Sirius Online is aligned with the TEKS standards and expectations for the 5th grade science curriculum that the students are required to master on the Science STAAR Test. The program provides the resources that support students’ ability to meet that goal.

As a first-year teacher, the Sirius resources assisted me by staying focused with the TEKS. I found Sirius to be very user friendly and my students gave Sirius a thumbs up.

I’d absolutely recommend Sirius to others. It’s convenient, lesson-ready, ready-to-go. It reduces prep time. It’s all that we use.

Sirius Online is a great platform that emulates what students will see the day of STAAR. The platform allows for students to effectively prepare and practice the concepts they struggle in.

I love how it’s tailored to TEXAS TEKS. I love the catch-all system for scenarios that could occur within students’ testing and tracking minutes on the system and/or lessons.

We use Sirius in our End Of Course/STAAR prep classes. We embed lessons and practice assignments for students to supplement the Lectured instruction. Students can compile their portfolios, demonstrating their knowledge and skills and supporting their success on STAAR/OC. This also supports the IGC offered in specific instances when needed. Our teachers can focus on specific lessons and allow our Emergent bilinguals to learn in their home language and English. This is a campus goal and initiative to increase our EB graduation rates. Another campus initiative uses short cycle assessments from Sirius to identify students who need small group RtI to close their gaps. Our campus has consecutively scored above District, and State STAAR averages over the last 4 years. We love the products.
