STAAR CONNECTION™ Diagnostic Series™ and Developmental Series™ can be used in tandem to ensure mastery of Texas reporting categories and TEKS. The Diagnostic Series™ consists of a bank of assessments. Each assessment covers a mixture of reporting categories and TEKS. This research-based format provides continual reinforcement for and ensures retention of mastered concepts . To take full advantage of this series, administer an assessment to students. After they have completed the assessment, use it as an instructional tool. Go over each item with the class, discussing all correct and incorrect answers . Then, use the assessment as a diagnostic tool to determine a standard for which students need remediation. Find that standard in the Developmental Series™ .  \nEach book in the Developmental Series™ consists of isolated activities and assessments to allow for the development of specific TEKS. For every TEKS, there is at least one individual or group activity. The activities provide a fun, challenging, yet nonthreatening, way to develop mastery of the TEKS. In addition to these activities, each Developmental Series™ book has assessments on isolated standards to be used to identify mastery or the need for further skill development or reinforcement. Continue to alternate between the STAAR CONNECTION™ Diagnostic Series™ and the Developmental Series™ .  \nKAMICO's DATA CONNECTION® software prints student answer sheets on plain paper using a standard laser printer, scans answer sheets using a TWAIN-compliant scanner, scores assessments, and disaggregates student academic data, showing which goals and objectives are mastered and which goals and objectives are in need of reinforcement. The software ispreprogrammed to work with all KAMICO® assessments. It is easily customized to work with other instructional materials and assessments as well as teacher- , school- , district- , or state-created assessments. DATA CONNECTION® analyzes academic data from individual students, classes, grade levels, and demographic groups. Reports are presented in tabular and graphic form . Item analysis is provided to help determine the most effective method of instruction.  \nKAMICO® Instructional Media, Inc. , supports efforts to ensure adequate yearly progress and eliminate surprises in high-stakes test results .  \n© 2018 KAMICO® Instructional Media, Inc.
