAR-Modified, STAAR-Alternate • Special education students • STAAR-L • ELL students needing linguistic accommodations

  24. TAKS to STAAR Transition • Students first enrolled in grade 9 in 2010-11 or earlier must meet TAKS requirements for graduation • Students first enrolled in grade 9 in 2011-12 or later must meet STAAR requirements for graduation

  25. EOC Performance Standards Minimum Performance Satisfactory Performance “Passing” Readiness Unsatisfactory Gray area Satisfactory Advanced • STAAR EOCs will have an additional minimum performance standard • EOC performance standards will be set in February 2012

  26. STAAR End-of-Course • Test scores on all EOCs will count toward graduation. • A cumulative score will be determined for each subject area. • A student’s scores in each subject area (ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies) must equal or exceed a minimum cumulative score in order to be eligible to graduate.

  27. EOC Performance Standards Minimum Performance Satisfactory Performance “Passing” Readiness Unsatisfactory Gray area Satisfactory Advanced 600 700 1200 Student must retest Score can not be used for cumulative total Student may retest Score can be used for cumulative total Student may choose to retest

  28. Cumulative Scores Minimum cumulative score = 700 x 3 = 2100 Cumulative Score 2400

  29. Cumulative Scores Minimum cumulative score = 700 x 3 = 2100 Cumulative Score 2400 2100

  30. Cumulative Scores Minimum cumulative score = 700 x 3 = 2100 Cumulative Score 2400 2100 1950 Retest = 700 New total = 2150

  31. EOC and course grades • New law • Performance on the EOC will account for 15% of the final grade • Students cannot get credit if final grade is less than 70 • District plan • Determine semester average as per existing guidelines Semester average = 2/7 (SW1) + 2/7 (SW2) + 2/7 (SW3) + 1/7 (Exam) • GPA will be based on semester average • A final semester grade will be calculated based on the semester average and the EOC exam Final semester grade = 85% (semester average) + 15% (EOC) • Course credit will be based on the final semester grade

  32. EOC and course grades Converting an EOC score into a grade Level I: Unsatisfactory Level II: Satisfactory Level III: Advanced 69 90 100 This conversion scheme will allow any student with a passing average to retain credit (won’t lose credit due to EOC score) and may allow other students to recover credit if they have a failing average of at least 65.

  33. EOC grade requirements • Due to the May testing window for EOCs, test results will not be available until June • Final grades will likely be delayed for courses tested with EOCs

  34. STAAR Recap • STAAR means increased rigor, depth, and complexity • Grades 3-8 test in same subjects as TAKS • Several changes to test administration procedures • High school grade-level tests replaced by EOCs • EOC testing for graduation begins THIS YEAR for students in grade 9 and lower • Grades, credits and graduation plans will be affected by EOC scores
