STAAR Accessibility Updates for Administrators
This session is designed to help clarify the administrator’s role in guiding teachers as they:
- document the use of instructional supports,
- select and coach students in using instructional supports,
- narrow down supports to only those that students are using effectively and independently, and
- fade appropriate supports to allow their use on STAAR.
Our ULTIMATE goal is to provide each administrator with instructional "look fors" in the classroom along with some coaching tips and resources to ensure each student has the right mix of supports and strategies for success in the classroom as well as the STAAR assessment.
