STAAR Biology: Assessment Activities for the Texas Readiness Standards
A one-day session
Fee: $279
Audience:
- Teachers
- Instructional specialists and coaches
In this session, teachers, instructional specialists, and coaches will learn an effective strategy for preparing students for the biology end-of-course exam under the STAAR system.
This strategy centers on the Dana Center publication STAAR Biology: Assessment Activities for the Texas Readiness Standards, which contains interactive, hands-on assessment activities that give students the opportunity to review the biology readiness standards that will be tested on the end-of-course exam.
You will have the opportunity to engage in some of the assessment activities, and you will learn tips and techniques for successfully implementing the teaching strategies embedded in STAAR Biology, including an "at-a-glance" strategy for monitoring student progress.
Participants will receive a copy of the book and a DVD with blackline masters.
STAAR Biology: Assessment Activities for the Texas Readiness Standards is available for purchase.
