Recognize the key components of the state assessment system
Understand some of the recent changes to the state assessment system
Appreciate the depth and complexity of the state assessment system
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

If the graph of f is translated 5 units to the right and 4 units down to create a new graph, which function best represents this new graph?
A g(x) = –(x + 3)2 – 1 B g(x) = –(x – 3)2 – 1 C g(x) = (3 – x)2 + 1 D g(x) = (3 – x)2 – 1
The graph of the quadratic function f is shown on the grid at right.

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
Grades, credits and graduation plans may be affected by EOC scores, pending legislative changes
