Question 1

Under STAR testing guidelines, what is the recommended maximum group size for a single proctor administering the assessment?

Accepted Answer

30 students or the standard class size

Renaissance recommends using a standard class size with one proctor, as the computer-based format reduces the need for small-group administration.

Question 2

What is the purpose of the 'Instructional Reading Level' (IRL) provided by STAR Reading?

Accepted Answer

To identify the text difficulty level where the student reads with support

Answer

The IRL indicates the level at which a student can read with teacher guidance, useful for instructional planning and text selection.

Accepted Answer
