Assessment and Accountability
Assessment:
Assessing student performance and evaluating the effectiveness of instruction are essential. The Texas Assessment program consists of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR), STAAR Alternate 2, the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS), and TELPAS Alternate. Both federal and state laws require these assessments.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) provides optional resources such as STAAR Interim Assessments and the Texas Formative Assessment Resource (TFAR). These tools are available at no cost to Texas school districts. These assessments offer valuable formative assessment and benchmarking opportunities.
Our team supports campuses and districts by delivering relevant information and training on both required and optional assessments provided by TEA. We offer technical assistance and training sessions for district test coordinators (DTCs) across the region; our goal is to lead and serve to ensure that educators are well-informed and prepared.
Accountability:
School success requires a collective effort from dedicated district leaders, administrators, and teachers. Success is truly a team effort.
Our team stays informed on the latest updates from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) in the areas of State and Federal Accountability. The team offers professional development, tailored training, and coaching to campus and district leaders in their pursuit of improved school performance.
