California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)

  • Testing Letter 2023-2024 School Year

    Under the new state testing program called California Assessment for Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP), 3rd through 8th grade Cajon Valley students will be participating this year in the Smarter Balanced Assessments in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. In addition, our 5th and 8th grade students will be participating in the California Science Tests (CASTs).

    Smarter Balanced online assessments: These Common Core Standards-aligned tests have replaced our former state tests for English Language Arts and Mathematics. They are designed to provide educators, students and parents with more meaningful and relevant information about student academic growth and progress.

    1. They are computer based:

    • some questions are interactive
    • great variety of supporting tools

    2. They are computer adaptive:

    • test questions are designed to help pinpoint what students know and can do
    • correct answers are followed by more difficult question; incorrect answers are followed by an easier question
    • provide a more precise estimate of student understanding

    3. They present tasks in a realistic context

    Additional resources and information may also be found at the following links:

    These newly-revised Parent Guides from the California Department of Education provide information about the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments, including sample test items for English language arts/literacy and mathematics. This information is provided to help you better understand your children’s test results.

    A  shares some of the basic ideas about the new state testing program and how it is a part of the new educational landscape at Cajon Valley USD.

    Fact sheets, questions and answers, and resources for parents may be found at the the  webpage.

    The  () describes how these new tests based on the Common Core State Standards can help prepare students for college and the workplace.

    Smarter Balanced has prepared a factsheet that provides information about how a computer adaptive test is designed: 

    Informational handouts about the Common Core Standards and what they mean for education and California students can be found in multiple languages at this .

    This  provides a list of resources that have been compiled for parents interested in learning more about the Common Core State Standards and how to support their child's attainment of these standards.

    Beginning this year, students and families will receive redesigned Student Score Reports (SSRs) for the CAASPP and ELPAC summative assessments. Redesigned SSRs for the Initial ELPAC and the Initial Alternate ELPAC will be available for the 2024–25 school year.

    Sample SSRs can be viewed on the web page and the web page. The newly redesigned SSRs include improved results comparisons, links to resources, and more detailed English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics results information, including Lexile® and Quantile® measures. For more detail, view the (DOCX) and the .

    Combined CAASPP SSRs

    With the redesigned SSRs, ELA, mathematics, and science results are all combined into a single PDF SSR for both the general and alternate assessments. SSRs will be made available once all applicable CAASPP assessment results are available for the student.

    A partir de este año, los estudiantes y las familias recibirán los INFORMES DE PUNTAJE DEL ESTUDIANTE (SSR, siglas en inglés) rediseñados para las evaluaciones sumativas de CAASPP y ELPAC. Los SSR rediseñados para el ELPAC Inicial y el ELPAC Inicial Alternativo estarán disponibles para el año escolar 2024-25.

    Pueden ver el informe modelo del SSR en la página web y en la página web de . Los SSR recién rediseñados incluyen comparaciones de resultados mejoradas, enlaces a recursos y información más detallada sobre los resultados de la lengua y literatura en inglés/lectoescritura (ELA) y matemáticas, incluyendo las medidas de Lexile® y Quantile®. Para más detalles, consulte el (DOCX) y el

     

    Informe compuesto de puntaje del sistema de exámenes de rendimiento de California (CAASPP SSR, por sus siglas en inglés)

    En los SSR rediseñados, los resultados de ELA, matemáticas y ciencias se combinan en un solo PDF SSR tanto para las evaluaciones generales como para las alternativas. Los SSR estarán disponibles una vez que todos los resultados aplicables de las evaluaciones de CAASPP estén disponibles para el estudiante.
