STAAR Alternate 2 Overview

TEA has developed the STAAR Alternate 2 assessment  to assess students in grades 3–8 and high school who have significant cognitive disabilities and are receiving special education services.  STAAR Alternate 2 administrators are not required to complete training in addition to that required for administrators of all other forms of STAAR.  In this optional training we will discuss:

  • Participation Requirements
  • Allowable Accommodations for STAAR Alternate 2
  • Sample Test Questions
  • Testing Timelines
  • Planning instruction using the Essence Statements, TEKS Curriculum Framework and TEKS Vertical Alignments
This training is designed for first-time testing administrators.  If you successfully administered the STAAR Alternate 2 assessment last year, you may consider reviewing the materials on the STAAR Alternate 2 Resources webpage in lieu of attending this training.  Please view this webpage at http://tea.texas.gov/student.assessment/special-ed/staaralt.
