TEA is implementing a number of changes that should serve to test knowledge and skills in a deeper way.

• Tests will contain a greater number of items that have a higher cognitive complexity level.

• Items will be developed to more closely match the cognitive complexity level evident in the TEKS.

• In science, process skills will be assessed in context, not in isolation, which will allow for a more integrated and authentic assessment of these content area.

• In science, the number of open-ended (griddable) items will increase to allow students more opportunity to derive an answer independently.
