Summative Assessments Mandatory comprehensive assessment in grades 3
– 8 and 11 that supports accountability and measures growth
Assesses the full range of CCSS in English language arts and mathematics
Unless state law is changed, the CAHSEE will remain a graduation requirement.
All other assessments (i.e. 2nd grade testing, end of course exams) would need to be developed and paid for by the state.

Item Types• Selected-response• Constructed-responseo Complex thinking skills, comparison and contrast, cause and
effect, patterns, conflicting points of view, categorizing, summarizing, interpreting information
• Extended constructed-responseo Assess knowledge and skills not easily accessed with selected
response or constructed response (e.g. extended written response)• Performance Eventso Each performance task could take place across more than one
sitting of 45-60 minutes each• Technology-enhancedo Requires productive use of technology
