Who is responsible for reviewing District TAKS Prep papers that are given to our school to ensure that the correct answers are with the problem?
There are no RISD “District” TAKS Prep papers per se. We do employ benchmarks that are developed at the district level. They are prepared to assess the TEKS being taught that six weeks, unless they are a simulation. Each benchmark is written by the subject area director, cluster specialists, and curriculum department. They are proofed numerous times, however, mistakes are still possible. There have even been instances of mistakes on the actual TAKS in past years. District simulations mirror the TAKS in length and complexity of questions, so teachers can gauge where a student is in terms of readiness.
