Performance (testing) standards Cut scores used to define performance ranges for individual
students e.g. Panel Recommended Standard, Commended Performance
Accountability standards Cut points of aggregate student performance used to assign
ratings to educational organizations e.g. 70% met standard = Academically Acceptable
Key state accountability changes for 2011
TAKS-M and TAKS-Alt included Increased AA standard for math (65) and
science (60) New commended performance indicator

No SSI retest opportunities STAAR results (3-8) not released until fall 2012
(performance standards set over the summer) Aggregate STAAR results will be available at

TAAS Grade 10
(1999)
STAAR overview Assessments
Grades 3-8 Same subjects as TAKS R & M vertically linked to English III and Algebra II
Grades 9-12 12 end-of-course assessments Minimum performance required on all EOCs for
graduation English III and Algebra II performance will determine
diploma status (e.g. DAP, RHSP)
STAAR administration details
STAAR Accommodated not a separate form STAAR Modified
Not available for Algebra II, chemistry, physics Will have embedded field test items
STAAR Alternate will be available STAAR L for ELLs administered online Online oral administration
Other STAAR details
STAAR items will be field tested on TAKS in 2011 Phase-in of satisfactory performance standard
(e.g. 2 SEM, 1 SEM), but not readiness standard May adopt a time limit (but still not a timed test) Remediation required for any student failing a
STAAR assessment (3-8 and EOC) Some items released over next 3 years, but no full
test release until 2014 Reporting categories replacing objectives
STAAR v. TAKS Increased rigor and depth
Greater number of more difficult items Greater level of cognitive complexity Rigor validated against nationally-normed exams and
reviewed every 3 years
Increased number of items Higher performance standards Increased number of gridable items in math and
science Process skills embedded in Math, Sci, Soc St
