What is the Texas STAAR Assessment?

The Texas STAAR assessment is a standardized test that is used to measure student achievement in Texas. The test covers a wide range of topics, including reading, mathematics, science, and social studies. The STAAR test is administered to students in grades 3-8 and end-of-course (EOC) exams for high school students. The STAAR test is designed to provide information about how well students are mastering the state’s curriculum standards.

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) releases resources for the Texas STAAR test each year so students can prep. The problem is that it’s hard for teachers to get their hands on authentic full versions of the tests. The sample question sets are short, and they often do not utilize text-enhanced items (TEI). 

We’ve compiled the TEA resources and linked TeacherMade activities, so your students can experience online testing before the big test date.

If you need to know if your students passed STAAR, here’s a raw score conversion table for this year’s test. As the TEA releases more scores, the page will be updated. Individual subject charts are:

The 2023 Texas STAAR Test will be different than in years past. House Bill 3906 set a full redesign of the annual Texas standardized test into motion.

Given that the Texas STAAR Test 2023 is now administered online, it only makes sense for teachers and administrators to do the same!

Reviewing for standardized tests at the end of the year can be rough. But check out TeacherMade’s review materials for the Texas STAAR test. We made activities that are easy to implement in your classroom to eliminate the guesswork as you get down to crunch time.

Does it feel like standardized tests are constantly changing? It can be hard to keep up as educators, and we want you to be prepped on the new STAAR Item Types and the upcoming changes to the STAAR testing program.

Assessment is a vital part of teaching, both in the brick-and-mortar classroom and in online settings. Creating an effective feedback loop requires accurate and consistent assessment. At the best of times, it can be time-consuming, and at the worst, it falls through the cracks. 

With countless ways to assess student progress and understanding, how can you find the best free assessment tools for teachers?

Teaching is a marathon and requires daily focus to get to the finish line. In Texas, that finish line is the TX STAAR test. We’ll walk you through the practice activities and how to use them effectively. (Big hint: train a little each day to reduce burnout.) Have your students peak at the right time with our tools and strategies. 

Tutoring for learning loss is something that educators have been doing for decades. When a student falls behind, the obvious key is to help them out with a more focused approach. That’s the state of Texas’s logic behind legislation that targets students who have experienced learning loss as measured by the Texas STAAR assessments

In this article, we’ll discuss Texas House Bill 4545 and how to implement these policies into your everyday school schedule.

Our complete Texas STAAR Math test guide will help you understand this test, what kind of questions students will answer, and what study materials are needed. Having the right resources for your students makes them confident enough to pass the exam.

As with many other standardized tests, the goal was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the curriculum and how academically capable each student was in regard to the test itself and compare it against other students in the same grade.

Depending on students’ needs, they may be eligible for accessibility and accommodations during the Texas STAAR exam.

It’s hard to keep up with changes with Texas curriculum and STAAR testing. Here’s how to start your year off right with accurate updates to the Texas Social Studies Standards and Texas TEKS.
