STAAR Interim Assessments are optional, online assessments that align to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and help educators monitor student progress and predict performance on STAAR.

Each year the TEA invites groups of Texas educators to provide feedback on the development of state assessments (STAAR, STAAR Alternate 2, and TELPAS) through educator committees across all assessed grades and content areas. Developing high-quality, aligned questions relies on the expertise and experience of Texas educators. Participants collaborate with other educators from across the state to review and approve each potential question for state assessments. TEA is currently accepting applications from all districts to participate in item review committees in all subjects and grade levels.

If you know of any educators (including yourself!) who might be interested in participating in these review meetings, please encourage them to apply using the following link - Texas Educator Committee Application. Meetings are typically held during the spring and summer. If selected, an invite will be sent with all the logistical information.

The commitment is generally two to three days in Austin with all travel, accommodations, and substitute coverage paid for by TEA. All participants will earn Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

We are thrilled to announce that the ESL Supplemental Preparation courses are now live on TEALearn! This is a series of four courses that cover Domains I, II, and III as well as a practice exam. The courses have a new look and updated guidance reflecting the implementation of Content-Based Language Instruction (CBLI) practices and changes within Chapter 89 of the Texas Administrative Code.

As part of a coordinated effort to increase the number of ESL certified educators across the state of Texas, these courses are free for all educators and available to complete at your own pace.

We encourage you to share this information with your colleagues interested in gaining their ESL certification.

Visit our TXEL ESL Certification page to access the updated #154 ESL Supplemental Manual and direct links to the TEALearn courses.

Journal articles are now FREE to the public! Access the current 34 publications here. For many years as a membership benefit, the journal was posted on the NCSM members-only website, where each member could log-in and access every edition of the journal.

NCSM’s mission is to equip and empower a diverse education community to engage in leadership that supports, sustains, and inspires high quality mathematics teaching and learning every day for each and every learner

JMEL (Journal of Mathematics Education Leadership) has been and will continue to be an amazing resource for the members of NCSM. Article topics include:

• empirical case studies and lessons learned from mathematics education leadership in schools, districts, states, regions, or provinces;
• empirical research reports with implications for mathematics education leaders;
• professional development efforts including how these efforts are situated in the larger context of professional development and implications for leadership practice; and
• program descriptions of leadership focused implementation of core practices.

RapidTables is great reference resource for teachers and students to use for mathematical symbols.
