What is Mathematics STAAR
®
Workstations Volume 4?

STAAR
®
Redesign Technology Enhanced Item

Each workstation includes at least one STAAR
®
-type assessment item. When appropriate, the item is
written to mirror STAAR
®
Redesign Technology Enhanced Item (TEI) types.

Answer Keys

Answer keys are included with each workstation. The answer keys may be used in one of the
following ways:

• Place the answer key on the back cover of the folder under a flap for students to self-check
as they complete the workstation. • Place the answer key inside the folder in a pocket or under a flap for students to self-check as
they complete the workstation. • Plan for students to visit a solution station with a labeled answer key for each workstation.

Debriefing and Providing Feedback

Depending on how the folders are used, the teacher may choose a variety of strategies to provide
feedback:

• Use Content Objective, Language Objective, and practice assessment items to debrief the
workstation. Students who are unable to accurately answer these questions following the
completion of the workstation’s activity may need additional support. • Students complete each workstation and use the answer key or visit the solution station to
check their answers. Students should note any questions about a concept or skill so that their
questions can be addressed by their teacher. • Other tools, such as sticky notes, may be used to collect student responses to a specific part
of the task, responses from student discourse, or assessment responses, for ease of sorting
and making future instructional decisions.
