Prepare for the worst and hope for the best  Grade 7 Pre-AP: must follow S&S for this course  S&S purposefully omits a few Math 8 standards  If students are taught all of Math 8, then, by law, they must take Math 8 STAAR  Grades 9 – 12: Algebra I STAAR EOC required for graduation

4. ANNOUNCEMENTS  Who uses graphing calculators?  All Algebra I and Math 8 students MUST use graphing calculators on STAAR  Include their use as a tool (not as a substitute for deep thinking) in daily instruction  Grade 7 Pre-AP  Will NOT use graphing calculators on Math 7 STAAR  Include their use as a tool (not as a substitute for deep thinking) in daily instruction  Grade 6 and 7  Include their use as a tool (not as a substitute for deep thinking) in daily instruction

5. ANNOUNCEMENTS  Snapshot and DLA: Blueprints/Outlines, Interventions, and Student Self-Analysis  Blueprints: Google “HISD Curriculum”; look on the LH side for “Snapshots and District-Level Assessment Resources”  Intervention Documents and Student Self-Analysis: eLearn and HUB: Course>>District Assessments>>Snapshots>>

24. BREAKOUT SESSIONS  Middle School  Library  High School  Room 110

25. Middle School Breakout Session

26. TEKS Anticipation Guide Before Statement After TrueFalseTrueFalse The knowledge and skills statements are tested on STAAR. The process standards are different for each grade level. The process standards are more specific. Personal financial literacy will be tested on STAAR. There are new STAAR Reference Materials. The reporting categories have changed. STAAR griddable items have a positive and negative bubble. The current STAAR performance standard is phase-in 1. Tested SEs are unknown. In grade 8, calculators should be used during testing only.
