
STAR is a customized math (and reading) test
for students to take on the computer
It determines the math/reading skills of each
student and measures growth for each
student (progress monitoring)



STAR Math/Reading should be administered
five times per year for grades 2-8 (and three
times per year for grade 1)
STAR can be given as often as every other
week for at-risk students for progress
monitoring purposes (we would like to give it
every two weeks for at-risk students)



We can progress monitor EVERY student and
make informed decisions regarding
classroom instruction, pacing, intervention,
ability grouping, etc.
We can inform parents about their child’s
progress in mathematics/reading
This will be a requirement of RTI for reading
and for mathematics

Screening, Progress Monitoring & Intervention
◦ Progress Monitoring and Goals allows you to see
the percentile rank for each student and the color
coding of red (in need of intensive intervention),
yellow (in need of strategic interventions), blue (on
watch), and green (nothing needed)

Screening Status allows you to see the
percent of completion for your grade level

Under Reports
◦ Diagnostic- (can do for an individual student or an entire
class) gives the statistical breakdowns, bar charts for the
Numeration Objectives and the Computational
Objectives
◦ Summary- this is good for sorting students by rank so
that you can see student performance in order from
highest to lowest (sorted by grade equivalence)
◦ Test Record- this will be helpful for students who are
tested more frequently because you will be able to see
all of the results for a student on one page
◦ Parent- this is the letter that is sent home when the
student is progress monitored (3 x per year)
◦ Snapshot- this shows all of the statistics available on the
Diagnostic report but for the entire group rather than
one student per page



Learning Progressions- provides detailed
definitions, skill prerequisites, worked examples
and sample problems to help with instructional
planning (can look at a class or individual
students)
Instructional Planning- provides a list of
recommended skills for instruction based on
most recent assessment (can look at a class or
individual students)
State Performance- Graphs student progress on
the pathway to proficiency on the
Ohio OAA Test (can look at a class or individual
students)
