Pupil assessment.

Bill Subjects

Pupil Assessment.

Abstract

Existing law, the Leroy Greene California Assessment of Academic Achievement Act (Greene Act) , requires each school district, charter school, and county office of education to administer to each of its pupils in grades 2 to 11, inclusive, certain achievement tests. This bill, commencing July 1, 2012, would exclude pupils in grade 2 from the standards-based achievement test requirement and make conforming changes. The bill would require the State Department of Education by November 1, 2012, to identify and make available to school districts information regarding existing assessments in language arts and mathematics for pupils in grade 2 for diagnostic use by classroom teachers. The bill would require these provisions to be implemented from the savings realized from the elimination of the grade 2 standards-based achievement testing. The bill would define, for purposes of the Greene Act, formative assessment, high-quality assessment, and interim assessment.
