SB 5414: Assessments and curricula

Regarding statewide assessments and curricula.

Summary

  • Articulates legislative intent about the principles, components, and design of the statewide student assessment system, and directs the Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) and the State Board of Education (SBE) to begin redesigning the system accordingly.
  • Directs the SPI to revisit other aspects of the assessment system and report back by December 1, 2009, and requires the SPI, in consultation with the SBE, to develop an implementation plan and examine various issues regarding mathematics and science and report back by December 1, 2009.
  • Amends the statutory timelines for implementation of the new end-of-course assessments for the high school mathematics assessment and revises the timelines for review and recommendations regarding science curricula.
  • Replaces two series of end-of-course assessments in mathematics with one series: a first-year mathematics assessment covering Algebra I and Integrated Mathematics I and a second-year mathematics assessment covering Geometry and Integrated Mathematics II.
  • Directs the SPI also to develop subtests for mathematics that measure standards unique to the four courses, whose results are reported but which are not required for graduation purposes.
