2 Moving Forward Making a Difference

3 Introduction The STAAR Modified Item Comparison Guide is designed with general education and special education classroom teachers in mind. This resource provides a structure and a process for evaluating the differences between STAAR and STAAR Modified. The reader can compare the differences between STAAR and STAAR Modified to aid instructional decisions for classroom use. As teachers review each item and the corresponding modifications from the Modification Guidelines, it is important to keep in mind that the complexity of the item is similar to its general STAAR counterpart, yet the word usage, sentence structure, vocabulary and content for STAAR Modified has been simplified throughout the grades and courses. When making instructional decisions, educators should align instruction to the information contained within a student s Individualized Education Program (IEP). The STAAR Modified Item Comparison Guide includes the STAAR released items for each grade level and content area with the specific Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) embedded to allow efficient and effective analysis of each item within the context of the TEKS that the item assesses. This Guide is designed to provide teachers a view of academic readiness that is required for each grade level or course to ensure students who receive special education services and instruction in modified content have access to and make progress in the general curriculum at their enrolled grade-level. Also included in the Guide are the Participation Requirements for STAAR Modified. Remember, it is the ARD committee s responsibility at each annual ARD/IEP meeting to determine if the student meets or continues to meet the participation requirement for STAAR Modified. Failing a previous TAKS or STAAR assessment does not automatically qualify the student to take a modified assessment. Education Service Center, Region 20 3

The STAAR Modified assessments are based on the general STAAR blueprints and reflect that the students taking STAAR Modified are assessed on the same grade-level curriculum as general education students. The number of items on the STAAR Modified blueprints has been decreased proportionally by approximately 20% for each reporting category. The STAAR Modified assessments reflect the similar percentages of content and process student expectations as the STAAR assessments.
