Sirius provides a free download that explores the challenges presented by this spring’s STAAR results with current TEKS instruction and offers strategies to improve STAAR outcomes for all students.
This spring’s STAAR results have left many Texas educators concerned: only 43% of math students and 54% of RLA students met grade level or above. These numbers raise an important question: Are students truly learning what’s being tested on STAAR? And if not, what can we do to close the gap?
To close the gap, Sirius has created a free download that explores these challenges with current TEKS instruction and offers strategies to improve STAAR outcomes for all students.
Key takeaways include:
- What educators first need to recognize about the STAAR test before finding their solution
- The type of curriculum that educators are encouraged to adopt for students who struggle with content mastery
- What Tier 1 students need to show in their work to move into Meets and Masters grade level
- How to further accommodate students who fall in Tier 2
- How educators can promote a thinking classroom culture that’s essential for STAAR success
- Further reading from Robert Marzano on what content and format students need to learn from
At Sirius, we believe each subject area’s STAAR-tested thinking can be learned through quality instruction and practice. Moreover, districts that use Sirius now have access to MasteryPrep’s full lineup of Boot Camps for STAAR, TSIA2, ACT, and SATs—without losing the high-quality STAAR support trusted in over 700 TX districts.
Download our free resource to see how you can align your TEKS instruction with STAAR-tested thinking and give every student the opportunity to succeed.
