Advantages:
• ELAR, SLAR, Math, & Social
Studies have all 10-11
Components available,
including Assessments and
Exemplar Lessons
Disadvantages:
• None of the components will identify R & S Standards, so teachers will not be encouraged to focus
on R & S Standards for STAAR
• YAGs, TEKS Verification, and Lessons may have R & S Standards still in the 6th six weeks units, which
means they might be taught AFTER the STAAR/EOC assessments have already occurred
• IFDs will not emphasize the R & S in their bundling of TEKS or the Performance Indicators
• Assessments will not focus on the R & S Standards
• Science has no lessons or assessments
Social Studies/History:
• Using the 10-11 components will be using OUT OF DATE TEKS!
Solution:
DO NOT CHOOSE OPTION #2!
