Commissioner’s List

Alternate Assessment(1) be based on published scientific research in

reading;(2) be age and grade-level appropriate, valid, and

reliable;(3) identify specific skill difficulties in word analysis,

fluency, and comprehension; and(4) assist the teacher in making individualized

instructional decisions based on the assessment results.

But wait…..

There are no cut scores for 6th grade STAAR as of now.

Suggested…..

Use local measures – Preliminary STAAR results– 5th grade TAKS data from 2011– Identify students that are not reading at grade

level

Remember…..

• Results from the diagnostic should then be used to inform reading instruction and intervention.

Instruction and Intervention
