  2. STAAR – What is it? • State’s student testing program for Mathematics, Reading, Writing, and Science • Emphasizes “readiness” standards, which are the knowledge and skills that are considered most important for success in the grade or course subject that follows and for college and career.

  3. STAAR – Who takes what? 3rd Grade • Mathematics • Reading 4th Grade • Mathematics • Reading • Writing 5th Grade • Mathematics • Reading • Science 6th Grade* • Mathematics • Reading

  4. STAAR - Expectations • Met passing standard as set by TEA; every subject tested; every student tested • Under the Student Success Initiative (SSI); as created by the Texas Legislature; grade advancement requirements, students are required to pass the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) grade 5 reading and mathematics tests to be promoted to sixth grade.

  5. STAAR - Expectations • SSI - • Fifth grade students have three opportunities to pass the STAAR reading and mathematics tests. • If a student does not pass one or both tests, the school must give the student additional instruction after each testing opportunity, and the student must participate in that instruction. • If a student has not passed after the second testing opportunity, a grade placement committee (GPC) is formed to created instructional plans based on the individual needs of the student.

  6. STAAR - Expectations • SSI – • A student who is unsuccessful on the STAAR reading and /or mathematics test after the third testing opportunity will be retained automatically. • However, the student’s parents may appeal the decision to have their child repeat the grade level by submitting a request to the GPC within five working days of receiving the retention notice. • The GPC (principal, teacher and parent), may decide to promote the student to sixth grade.

  7. STAAR - Expectations • SSI – • Students that are promoted must participate in additional instruction in order to be promoted. • Parents may request a waiver of the third testing opportunity. • If the waiver is approved, the student is automatically retained, but the parent may still appeal the retention.

  8. STAAR - Scoring • For the general STAAR assessments, STAAR Spanish, and STAAR L, the lables for the performance categories are: • Level III: Advanced Academic Performance • Level II: Satisfactory Academic Performance • Level I: Unsatisfactory
