The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®)
Unwrapping State Assessment Accommodations




The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) is a standardized academic achievement test designed to measure the extent to which a student has learned and is able to apply the defined knowledge and skills in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) at each tested grade, subject, and course.

Important Session Information:


What is the purpose of an accommodation?  What are the basic underlying principles and terms?  What does routinely, independently and effectively mean?  How can I provide accommodations in the classroom that support state assessment accommodations?

STAAR Accommodations are divided into three main categories: 

  1. Accessibility Features
  2. Locally-Approved Designated Supports
  3. Designated Supports Requiring TEA Approval                                                                         

Join us to take a deeper look at the tools available to educators so that students are never surprised on test day!

Attendees are encouraged to bring their laptops, samples of supplemental aides used in the classroom and STAAR, a copy of the list of accommodations your decision making committees use in decision making meetings (RTI, ARD, IEP, LPAC).
