These assessments are required by federal law under the No Child Left Behind Act. These assessments are a measure of student performance, teacher performance and school performance.  \nAssessments like the STAAR can show the strength and weakness for a student, possible areas for remedial instruction, areas where teachers need to focus more instruction and school’s progress in moving all children reach proficiency in their core subjects. An objective of the No Child Left Behind Act is for all schools to have 100% of students performing proficiently by 2014.  \nStudents in Texas in public schools or who are publicly funded in private schools are required to take the STAAR starting in 3rd grade. The STAAR is administered in Mathematics and Reading yearly in grades 3-8; Writing is tested for students in grades 4 and 7 and Science is tested for students in grades 5 and 8. Lastly, students will take the STAAR in Social Studies in grade 8.  \nIn high school, students will take STAAR End of Course (EOC) assessments for Algebra I, geometry, Algebra II, biology, chemistry, physics, English I, English II, English III, world geography, world history and US history. These tests will help students show that they are achieving to post-secondary readiness standards.  \nThe STAAR assessments are more rigorous than the previous TAKS assessments. The STAAR End of Course (EOC) assessments given in high school are now a graduation requirement starting with students entering 9th grade in 2011-2012.  \nThe STAAR assessments are aligned to the state curriculum, referred to as the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), which provides a framework for learning objectives across the subject areas. By holding students accountable to these standards, academic proficiency in all subjects is achievable.  \nFormat of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR)  \nFor students taking the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) tests in Reading and Mathematics in grades 3-8, they will be taking a multiple-choice and short answer, open-ended (griddable) style examination. Students will not be taking this test online during these grade levels. These tests allow students four hours to complete them, and where student require testing accommodations per an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) those will be provided.  \nFor students in grades 4 and 7 who take the STAAR Assessment in Writing, they will be required to draft an essay response. Students taking the Science Assessment in grades 5 and 8 have a multiple-choice, open-ended and griddable item format test.  \nThe STAAR End of Course Examinations (EOCs) are offered both online and in a paper-and-pencil format. Individual schools and districts will be making decisions about online or paper-based test administrations. A major difference between the STAAR End of Course (EOCs) Exams and the TAKSexam is that the STAAR tests only what has been taught during the course for which it is designed rather than the TAKS which covered a wider array of material.  \nSTAAR End of Course (EOC) assessments are given in Algebra I, geometry, Algebra II, biology, chemistry, physics, English I, English II, English III, world geography, world history and US history. The tests are multiple-choice, open ended, and essay format for the Writing Assessment.  \nStudents receive scores on a scale and on a proficiency level. Each test will have its own scale based on the number of questions; the scaled score will show how well the student did on all the questions and will pinpoint areas of instructional need. The scale scores translate to proficiency levels, of which there are three: Level I: Unsatisfactory Academic Performance, Level II: Satisfactory Academic ","cbCaijPz9y3yS0Td","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijPz9y3yS0Td","pdf",622603,"English","# Understanding the STAAR\n## Program purpose and requirements\n## Subjects and grade-level testing\n## STAAR vs. TAKS and graduation requirement\n## Alignment to TEKS\n# Format of the STAAR Assessments\n## Grades 3-8 Reading and Mathematics formats\n## Writing and Science item types\n## End-of-Course (EOC) online vs. paper\n## Question coverage difference from TAKS\n## Scores, scales, and proficiency levels\n# Taking the STAAR\n## Reading, Writing, Social Studies expectations\n## Mathematics and Science expectations\n## How results guide focus and preparedness\n# Get Your Child Ready for STAAR State Testing","[{\"question\":\"What is the STAAR program and when did it replace TAKS?\",\"answer\":\"STAAR is the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness testing program.
