Suggested Training for Region, District, and Campus Professionals

It is the intent of TEA's Student Assessment Division that all resources created to clarify testing and accommodation policies be accessible to educators at the region, district, and campus levels, including classroom teachers.

This is a comprehensive training but does not take the place of reading the associated documents located on TEA's Accommodation Resources webpage.

Relevant district and campus staff will need to read all of the policies and related resources once they are posted on the Accommodations Resources webpage. These documents contain all the details.

Accessibility

Ensuring that each student can interact appropriately with the content, presentation, and response mode of the test.

Assessments should allow all test takers to demonstrate their knowledge of the content being tested without the format of the assessment, nontested language, or the type of response needed to answer the questions being barriers.

In order to meet this goal, various features and accommodations are made available on STAAR paper and online tests to students who use the same or similar supports during classroom instruction .
