TTAP #2 - January 30th & February 1st

Comfort ISD is participating in Year 2 of the TTAP in order to better prepare our students and staff for the online STAAR success by being able to practice responding to the new STAAR 2.0 questions.  Our teachers are able to use these results to plan for instruction to support student success.

Benefits of the Texas Through-year Assessment Pilot

Participation in TTAP does not eliminate the obligation to administer STAAR. Districts that participate in the through-year pilot during the 2023-24 school year will experience the following benefits:

  • Multiple Testing Opportunities - Students will have three opportunities to demonstrate mastery of TEKS over the course of the school year. TTAP assessments serve as a viable replacement to locally adopted benchmarks and are 100% TEKS aligned. 
  • Timely Student Reports - After each testing opportunity, teachers will receive individualized student reports, which include data such as performance levels, prediction to the STAAR, and in-year growth. These reports can be used in discussions with students and parents to share progress.
  • Flexible Training Options - Teachers will receive training on accessing and interpreting student results to form instructional groups and support classroom instructional decisions. In Year 2, TEA  will continue to offer synchronous and asynchronous training options, along with additional training supplements for optional access.
  • Additional Online Platform and Item Type Exposure - All TTAP progress monitoring opportunities will be administered on the same online platform as STAAR, giving students additional chances to interact with the system’s functionalities. TTAP participants will be also able to interact with different question types that are now used on the redesigned STAAR test.
