Board approves Renaissance STAR contract for assessments in grades 2—612
Summary
The district approved a contract to adopt Renaissance STAR assessments for grades 2—612; STAR will be administered three times a year and takes about 25—630 minutes per administration. Trustees requested that staff develop protocols for sharing data with families and the board.
Trustees approved a contract to adopt Renaissance STAR assessments across grades 2 through 12.
Ariel Delowich told the board the assessments will be administered three times per year (initial windows in August, a winter administration and a March administration) and estimated each assessment would take "25 to 30 minutes." Trustees asked staff to develop a plan for how results will be shared with families and reported to the board; the presenter and other staff said they would consult teachers and return with recommended protocols. The motion to approve the contract passed on a roll-call vote of 4—6.
Board discussion also asked staff to include STAR results in annual assessment presentations where feasible, and to compare STAR outcomes with previously used benchmark tools to help trustees interpret trends.
