Implemented in the spring of 2012, the STAAR program includes annual assessments in the following areas:  \n● Reading: Grades 3 through 8  \n● Mathematics: Grades 3 through 8  \n● Science: Grades 5 and 8  \n● Social Studies: Grade 8  \nThe STAAR program is designed to be a rigorous assessment that emphasizes\"readiness\" standards, focusing on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) that are most crucial for success in subsequent grades or courses, as well as for college and career preparedness.  \nSTAAR Scoring-Performance Standards  \nSTAAR performance standards align levels of test performance with the expectations set by the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) . The Texas Education Agency (TEA) establishes cut scores to differentiate performance levels, classifying scholars into appropriate performance categories:  \nThrough our commitment to Responsibility, Intellectual Investment, Service, and Excellence, Essence Preparatory Public School aims to prepare our scholars for these assessments and support their academic growth and success.  \n**STAAR ALTERNATE 2  \nSTAAR Alternate 2 is an assessment based on alternate academic standards and is designed for scholars with significant cognitive disabilities receiving special education services. Additionally, the scholars must meet participation requirements. STAAR Alternate 2 was developed to meet federal requirements of both the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) . ESEA requires that all scholars be assessed in specific grades and subjects throughout their academic career, whereas IDEA requires that scholars with disabilities have access to the same standards as their non-disabled peers and be included in statewide assessments. STAAR Alternate 2, which was redesigned as a result of state legislation passed in 2013, is a standardized assessment administered individually to each eligible scholar. scholars must meet specific requirements to take STAAR Alternate 2, which is available for the same grades and subjects assessed in the general STAAR program.  \nAdmissions, Review and Dismissal (ARD) CommiŌees  \nARD commiŶees ensure that a scholar meets all mandated participation requirements, which were developed by TEA and reviewed by educator advisory commiŶees and educator review commiŶees. If the scholar has asignificant cognitive disability that requires the scholar to access the grade-level TEKS through prerequisite skills, then the ARD commiŶee should review the participation requirements for STAAR Alternate 2. If the ARD commiŶee determines that a scholar meets all of the participation requirements, the scholar should be assessed with STAAR Alternate 2.  \n**TEXAS ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY ASSESSMENT SYSTEM  \n(TELPAS)  \nTELPAS is an assessment program for scholars in Texas public schools who are learning the English language. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) developed TELPAS to meet state and federal testing requirements. Texas assesses English language learners (ELLs) annually in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, scholars learning the English language begin participating in TELPAS in kindergarten and stop participating when their language proficiency assessment commiŶee (LPAC) determines that they are proficient in the English language.  \nScholars in Grades K-1  \nFor scholars in kindergarten through grade 1, TELPAS consists of holistically rated assessments in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The holistically rated assessments use classroom observations to measure scholars' progress in listening, speaking, and writing in English.  \nScholars in Grades 2-12  \nFor scholars in grades 2-12, TELPAS has multiple-c","cbCaibeBV7F8lopp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibeBV7F8lopp","pdf",637871,"English","# STAAR Overview\n## Assessment Areas and Grade Levels\n## STAAR Scoring and Performance Standards\n## STAAR Alternate 2\n## Admissions, Review and Dismissal (ARD) Committees\n## Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS)\n## TELPAS Alternate Overview\n## Link to STAAR Interim Assessments","[{\"question\":\"What subjects and grade levels are covered by STAAR?\",\"answer\":\"STAAR includes reading and mathematics for grades 3–8, science for grades 5 and 8, and social studies for grade 8.\"},{\"question\":\"How are STAAR performance categories determined?\",\"answer\":\"Texas Education Agency (TEA) establishes cut scores that differentiate performance levels and place scholars into appropriate performance categories based on TEKS expectations.\"},{\"question\":\"What is STAAR Alternate 2 and who is it for?\",\"answer\":\"STAAR Alternate 2 is an assessment based on alternate academic standards for scholars with significant cognitive disabilities receiving special education services who meet required participation conditions.
