STAR Testing will be replacing our yearly ITBS testing. Instead of a once-a-year testing block like ITBS, STAR tests take about 20 min. We will have 3 testing periods over the course of the year. This will help to provide teachers with instant feedback in order to help support our students.
"STAR assessments provide the most valid, reliable, actionable data in the least amount of testing time—usually 20 minutes or less. That empowers educators to focus on what matters most—individualizing instruction to accelerate learning for all students."
Parent’s Guide to STAR™ Assessments
*Make sure your student is well-rested & fed during testing weeks.
*Remind your student that tests measure what they know, not how amazing they are.
DISCLAIMER: Tests cannot measure a student's creativity, motivation, leadership, empathy, self-discipline, self-awareness, civic-mindedness, morals, compassion, courage, sense of wonder, spontaneity, humility, persistence, humor, curiosity, resourcefulness, responsibility, or enthusiasm.
