STAAR EOC ASSESSMENTS
Other interesting things about HB 5…
STAAR EOC Assessments no longer include:
•
A cumulative score requirement for graduation
• •
A minimum score to count towards the cumulative score The requirement that the score count as 15% of the final course grade
STAAR EOC ASSESSMENTS
Other interesting things about HB 5:
• •
Limits the number of benchmark assessments to two per state assessment Prohibits districts from removing students from class for remedial tutoring or test preparation for more than 10% of the school day
ALGEBRA I EOC
• • •
TEA seeks NCLB waiver amendment on 8th grade Algebra I testing 11/6/13
Addresses the issue of multiple assessments for Texas students taking Algebra I at the middle school level.
Current requirement is for students to have a mathematics score every year in grades 3-8, as well as a mathematics score in HS. Still in process.
STAAR EOC ASSESSMENTS
TEA is required to release general STAAR assessments for grades 3-8 and EOC (first spring form only) and STAAR Spanish assessments for grades 3-5 (first spring form only) in:
•
2012-2013
• • •
2013-2014 2014-2015 2015-2016
COMMISSIONER’S RULES
• • •
TEA will maintain the phase-in 1 performance standards for the STAAR program for the 2013-2014 school year Grades 3-8 – schools did not receive performance level data on students until January 2013, which limited the time available to adjust instruction prior to the spring 2013 administrations For all grades and courses, schools did not have access either to a released test form (as they had in the first year of TAKS) or to the associated item-level analysis for their students
STAAR MODIFIED
• • •
STAAR Modified will be administered for the final time in spring 2014 TEA Student Assessment convened an advisory committee in September 2013 to work on plans for the inclusion of this population of students in the general assessment program beginning in spring 2015.

Teaming Up to Tackle STAAR Checklist
STAAR PRINCIPLE #1
PLAY MAKING BASED ON DATA
IDENTIFYING HOTSPOTS
• • • • • •
Use your STAAR data to assess last year’s practices and to predict performance. What SEs have been problematic?
Circle these SEs (80% or less) Use your curriculum guide to identify which of these SEs are READINESS STANDARDS Highlight these SEs in PINK If they are PINK and CIRCLED – THIS IS A HOTSPOT!
STAAR PRINCIPLE #1: PLAY MAKING BASED ON DATA ANALYSIS
• • • • • • • • •
Where are your hot spots?
Note them on CPGs, Pacing Guides, YAGs. Note on your lessons.
What hotspots are coming up in the next six weeks?
Which can we spiral throughout the year?
What can we do to keep track of progress?
Are students working at the level of the descriptors? (We’ll look at these soon.) What are your plans?
Huddle up!
Analyzing the Film: Where are our weaknesses? How can we fix them?
MATH HOT SPOTS GR. 3-5
This was the lowest scoring item across the region.
What can we glean?
Index 2 requires student growth from grade to grade. This one item might make the difference
OTHER THINGS WE LEARNED MATH GRADE 3
• • 3 rd grade students are expected to use tools to solve problems. Those tools can range from pictures of real objects to manipulatives that are used to teach math concepts.
Students need to be able to understand how to use the tools that are provided to prevent common errors.
TEKS 3.4C and 3.14D
• Students are expected to justify why an answer is reasonable and explain the solution process. • 4 th graders must be able to explain why 9 4 is the fraction represented by the model.
• Students need to have opportunities in class to communicate why and how they arrived at the answer.
• • • • Only 42% of students across the region answered this correctly. Nearly as many (39%) chose answer H. What can we glean from this knowledge?
How do your students compare?
• Multi-step problems were found throughout our STAAR test. Students need to use a problem solving model that incorporates analyzing information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the process and reasonableness of the solution.
• In this 5 symbols. th grade example of a multi-step problem, we can see how students are expected to relate informal language to mathematical language and
72% of students across the region answered this correctly. How can we use this data in our planning?
• • 40% Correct 6.10D, 6.11 B • • 6.11 B Students use a ruler to measure.
6.10 D Students must place a new entry on the line plot and analyze the validity of the four answer choices.
•
The analysis piece seems to be the most difficult for students.
STAAR SYNOPSIS
STAAR SYNOPSIS
• • • 42% Correct 7.12 B, 7.14A
Students are expected to know that mean, median and mode either summarize the data or predict a future value. Range is a measure of variance.
•
Vocabulary instruction is CRITICAL to student success on STAAR!
STAAR SYNOPSIS
• • • • 45% Correct 8.8C, 8.14B
From the information provided, students must choose a plan (e.g., draw a net or 3-D model), round measurements and estimate total surface area
Students need to have physical models throughout geometry and measurement units so that they can create their own models as needed!
ALGEBRA I EOC ESSENTIALS MULTIPLE REPRESENTATION • 17% of the 2013 released Algebra I EOC involves understanding and analyzing mathematical ideas in one representation, and translating the ideas to a different representation.
• Representation of mathematical ideas may be graphical, tabular, verbal, and algebraic which includes understanding symbols.
ALGEBRA I EOC ESSENTIALS FORMAL MATHEMATICS VOCABULARY • To successfully answer the Algebra I EOC assessment items, students much remember, understand, and apply formal mathematics vocabulary terms.
• Careful selection of formal mathematics vocabulary is a vital component of planning and instruction
ALGEBRA I EOC ESSENTIALS CONCEPTS AND JUSTIFICATION RATHER THAN CALCULATIONS • Approximately 38% of Mathematics TAKS was supported with use of a graphing calculator.
• Approximately 11% of the 2013 Algebra I EOC is supported with use of a graphing calculator.
• Students are asked to understand, analyze, and apply to answer assessment items.

READING ESSENTIALS
Students must be able to identify the “tools” an author uses to craft a piece and to pinpoint/articulate how they affect meaning.
Students must be able to make connections —at differing levels of depth and complexity —both within and across texts (including connections between a text and its accompanying photograph or procedural piece)
READING ESSENTIALS
Students must have a command of and be able to apply the specific academic vocabulary associated with literary and informational reading.
Student must know how to find and use text evidence to confirm the validity of an idea both within and across texts.
WRITING ESSENTIALS
• •
Unconnected ideas = superficial development Superficial development = a score of 2
•
The best development is real, based on a student’s own experiences and thinking about the world.
•
Using space effectively requires both planning and revision!

SOCIAL STUDIES DATA ANALYSIS
Problem Area for grade 8
Concepts of human and physical geography are tested at the comparison level. This requires conceptual understanding and analytical thinking, especially
inferring
.
Include human and physical geography concepts in every unit including appropriate visuals from which student must make
inferences
and provide evidence from the prompt. Using two prompts will increase rigor. Always have students
justify
their thinking and have them write in journals or write
