Most of the state standards, if they are eligible for assessment in a multiple choice/short answer format, will be assessed on STAAR.  \nSTAAR is designed as a vertical system. Just as the TEKS are structured in a vertically aligned manner, so is STAAR. Learning from one grade level is aligned with learning at the next grade level. Some skills are developed over the course of a student’s educational career from kindergarten through high school, while other skills and learning may begin at a particular grade level and serve as the foundation for later learning. STAAR is an assessment of academic readiness.  \nSTAAR is designed to ensure that teachers answer these questions:  \n» Did students learn what they were supposed to learn in the current year’s grade?  \n» Are students ready for the next grade?  \n» And are they also ready for the grade after that?  \nSo what’s the big deal about that shift? Fundamentally, it requires that teachers relook at curriculum and instruction in a very different way than they have under previous assessment systems (TABS, TEAMS, TAAS, TAKS) . Not only are teachers required to have a deep understanding of the content of the grade level they are teaching, but they must also be firmly grounded in how the content of that current grade level prepares students for subsequent grade levels. Overemphasis on grade level attainment ONLY may create a context where teachers in subsequent grade levels have to reteach foundational skills to accommodate for the gap created by the lack of appropriate emphasis earlier. It may require students to “unlearn” previous ways of conceptualizing content and essentially start all over.  \nSTAAR: focus, clarity, depth  \n[The TEKS] are designed to prepare students to succeed in college, in careers and to compete globally. However, consistent with a growing national consensus regarding the need to provide a more clearly articulated K 16 education program that focuses on fewer skills and addresses those skills in a deeper manner, TEA has further refined the TEKS organization as follows.  \nSTAAR is designed around three concepts: focus, clarity, and depth:  \nFocus: STAAR will focus on grade level standards that are critical for that grade level and the ones to follow  \nClarity: STAAR will assess the eligible TEKS at a level of specificity that allow students to demonstrate mastery  \nDepth: STAAR will assess the eligible TEKS at a higher cognitive level and in novel contexts  \nSTAAR: the assessed curriculum readiness, supporting, and process standards  \nA key concept that underpins the design of STAAR is that all standards (TEKS) do not play the same role in student learning. Simply stated, some standards (TEKS) have greater priority than others-they are so vital to the current grade level or content area that they must be learned to a level of mastery to ensure readiness (success) in the next grade levels. Other standards are important in helping to support learning, to maintain a previously learned standard, or to prepare students for a more complex standard taught at a later grade.  \nBy assessing the TEKS that are most critical to the content area in more rigorous ways, STAAR will better measure the academic performance of students as they progress from elementary to middle to high school. Based on educator committee recommendations, for each grade level or course, TEA has identified a set of readiness standards-the TEKS which help students develop deep and enduring understanding of the concepts in each content area. The remaining knowledge and skills are considered supporting standards and will be assessed less frequently, but still play a very important role in learning.  \nReadiness standards have the following characteristics:  \n» They are essential for success in the current grade or course.  \n","cbCaiiH6jA7xDybl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiH6jA7xDybl","pdf",9388976,63,"English","# STAAR Overview\n## Purpose of STAAR and Teacher Questions\n## Vertical Alignment with TEKS\n## Focus, Clarity, Depth\n# Assessed Standards\n## Readiness Standards\n## Supporting Standards\n## Assessing Rigor and Cognitive Complexity\n# STAAR Field Guide for Teachers\n## Guide Components and Instruction Planning","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of STAAR for teachers and students?\",\"answer\":\"STAAR is designed to confirm students learned the intended grade-level content, are ready for the next grade, and are prepared for the grade after that.
