Are+we+ready+for+the+STAAR?

Today we received training on the new STAAR test and man are we ready for a big change. How are we going to convince teachers to change what they have been taught and the procedures they use to teach what is necessary for the new test. Can you all share with me what you are doing to prepare for the new test in your world?

In our district we set up a TAKS to STARR transition team. We have met three times and as TAKS finishes we plan on meeting more often. We will revise and change our curriculum during summer months to provide teachers with the appropriate curriculum to challenge our students and prepare them for the STARR test. Most import thing; Remain calm,work smart and work together as a team. Carlos
