STAAR
The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, commonly referred to as its acronym STAAR, are a series of state-mandated standardized tests used in Texas public primary and secondary schools to assess a student's achievements and knowledge learned in the grade level. The goal is to ensure that all students receive what they need to be academically successful. STAAR tests curriculum taught from the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, which is taught by public schools.
TELPAS
TEA designed the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) and TELPAS Alternate to assess the progress that Emergent Bilingual (EB) students, also referred to as English learners (ELs), make in learning the English language.
