This spring marks the final time students take STAAR before the new Student Success Tool (SST) takes the stage. So, we're making this year's Rockin' Review a little different. We're keeping the powerful 10-day review framework you've come to rely on and bringing new strategies that reflect the range of complexity STAAR requires. You'll have better ways to approach the high-impact topics students need to know, with entry points for different learners. In one day, you'll leave with: - A complete 10-day review plan for your content area - The high-impact topics state data tells us are most likely to be tested - Content- and grade-specific strategies ready to use - Multiple ways to review those topics at different levels of complexity - A clear connection to what carries forward to SST Learn more here! lead4ward.com/review-confere… #lead4ward #rockinreview #STAARreview #SSTprep
