HB 56 significantly revises Texas public school assessments, shifting toward an "instructionally supportive" model. It imposes constraints on test length and design, emphasizes adaptive and diagnostic testing, and limits multiple-choice items. It introduces new scheduling rules and readability standards, and restricts standardized testing to federal minimums. It also adjusts graduation and bilingual education assessment criteria.
