FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STAAR Test Maker features thousands of STAAR-specific test questions packaged in budget-friendly, easy-to-use progress monitoring software
Nov. 17, 2011 — Progress Testing announced today that it is now shipping STAAR Test Maker, its latest progress monitoring software tool for Texas schools and districts. STAAR Test Maker is packed with thousands of brand new, STAAR-aligned test questions that measure all of the new STAAR Readiness and Supporting Standards. Test Items are also correlated to the latest Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS).
STAAR Test Maker is designed with the teacher in mind, allowing educators to create and print aligned STAAR tests in minutes. Once they administer the tests, teachers can then gather data from the results using STAAR Test Maker’s built in Progress Reporter. With the Progress Reporter, teachers and schools can generate colorful, data-driven reports to accurately assess student progress and pinpoint remediation needs.
In addition to being the most powerful STAAR progress monitor available, STAAR Test Maker is also the most affordable. Budget-conscious schools and districts can save thousands of dollars in software costs. STAAR Test Maker is available to schools as an unlimited site license, meaning that once they buy it, they own it forever. There are no subscription costs or hidden fees, and schools can install STAAR Test Maker on as many computers as they wish.
The cornerstone of STAAR Test Maker is its test item bank, containing thousands of aligned, data-driven questions for all STAAR-tested subjects. For months, Progress Testing’s team of experienced assessment writers and editors have developed and refined its test questions specifically for the STAAR exam. Test items are based on published samples and guidelines from the Texas Education Agency, so teachers can be sure they are getting reliable and valid test questions for their students.
STAAR Test Maker is available in three editions for Texas schools, with the Elementary School Edition shipping today, and other editions rolling out during the next few weeks:
• Elementary School Edition: Includes Grades 3, 4, and 5 Reading, Math, and Writing, and Grade 5 Science.
