Research and Evaluation
February 2016
What should I be doing for CAASPP in February?
Site Coordinators: In conjunction with school Psychologists and Case Managers, Coordinators should be verifying that the test settings in TOMS are in agreement with IEP and 504 documentation. Please contact Dan Winters, Director of Research and Evaluation if any changes are necessary.
Teachers and Students: You should be exploring the Interim Assessments as well as the Practice and Training Tests. These will help you gain familiarity with the tools and expectations of the SBAC summative assessment.
