Early Indicator Reports – Provided by TEA as a “best current
projection of future performance”
TAAS Summary Sheets, Item Analysis, and Released Tests,
provided by TEA, but viewed through “new eyes”

Although the curriculum tested is still the
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, the
objectives for testing will change
All indications are that the format of the test
will change significantly in some areas
Writing will be tested at 7th grade instead of
8th
Science will not be tested at 8th grade
