The Texas Formative Assessment Resource (TFAR) is a free online platform that allows teachers to create and give formative assessments to their students. I found out about this platform mid-way through the year and started using it immediately. The main reason why I loved using this platform so much was that you can see the increase in students' confidence using the STAAR platform.
Students have been taking their assessments in Eduphoria for most of their educational journey and I think we can agree that it differs from the actual STAAR platform. Students were able to practice finding their tools and resources on the platform before testing day.
- Go to https://www.texasassessment.gov/educators.html and scroll down and click on the “Texas Formative Assessment Resource” link.
- When creating a new test, you can either create your own question from a template or use the TEA item bank. Here’s an example of an “Equation Editor” question that I created. Be forewarned, it does take quite a bit of time to figure out how to create new questions but you will get faster with time!
Click on “TA - Test Administration for Interim and Operational Testing” once you are ready to administer the “test”.
Students will sign in through the Secure Test once you have received the “Session ID”. I spent quite a time at the beginning of the school year creating Student TSDS ID cards. I create laminated notebook cards that have students' names and their TSDS ID. I treat this as a “secure test material” and collect after students sign in.
I use “Google Slides TFAR Instructions” the first couple of times students complete a TFAR assessment. After a couple of times, students know the drill and I just have to post the session ID on the board.
Click on “CRS - Centralized Reporting System” to review the results.
The only thing that students get frustrated with, is that the Desmos calculator does not shrink and move around like it does on the actual STAAR test day. Maybe this is just an error on my end though?
If you made it to the end, thank you for reading! I wanted to make any Texas educators aware of additional resources that they can use to improve student achievement! :)

ReplyDeleteThe point about the Desmos calculator interface issues is so relatable! UX design really impacts student confidence. Just as teachers need intuitive tools, businesses rely on seamless digital platforms, often seeking a web design company astoria to ensure everything functions perfectly for their users.
ReplyDeleteEu não me esqueci, quando eu estava fazendo analítica experimental 1, que você falou que você queria ser professora universitária, então eu te enviei um vídeo te ensinando como se faz para ser professora universitária, só para te ajudar.
ReplyDeleteDepois de algumas semanas. Teve uma vez que eu peguei um resfriado super forte, eu cheguei a ficar com febre. Então você viu que iria ficar reprovada em analítica 1 teórica, já que a gente pegamos a pior professora do instituto de química da UFRJ. Como você não podia descontar a sua raiva em cima da professora. Você resolveu descontar a sua frustração em mim, que estava doente.
Então a Gabriela Santana Andrade mandou a amiga dela do curso de pedagogia chamada Ana Beatriz Procession Guimarães entrar no grupo de analítica 1 teórica se passando por uma tal de Simone. Então você, a Simone e a Gabriela ficaram me humilhando por causa de iniciação científica naquele dia, a Gabriela ainda falou que o pai dela era policial, que o pai dela iria à minha casa para me levar para a cadeia. A Ana Beatriz Procession Guimarães nem fazia farmácia e foi arrumar confusão no curso dos outros. Se ela tivesse um trabalhinho, ela não ficaria praticando linchamento virtual nos grupos do Whatsapp do curso de farmácia da UFRJ.
Eu estava doente naquele dia que aconteceu isso. O que vocês fizeram comigo não se faz nem com um bicho. Eu nunca pensei que o ser humano chegaria a esse ponto, de se aproveitar de um momento de fragilidade minha para ficar me humilhando por causa de iniciação científica. A Gabriela ainda ficou compartilhando um áudio com os amigos dela da atlética de farmácia de eu tossindo e gritando que eu estava doente Gabriela.
Você não esperou nem o semestre acabar para se voltar contra mim. Você cuspiu no prato que você comeu. Me desculpa por ter te mandado aquele vídeo ensinando como se faz para se tornar professora universitária só para te ajudar. Eu já deveria saber que você não presta.
Você ainda fica agindo como se não tivesse feito nada de errado. Eu acho que ser psicopata é pré-requisito para se fazer iniciação científica. O pessoal do FitoFar não deve saber que você é de verdade para deixarem você fazer iniciação científica com bolsa e ainda publicar dois artigos científicos.
Eu sei tudo sobre você, eu achei o seu perfil no Instagram e no Linkedin:
https://www.instagram.com/p/C-q8YN5uQDP/
https://br.linkedin.com/in/ana-beatriz-lima-998a1779
Mas também você é amiga do Jakson Barros Bonfim. O Jakson pagou outra pessoa para fazer a prova online de orgânica 1 da Lages. O Jakson abriu a empresa Bonfs Home Center com o dinheiro da bolsa de IC, dinheiro esse que ele conseguiu graças à cola. O professor substituto chamado Luis Phillipe Nagem Lopes é o orientador de Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (TCC) do Jakson Barros Bonfim. O título do TCC do Jakson Barros Bonfim é Sistematização de casos clínicos do HUCFF e desenvolvimento de website como ferramenta pedagógica: um relato de experiência.
Você também é amiga da Jéssica Mel da Silva Faria, A Jéssica ficou me humilhando em analítica 1 por causa de iniciação científica, quando eu perguntei a ela, porque ninguém estava me defendendo da humilhação, ela falou que eu estava no fundão e que a faculdade de direito ficava lá no centro, ou seja, como ela fazia farmácia e não direito, ela não precisava me defender da humilhação. O orientador de TCC da Jessica Mel da Silva Faria também é o Luis Phillipe Nagem Lopes e o título do Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso dela é Desenvolvimento de um ebook para orientação da equipe de enfermagem sobre administração de medicamentos de alta vigilância em UTI neonatal/pediátrica: relato de experiência.
Pode mandar o pai policial da Gabriela aparecer aqui em casa. Manda ele fazer isso depois de buscar o arrego do traficante na boca de fumo, que fica na parte de cima da minha rua. Em frente a minha casa funciona um ferro velho clandestino, que fornece material furtado para os traficantes construírem barricadas.
