Classroom-based assessments and classroom-based performance assessments are now being used to make sure students are getting key skills and knowledge in social studies, arts and health/fitness.

Classroom-based assessments are built from the state’s learning standards. State curriculum specialists create tasks and questions that model good assessments and provide these to local school districts. As their name suggests, these assessments are given in the classroom by a teacher.

By the end of the 2008-09 school year, school districts shall have in place in elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools assessments or other strategies to assure that students have an opportunity to learn the essential academic learning requirements in social studies, the arts, and health and fitness. Social Studies includes history, geography, civics, economics, and social studies skills. Beginning with the 2008-09 school year, school districts shall annually submit an implementation verification report to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
