The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)
uses the Smarter Balanced suite of summative assessments in English
Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics to provide annual measures of what
students know and can do in relation to the Common Core State Standards
for ELA and mathematics. These measures provide information about how
much students have improved in ELA or math from the previous year and
help identify gaps in knowledge or skills so students get the support
they need for success in higher grades and become ready for college or a
career. Visit the
California Department of Education’s Smarter Balanced Assessment System
web page for more information.
