Texas public schools do more than prep for a single test. From dual-language programs to career training and fine arts—our schools support the whole child. So why are we judging them by a single high-stakes test?
It’s time to #MeasureWhatMattersTX and rethink how we assess and support our schools.
Studies indicate children who attend pre-K are less likely to need special education services or be held back a grade in their later school years. Investing early in Pre-K helps prevent future interventions—prevention is smarter and more cost-effective than playing catch-up.
In our latest episode of Intersect Ed we discuss what the special session item “eliminating the STAAR test” could mean for Texas, along with the differences between criterion-referenced tests and nationally norm-referenced tests. Take a listen to our Q&A with Host Morgan Smith and Raise Your Hand Texas’ Dean of Advocacy Amy Dodson.
