Interim 101: Purpose

4 of 28

Interim 101: Questions

Exactly like STAAR summative assessment questions (i.e., reviewed and approved by educators, field tested with Texas students, administered using same platform)
Better aligned to TEKS when compared to third-party Interim assessment products
Appropriate for all students (including emergent bilingual students and students receiving special education services)

5 of 28

Interim 101: Test Type

Multi-stage assessment (rather than linear) for Reading and Math
Linear assessment for Science and Social Studies: single form and same items

6 of 28

Interim 101: CRS

Section 1 and 2 of multi-stage adaptive → reported as raw scores and as predicted performance levels
Students who don’t take Section 2 will receive only item-level data in district data file
Aggregate reporting aligned to “meets” performance level and classified as “under target, near target, and above target”:

Under: significantly below, needs additional support
Near: performing near proficiency but not enough to determine above/below
Above: achieving proficiency

7 of 28

Interim 101: CRS

Students can obtain any of the 4 predicted performance levels, regardless of test combination of Section 1 and 2 forms.

8 of 28

Interim 101: CRS

Percentage under target, near target, above target for proficiency within the reporting category
