There are some CASAS Consortium states that are pilot testing the CASAS Content Standards.  Iowa was one of the early adopter states in pilot testing the reading content standards.  Jim will be doing an Iowa based work shop on the math content standards in April 2007.

ContentStandards Project


We have over 50 new subscribers to the list- so welcome to you all.
Hopefully to get us started as I know it's not fun to be the first
poster! - I have some of my own questions for the CASAS team with us for
this week's discussion.

In addition to the content standards for CA, NY, MA, AZ, MD, and FL that
you mention reviewing as part of this project, can you tell us what
other state and National adult education content standards were
reviewed?  Are the Consortium partners planning to adopt a common set of
content standards?  Based on the outcomes of this project, will the
CASAS assessments need to be updated or modified?

Thks,
Aaron
