Istation PM Spring: STAAR Connections


Texas Education Agency (TEA) has made online resources available to Texas public schools and open enrollment charter schools through the TexasSUCCESS initiative. 

TexasSUCCESS includes scientifically validated and research-based online programs to target the prevention of academic failure in mathematics and reading in the following service categories:

  • Reading Grades 6–8 (Compass Learning)
  • English I & II (Apex Learning)

Representatives from each of the 4 companies will provide training for district staff to facilitate effective implementation of these resources into instruction.

These training sessions will be BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). A limited number of laptops will be available for participants who do not have a device to bring.

Istation trainer of trainers (TOT) will provide participants access to our comprehensive eLearning program used by more than four million students and educators around the world. Known for its accurate assessments, engaging curriculum, and trusted teacher tools, Istation helps students achieve academic growth.
