The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) test is being redesigned to make the test more tightly aligned to the classroom experience.

More than 600 educators and 200 students have provided input to ensure STAAR better reflects the classroom experience. Ninety-two percent of educated who reviewed the STAAR redesign said the new types of questions will allow students to better demonstrate their knowledge. The redesign will be implemented in the state summative assessments 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
