Ask HISD: Can a teacher be appraised the day before the STAAR test?
2013 October 24
Q: Can a teacher be appraised the day before the STAAR test?
A: According to the 2013-2014 board-approved teacher appraisal calendar, the district restricts formal observations or walkthroughs on any day outside the appraisal period, on the instructional day prior to or during the administration of standardized test (e.g. TAKS or STAAR), and on the last instructional day before or immediately after the Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, or Spring Break.
However, the restriction only applies to those teachers directly involved in the specific testing, and teachers are expected to resume classroom instruction once testing has ended for the day.
