4. Lessons Learned From STAAR 2011-2012 4 Campus A – Fourth grade child e-mailed STAAR website requesting scores on Writing. In checking, campus failed to give STAAR Writing to student because she was a LEP student. Students who are eligible for STAAR-L Math, Science, and Social Studies tests still must take the appropriate STAAR Reading and/or Writing test (depending on grade). Campus B – Campus gave STAAR General tests to all LEP students in Math, Science, and Social Studies. STAAR -L eligible students should have been given STAAR -L for those tests. Scores stand for those students.

5. Lessons Learned From STAAR 2011-2012 Continued 5 Campus C – Campus failed to bubble the answer document correctly and 47 Bilingual students who took the STAAR test in Spanish were incorrectly scored against the STAAR General English test key. Campus D – Campus gave STAAR General test to students whose ARD Committee recommended the STAAR Modified. Campus had to contact parents and determine if parent wanted the test scored. Student missed opportunity to test. Campus did not have check system in place to avoid giving student the incorrect assessment.

17. Linguistic Accommodations for ELLs 17

18. Let us not forget Moises 18

19. STAAR Linguistic Accommodation Eligibility Criteria and Decisions  LPAC’s linguistic accommodation decisions must be made on individual student basis  Decisions must be based on —  student’s particular needs for second language acquisition support  whether student is routinely provided the accommodation in instruction and testing  Providing unfamiliar accommodations may hinder rather than help student  LPACs must coordinate with subject area teachers Linguistic Accommodations Guide for ELLS Participating in STAAR Linguistic Accommodations Guide for ELLS Participating in STAAR  Use Linguistic Accommodations Guide for ELLS Participating in STAAR Use Linguistic Accommodations Guide for ELLS Participating in STAAR No changes to linguistic accommodations policies this year 19

20. Linguistic Accommodations During State Assessment Not all accommodations suitable for instruction are allowable during state assessments InstructionalAssessment Designed to foster and support learning Measure degree students have met curriculum and performance standards Classroom instruction allows for more accommodations Standardization and test administration logistics narrow possibilities 20

21. Degrees Of Linguistic Accommodations No Specified linguistic accommodations; observational classroom–based assessment design STAAR Spanish No Accommodations STAAR General Limited Accommodations STAAR L Moderate Accommodations STAAR Modified Degree varies in accordance with second language acquisition needs STAAR Alternate Least Most 21

22. STAAR Spanish  F or ELLs for whom Spanish version of STAAR is most appropriate measure of academic progress  For Grades 3-5  No Allowable Accommodations- The assessment is provided in student’s native language, other linguistic accommodations not applicable For the STAAR program, whether a student has been retained and would be taking STAAR in Spanish for more than 3 years is not a limited factor (In other words years in U.S. schools is not taken into consideration ) 22

23. STAAR Spanish for Students in ESL Programs  In addition to being appropriate for ELLs in bilingual programs who are receiving academic instruction in Spanish, STAAR Spanish may sometimes be appropriate for students in ESL programs Examples of ESL program: – Spanish speakers who have recently moved to the U.S. – ELLs who have recently moved from a campus where they were enrolled in bilingual program – Students who receive substantial academic support in Spanish Assessment and Linguistic Accommodation Decisions for ELLs must be made on individual student basis in the Spring by LPAC 23

26. STAAR L  STAAR L is for students who require moderate to substantial linguistic accommodation to understand the English used on STAAR mathematics, science, and social studies assessments  STAAR L is not for ELLs for whom a bilingual dictionary and/or extra time suffice. STAAR allows these linguistic accommodations 26 STAAR L is not available in Spanish

30. Assessment Decisions for ELLs Receiving Special Education Services ELLs receiving special education services may be administered any assessment depending on whether they meet the participation requirements – STAAR – STAAR Spanish – STAAR L – STAAR Modified – STAAR Alternate Chapter 101 of the TAC requires the LPAC to work in conjunction with the ARD committee to make assessment decisions for these students The collaboration helps ensure that factors related to disabling conditions and second language acquisition are both carefully considered 30
