  2. WelcomeLBJ parents and students!

  3. Why this meeting? This meeting is to give you information on STAAR testing days, what is expected, how you can help and how your child is progressing thus far.

  4. What is the STAAR? The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR, replaced the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) program beginning in spring 2012. The STAAR program at grades 3–8 will assess the same grades and subjects as are assessed on TAKS.

  5. Changes • The most significant changes to the assessment program include: • increasing the rigor of both the assessments and the performance standards for all grades, subjects, and courses; • The rigor of items has been increased by assessing skills at a greater depth and level of cognitive complexity. In this way the tests will be better able to measure a greater range of student achievement and establish stronger links to postsecondary readiness. • 4 hour time limit

  6. (Continued)In reading assessments for STAAR, greater emphasis will be given to critical analysis rather than literal understanding Most STAAR mathematics assessments will have an increased number of open-ended items to allow students the opportunity to derive an answer independently without being influenced by the answer choices provided with the questions.

  7. What tests will 3rd graders be taking? • Reading (1 Day– 4 hours*) • Math (1 Day – 4 hours*) * Extended time provided for students receiving special education services

  8. When will students be tested?Math- April 23Reading-April 24
