• STAAR Redesign - Summative Tests Redesign Overview

    The STAAR redesign is a result of House Bill (HB) 3906 passed by the 86th Texas Legislature in 2019.  The Texas Education Agency (TEA), working with a wide range of education stakeholders, including the Assessment Education Advisory Committee, has been exploring the most instructionally supportive approach to implementing these changes.  The redesign will be implemented in the state summative assessments (STAAR) administered in the 2022-2023 school year. 

    The STAAR redesign includes several components:

    Online Testing and Accommodations

    New Question Types

    Cross-curricular Passages

    Evidence-based Writing
