To Increase Rigor STAAR Will Assess
content and skills at greater depth
high level of cognitive complexity
more than one student expectation in an item
focused student expectation multiple times in more complex ways
more rigorous items thereby overall test difficulty

The drawing shows a model of the Earth, moon, and sun system made from foam balls. What is one way to make this model more accurate?
A Use wooden blocks instead of foam balls
B* Make the sun larger than the Earth and the moon smaller
C Move the sun closer to the Earth
D Change the order of the foam balls to be moon, sun, Earth

Underlying Processes and Mathematical Tools (Process Skills)
Will be assessed differently
Will be assessed in context, not in isolation
Will be assessed in a more integrated and authentic manner

Underlying Processes and Mathematical Tools (Process Skills)Will not be listed under a separate reporting category
Will be incorporated into at least 75% of the test questions
Will be reported along with the content skills under the other reporting categories

Griddable Questions
A type of open-ended question used for science and mathematics assessments
Purpose is to provide students opportunities to derive answers independently without being influenced by answer choices provided with the questions

STAAR Griddable Questions
Grades 3- 5 Math
Will have 3 griddable questions
Will use same grid as is currently used on TAKS

PISD Curriculum & STAAR
Skills and Concepts in Context
Mathematical Processes
TEKS are Clustered
Multi-tasking
Multiple Strategies & Representations
Mathematical Communication

Next Steps
Review curriculum for scope and sequence of readiness and supporting standards.
Review and align resources.
Review and adjust local assessments with the new standards and level of rigor.

General Information:Test Length
Word count attached to overall test rather that to individual pieces, as in TAKSMaximum word count increases from grade to gradeNumber of pieces included on a test can vary from year to yearNumber of questions vary, depending on selection length

General Information
Paired selections begin at grade 4Paired selections can mix strands and genresAssessment will emphasize critical analysis rather than literal understandingItems will have a higher cognitive complexity to match the ELAR/R TEKS

Revision & EditingRevision and editing assessed separately32% of multiple-choice score from revision (9 items)68% of score from editing (19 items)Revision is focused on effectiveness and strengthening/improving various aspects of a piece of writingEditing is focused on correctness (conventions)
Example of Grade 4 revision stem:
David would like to improve his story by adding a strong concluding sentenced after sentence 28. Which of these would be the BEST sentence to add?

CompositionStudents will write two one-page compositions addressing different types of writing.
Personal Narrative:Write about important personal experiences
Expository:Create brief compositions that establish a central idea in a topic sentence, contain a concluding statement, and include supporting sentence with simple facts, details, and explanations
