  1. The Best of the Best ELAR From the CScope State Conference 2011

  2. Performance Indicators Performance indicators reveal what the students know, understand, and are able to do. Tammy McDuff, CScope Conference, August 2011 Silsbee ISD • To effectively implement CScope, use the unit tests along with the performance indicators. • ELAR and Social Studies are hit hard on the STAAR; so performance indicators are an excellent tool. • Performance indicators are evidence of student attainment of and/or progression toward TEKS. PI include a tangible product or some sort of observable performance.

  3. Performance Indicators Keep in Mind… • Some indicators are on-going. • PI’s are multi-step; teach them in pieces. • Effective teachers work backwards. You must know what is at the end before you begin.

  4. STAAR(State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness) Ok, seriously…we don’t know much yet…BUT…here’s what we do know: Tested standards: • Readiness • Necessary for next grade • Tested every year • Broad and deep concepts, skills, & ideas • 30-40% of eligible TEKS • 60-65% of STAAR • Supporting • Introduced for following year or reinforced from previous year • No defined testing year • Narrowly defined content & concepts • 60-70% of eligible TEKS • 35-40% STAAR Paula Pemberton-Kelm CScope Conference, August 2011

  5. STAAR Reporting categories (objectives) for Reading: • Understanding Across Genres (3-4) Understanding and Analysis of Genres (5-8) • Understanding and Analysis of Literary Texts • Understanding and Analysis of Informational Texts Paula Pemberton-Kelm CScope Conference, August 2011

  6. STAAR Reporting Categories for Writing: • Composition (2 comp’s: personal narrative & expository) • Revision (9 multiple choice) • Editing (19 multiple choice) Good news! There will be no more automatic failures because a child scored a 1on the composition, but passed editing. Paula Pemberton-Kelm CScope Conference, August 2011
