The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR™) will replace the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), which is the criterion-referenced assessment program that has been in place since 2003. STAAR™ includes the 12 end-of-course (EOC) assessments mandated by SB 1031 in 2007 and the new grade 3–8 assessments mandated by HB 3 in 2009. The new tests will be implemented in the 2011–2012 school year.

Description:
This year our students across the state of Texas will be embarking on a new state assessment called the STAAR: State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness.
This training will give you all the information you need to know to understand the formation and design of the new assessment. Information will also be provided on how you can continue to support your child at home by understanding your child’s learning style and ways you can reinforce learning at home, which will transfer over to success in school and the STAAR assessment.
