STAAR INTERIM ASSESSMENTS SUPPORT RESOURCES

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has created optional online interim assessments that align to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills TEKS). Test questions for the STAAR Interim Assessments are developed with Texas teachers and include some former STAAR items. These assessments will be available at no cost to our district and are not tied to accountability.
STAAR Interim Assessments will continue for the 2022–2023 school year and will be hosted on Cambium's assessment platform.2022-23 School Year TEA Interim Assessment Administration
