Exporting STAAR Preliminary Data Files From Cambium

Users can export STAAR preliminary data files from Cambium and upload them in Aware for data analysis. By reviewing the data in a preliminary file, district data viewers, principals, and teachers can see student performance levels and scale scores to determine next action steps for a student, such as if they need to take summer school or a remedial course.
