ARD Committee Resources for the Texas Assessment Program
Student Assessment Home | Assessment A–Z Directory | Contact Student Assessment | Printing PDFs
Admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee members should use the important resources below to guide decisions about a student’s participation in the Texas Assessment Program, which includes the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR™), the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS), and the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). Decisions should be based upon the student’s educational need(s) and how he or she accesses the state-mandated curriculum, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), as documented in each student’s individualized education program (IEP).
ARD committee resources on this webpage are subject to updates and revisions. The date shown on each document will indicate when the document was last revised.
STAAR and TELPAS
The information in this section applies to students who will take STAAR, STAAR Modified, STAAR Alternate, STAAR L, and TELPAS.
As a result of the transition to the new STAAR program in the 2011–2012 school year, TAKS for grades 3–9 will no longer be administered. Information in this section applies only to students taking grade 10 and exit level TAKS or TAKS (Accommodated), grades 10 and 11 TAKS–Modified, and grade 10 LAT in 2011–2012.
