Questions+Regarding+STAR+Math+and+Rave-O

Our elementary school is having some conversations regarding assessments. Specifically, they are looking at progress monitoring tools that they might try to use starting next year. They have asked for some suggestions from the field for the three questions listed below. I know that this is a crazy time and sincerely appreciate any advise that I can forward to our elementary staff. Steve

STAR Math: How well do you think STAR math correlates to state standards? Do you see any concerns in terms of their correlation to the Common Core Standards?

If you are currently using STAR math, do you believe that it is a good assessment tool? If you have discontinued the use of STAR math recently, why?

RAVE-O

Is anyone using RAVE-O for Tier II and III students and if so how well is it working?
