One of the current buzzwords in use in the state of California and across the nation is multiple measures. But what does this phrase really mean for students, teachers, schools, and districts? Quite simply by multiple measures we mean the use of a variety of assessment formats that allow educators to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their students so that the curriculum can be adjusted to meet the needs of those students.

The 2008 California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program test results for schools, counties, districts, and the state are available at this site. Test results are reported for the six components of the STAR Program:

The California Standards Tests (CSTs) are designed to match the state's rigorous academic content standards for each grade. Grades 2 through 8 tests cover mathematics and English/language arts (which includes writing in grades 4 and 7). Grades 9 through 11 cover English/language arts, mathematics, and science. History-social science tests are added for grades 8, 10 and 11 as well as science for grade 5. Except for writing, the questions are multiple-choice.

The state's public school students improved in reading, writing and mathematics this year, marking five years of near-steady growth on the tough California Standards Test, results released Thursday show.

A record number of students took the college admissions test, of which 40% were minorities. In California, 5% more students than last year took the SAT.

The JFTK Best Practice Framework features three primary components: Organizing Themes, Organizational Levels, and School System Practices. The Framework rests on the state standards as a basis for teaching and learning.
