Presented by Dennis Lind MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 2013 SPRING HILL ISD STAAR End-of-Course Parent Meeting

SENATE BILL 1031  Requires end-of-course (EOC) assessment instruments in Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English I, English II, English III, World Geography, World History and United States History.  The purpose of the EOC exams are to measure student’s academic performance in core high school courses.  The EOC exams are also part of graduation requirements beginning with the freshman class of 2011–2012.

NEW ASSESSMENT DESIGN  “Fewer, Deeper, clearer” focus  Linked to college and career readiness  Will emphasize “readiness” standards, defined as those TEKS considered critical for success in the current grade/subject  Will include other TEKS that are considered supporting standards that will be assessed

C HALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH STAAR T ESTING …  More items per assessment  More assessment days per calendar year  Significantly more rigorous, greater depth and complexity  Focus on preparation for high school and college and career readiness  4 hour time limit for testing

RAW SCORE CONVERSION TABLES  Raw Score-how many questions answered correctly  Scale Score Conversion Table-how the raw score will be “converted” or changed into a scale score
