Program Goal: To support states in the development of state assessments. |
Objective 1 of 1: By SY 2005-2006, all states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will have rigorous assessments in both reading/language arts and mathematics in grades three through eight and high school and will have rigorous annual assessments for all students in at least one grade per grade span (three through five, six through eight and high school) in science, all on which are aligned with their content specific academic content standards. |
Indicator 1.1 of 6: Annual Assessments: All states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will have rigorous annual assessments for all students in grades three through eight and in high schools in reading/language arts that align with the state's academic content standards. |
Source: Standards and Assessment external peer review process; Title I review processes; staff recommendations; and approval decision by the Secretary Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: September 2006 Explanation: Each state has developed a schedule by which its reading/language arts assessments for grades 3-8 and high school will be developed and field tested, and submitted to the Department for review and approval, prior to implementation. The Department developed the Standards and Assessment External Review process to review and approve the state assessments and conducted its first peer review in early 2005. States are required to have their reading/language arts assessments in place by SY 2005-06. The 2006 performance target of 52 reflects the compliance of the 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. |
Indicator 1.2 of 6: Annual Assessments: All states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will have rigorous annual assessments for all students in grades three through eight and in high schools in mathematics that align with the state's academic content standards. |

Next Data Available: September 2006 Explanation: Each state has developed a schedule by which its science assessments in each grade spans (3-5, 6-8, and high school) will be developed and field tested, and submitted to the Department for review and approval, prior to implementation. The Department developed the Standards and Assessment External Review process to review and approve the state assessments. No state submitted their science assessments for review in 2004 or 2005. States are required to have their science assessments in place by SY 2007-08. The 2008 performance target of 52 reflects the compliance of the 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. |
