Each week, you will receive an informative e-mail providing description of instructional implications of the new STAAR. This series will address topics such as: general information on the new assessment, deconstruction of science TEKS in relation to new assessment items, and guidance on creation of assessment items to help your students prepare and succeed. All grade levels of the science assessment will be included. The communications will begin on February 6 and continue through April 3. Credit for the course is optional and will be contingent on replies to the email.
