The Mini-Assessments can be utilized at any time after instruction has occurred for the TEKS addressed in the assessment.
2 Allow approximately 20 minutes for completion of each Mini-Assessment (the amount of time mayvary for some assessments). No assistance should be given during this time except as allowed onSTAAR for GRADE 3. The Mini-Assessments should be completed by individual students, graded by the teacher andperformance discussed by the teacherwith individual ASSESSMENTSThe Periodic Assessments were created with all students in mind and provide teachers with a 20-questionassessmenttool to periodically assess assessments should not beutilized until after all instruction has been completed for all TEKS addressed in the assessment. The Periodic Assessments can be utilized at any time after instruction has occurred for all TEKS addressed in the assessment.
3 Allow approximately40 minutes for completion of each PeriodicAssessment (the amount of timemay vary for some assessments). No assistance should be given during this time except asallowed on STAAR for GRADE 3. The Periodic Assessments should be completed by individual students, graded by the teacher andperformance discussed by the teacher with individual keyis provided for the Mini-Assessmentsand Periodic Assessments. Teachers shouldconsider creation of a personalized Solutions Manual to become more familiar with theRevised TEKSand assessment of the Revised TEKS, as well as to formulate various solution strategies for are encouraged to communicate with the author regarding discussion of anyquestion in this document.
