All About STAAR

TEA has gathered important resources for the STAAR and EOC assessments. Please visit TEA’s STAAR webpage for comprehensive information about these new formats.

Your district may use the same DATE plan that it has now, during the 2010-2011 school year. However, if your district would like to make any changes to its current plan, or would like to create a completely new DATE plan, then you may also re-design your program and fill out the Year 2 application with new program information.

Please don't hesitate to contact technical assistance with any questions or concerns or to assist with program design questions and to review your grant application. We are here to assist with this process so please feel free to contact us!

New Contact Information and New Website!

Technical Assistance has moved from The University of Texas System to The University of Texas-Austin. The change will mean nothing to districts except for our new contact information. The Technical Assistance general line is now: (512) 232-2255 and our email is txeducatorawards@ipsi.utexas.edu. We've taken this time to reorganize and redesign our website to make it a much easier-to-use resource for districts.
