The California Assessment of Student
Performance and Progress
|
The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, or CAASPP is the new state academic test program, which replaces the former Standardized Testing and Reporting or STAR. This assessment system includes computer adaptive tests in English-language arts and mathematics as well as paper-based tests for science. We are looking forward to the information from these tests which can be used to monitor students' progress and ensure that all students leave high school ready for college and career. The assessment will also provide an academic checkup by measuring real-world skills like critical thinking and problem solving.
For our school, students in 10th and 11th Grade will take the test April 25th through April 29th. The assessment will be administered over multiple days. Following this administration, students will receive individual score reports. Student score reports will be sent home to parents and will include an overall score, a description of the student's achievement level for English language arts and mathematics, and other information. To learn about the types of questions on the computer-based test, you and your child can view the practice test online at the California Department of Education (CDE) Smarter Balanced Practice Test Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/practicetest.asp.
La Evaluación de Desempeño y Progreso Estudiantil de California (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress), o CAASPP, es un nuevo programa de examen académico estatal, que sustituye al antiguo Reporte y Examen Estandarizado (Standardized Testing and Reporting), o STAR. Este nuevo sistema evaluatorio incluye exámenes adaptados a computadora para Artes del idioma inglés y Matemáticas, así como exámenes en papel para Ciencias. Estamos esperando la información sobre estos exámenes que pueden usarse para monitorear el progreso de los alumnos y asegurar que todos ellos salgan de high school listos para entrar al college y para hacer una carrera. La evaluación también va a proveer una revisión académica midiendo habilidades para el mundo real, como el pensamiento crítico y la resolución de problemas.
Para nuestras escuelas, los alumnos en 10th y 11th grado tomarán el examen April 20th ,21st ,22nd. La evaluación va a ser administrada en varios días. Después de esto, los alumnos recibirán los reportes de sus marcas individuales.

Para saber sobre el tipo de preguntas del examen en computadora, usted y su hijo o hija puede ver el examen de práctica en línea en la página web del examen en California Department of Education (CDE) Smarter Balanced Practice Testen http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/practicetest.asp
