The consolidation of STAAR, STAAR-A, and STAAR-L into a single testing platform may present some challenges this year. Teachers and administrative staff have required additional mid-year trainings to familiarize them both with the new testing options and with the new accommodations, since these changes immediately affect decisions made during ARD meetings. Those students using an online testing platform will need to be re-trained as the online system has changed. Continued training and support is needed for state-funded programs for teaching math and language arts skills through ThinkThroughMath and Compass Learning. Teachers will benefit
