[IAEP] California Curriculum Standards and Sample Questions

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi All,


It might be useful to developers and others if we had some idea of current curriculum standards for the various grades and subject areas so that Activities and lessons applying them could enhance students learning in the areas the teachers are most concerned about.


Fortunately, California, a state with one of the largest student populations, not only has their standards available online (booooring!), but also has sample questions from past tests, geared to the standards.  These are pretty interesting!  Try some of them!


This could be a valuable resource for us. The same questions will not be asked again, but you can see what type of proficiencies they are looking for.  I'm sure other states have similar information online, but it is likely to be very similar.  Here is the link:

Enjoy!

P.S.  In no way am I advocating "teaching to the tests," but test scores are what the teachers and parents are going to be most interested in. Having Activities and lessons available to help teach some of these target concepts seems like a very good idea.
