- January 21, 2003 - The Community Training and Assistance
Center (CTAC) has been chosen to assess student achievement
in the Berkeley Unified School District. The Fiscal Crisis and
Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) issued a request for proposals,
and selected CTAC as the provider for the assessment of pupil
achievement.
Beginning immediately, CTAC will evaluate the degree of implementation
of more than 70 standards representing key requirements for
the education of California youth. Based on data collected in
interviews, student assessments, demographic analysis, artifacts
and documents, and classroom observations, CTAC staff is reporting
findings, developing improvement plans with six-month benchmarks,
and conducting on-going monitoring through 2005.
Funding for the assessment was established by the California
legislature in AB 2859, Chapter 1069 Statutes of 2002.  |
