SPRING HILL ISD STAAR End-of-Course Parent Meeting MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 2013 Presented by Dennis Lind
SENATE BILL 1031 • Requires end-of-course (EOC) assessment instruments in Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English I, English II, English III, World Geography, World History and United States History. • The purpose of the EOC exams are to measure student’s academic performance in core high school courses. • The EOC exams are also part of graduation requirements beginning with the freshman class of 2011–2012.
NEW ASSESSMENT DESIGN • “Fewer, Deeper, clearer” focus • Linked to college and career readiness • Will emphasize “readiness” standards, defined as those TEKS considered critical for success in the current grade/subject • Will include other TEKS that are considered supporting standards that will be assessed
Challenges associated with STAAR Testing… • More items per assessment • More assessment days per calendar year • Significantly more rigorous, greater depth and complexity • Focus on preparation for high school and college and career readiness • 4 hour time limit for testing
RAW SCORE CONVERSION TABLES • Raw Score-how many questions answered correctly • Scale Score Conversion Table-how the raw score will be “converted” or changed into a scale score
