STAAR Snapshots and STAAR Readiness Standards: A Vertical Look

[TEA originally published STAAR Blueprints and Assessed Curriculum Documents in October of 2010.  Since that time, TEA has revised certain of the Blueprints and the Assessed Curriculum Documents to reflect finalized TEKS (e.g., in Social Studies) or refinements in the identification of standards as either Readiness Standards or Supporting Standards.  As TEA posts updated Blueprints or Assessed Curriculum Documents, lead4ward will re-post its STAAR Snapshots and Aligned Readiness Standards to reflect changes made by TEA. Any updates to lead4ward documents will be posted at the beginning of each month.  Users are advised to check the website periodically to ensure that they have the most up-to-date version of the relevant document.]

Grades 3-8

End of Course

October 2011 Revisions – STAAR Snapshots were revised to include information from STAAR Modified blueprints. The STAAR Readiness Standards: A Vertical Look documents were revised to reflect the K-2 TEKS Snapshots. Previously these documents showed aligned standards without regard to classification of standard type.

TEKS Snapshots: Ready for STAAR (K-2)

[The classification of standards on these snapshots (as Readiness, Supporting or Process) represent the reviewed and synthesized input of a sample Texas Kindergarten – Grade 2 teachers.  These snapshots DO NOT represent a publication of the Texas Education Agency. District curriculum may reflect other classifications.  Note that these snapshots may be revised based on additional input from the field. Revised September 2011]

STAAR Snapshot Student Learning Reports

[The STAAR Snapshot Student Learning Reports are designed to be used to help students track their progress in learning the Student Expectations assessed on STAAR]
