What is TFAR?
What is TFAR?
The Texas Formative Assessment Resource (TFAR) is a free online platform that helps educators design, give, and share formative assessments. Formative assessment data is used to inform teaching decisions and improve instructional support. It runs assessments through Cambium - the same platform we use for STAAR and TELPAS testing. It allows students to practice on this assessment platform with their accommodations prior to the offical State Assessments.
