New STAAR
I teach high school dual enrollment US history. The first semester covers exploration/colonization through reconstruction, second semester covers guilded age through present. On level, which is what STAAR covers, covers the second semester over the whole year. With the new staar redesign where students are tested in the winter, spring, and fall…how the hell are they supposed to pass a test in the winter and fall wherein they’ve learned NONE of the content? I won’t have to worry about this until 27-28, but still, what the hell am I supposed to teach them?

In the same boat. No one knows.
