Maria Luisa Cardenas, a 4th-grade reading and math teacher in San Antonio, uses Sirius Online throughout the entire school year—not just in the weeks leading up to the STAAR test, as many other districts do. By integrating Sirius into her daily teaching, Maria has developed a personalized approach to learning that focuses on each student’s unique needs.

Sirius Online offers the flexibility teachers need to tailor their instruction to both their own teaching styles and their students’ individual learning challenges. Our materials are always aligned with the annual STAAR test, making Sirius especially valuable for students who are new to the test.

Using Sirius has helped students succeed who have not passed STAAR tests in previous years. Maria was proud to see special education and Tier 3 students reach “Approaches Grade Level” for the first time ever after using Sirius.

“For those who haven’t gotten Sirius, you’ll have a greater chance of passing your students once you do.”
