Key Features of the 2024–2025 Calendar of Events
Trainings should be completed by the recommended dates, but additional trainings may occur after the recommended dates if necessary. Regional testing coordinator training is provided by TEA and offered on one date only.
Specific due dates are listed by administration for ensuring that all eligible students are registered in TIDE. The number of test administrator manuals included in a district’s initial order will be based on the number of students registered in TIDE by the due date indicated.
Initial orders of secure paper materials for TELPAS reading will be based on the number of students indicated for a special paper administration in TIDE by the due date listed.
Submission deadlines for Accommodation Request Forms have been added for STAAR and TELPAS.
The testing windows for the STAAR spring administration are defined by content-area grouping; however, most of the pre-administration activities are scheduled together, and all post-administration activities are scheduled together. Although there are three separate testing windows based on content-area grouping, these testing windows are considered one administration.
Specific due dates for district personnel to enter or adjust score code information in TIDE to ensure all eligible students have been accounted for are listed for each testing window. Students not accounted for by the due dates will not be included in accountability reports.
Specific due dates for district personnel to submit student responses for paper administrations and ratings for holistic administrations have been added for each testing window. Responses and ratings not processed by the due date will not be scored.
There is only one data correction window for all TELPAS rescore requests this school year.
Results are reported in three phases: early, preliminary, and final. Early results may be used by district personnel for making student-level decisions. Preliminary results for accountability are available before data corrections, and final results for accountability are available after data corrections.
