TIA Data Measures

Pre and Post Tests

Examples: 

• STAAR

• NWEA MAP

• Released STAAR

• District-Created Tests

• Circle

• TPRI

• Commonly Used Assessment List 

Value Added Measures (VAM)

*Must have student's historical testing data available. 

• STAAR and NWEA MAP align with VAM.

• Requires a statistical analysis of historical data.

Student Learning Objectives (SLOs)

Growth is determined by looking at the student's body of work, as opposed to a test. 

• Districts must use the Texas SLO Model.

• Could be a great option for non-tested subjects. 

Portfolios

Best for classes where skills are assessed rather than content knowledge. 

• Teacher/admin created rubrics.

• Multiple artifacts collected over the year.
