Math Is Not Enough: Negotiation of
Thought for Rigor
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
This session highlights a Stage 4 school’s journey to
meeting the rigors of STAAR and increasing Level
III performance by emphasizing thought processes
required to answer dual-coded items. STAAR blueprints
will be used to determine relevance and specific
strategies using question stems and visualization, and
positive presuppositions will be described. This session
is appropriate for stakeholders interested in increasing
instructional rigor and helping all students achieve Level
II performance standards and more students achieve
Level III performance standards.
