The Texas Education Agency (TEA) will fund an 8th- and 10th-grade assessment and one college admission exam in 11th or 12th grade.
The TEA recently signed a contract with the College Board, approving the College Readiness Pathway — an integrated series of three assessments — as part of a statewide initiative to increase college and career readiness.
The assessments include:
- The First Step: ReadiStep™ (8th Grade)
- The Intermediate Step: PSAT/NMSQT® (10th-11th Grades)
- The Final Step: SAT® (11th-12th Grades)
Aligned to federal and Texas state standards, the tests provide a critical framework that enables educators to measure, monitor and direct student progress from middle school through high school … to college and career readiness.
Texas educators: We welcome you to join a brief webinar to learn more about the
College Readiness Pathway and how it can be successfully implemented in your district.
