TAKS Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills Grades 10, 11, exit-level retest

STAAR State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness Grades 3-9

TELPAS Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment

System English Language Learners (ELLs), Grades K-12

English language proficiency is assessed

Students assessed in four domains Listening, Speaking, Writing, Reading

Students receive ratings in each domain Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced, Advanced High

Students rated holistically with rubrics (L, S, W) and with an online assessment (R)

Teachers receive six hours of initial online training, test to be certified as raters, and recalibrate each year

In pairs, read over the sample math test items and determine the grade level most appropriate for each.

You are not required to answer the questions.

Which state exports the least amount of crude oil monthly? A Louisiana B Texas C Alaska D Pennsylvania

A cumulative score is 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 for graduation.

New requirements (HB 3, 81st Texas Legislature)

EOC performance must account for 15% of the final grade

Issues for local decision-making Defining final grade Accounting for course credit, GPA and retest scores Converting test scores to grades on a 100-point scale

District plan Credit and GPA will continue to be awarded by semester Potential negative impact on students is minimized

Commissioner Scott suspended requirement for 2012 What will 2013 bring?

STAAR means increased rigor, depth, and complexity

Several changes in test administration procedures

Grades 3-8 test in same subjects as TAKS

High school EOCs replace grade-level tests

EOC testing for graduation begins THIS YEAR for students in grade 9 and lower
