IPT - Grade 4 Math

This tool is designed to support teachers in instructional planning, by providing a means to process the sampling of assessed standards on the released STAAR items. Using this process, educators will:  review historical assessment data;  read and solve sample STAAR items;  analyze assessment prompts in order to consider the multiple steps required to generate a response;  anticipate varying approaches and steps students might take; and  reflect on his or her current classroom instruction. The goal of this tool is to guide effective planning, including probing questions, and monitoring of student progress, which support student success. The Instructional Planning Tool is organized by the learning standards assessed on STAAR. Each standard is labeled as Readiness, Supporting, or Process.
