TESTING IN MARYLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Marylands school improvement efforts include setting high
standards for student achievement, measuring academic progress,
publicly reporting each schools performance annually,
and taking action when schools are not making adequate progress.
Maryland measures academic progress each year by administering
the Maryland School Assessment, the Alternate Maryland School
Assessment (for students with disabilities), and the Maryland
High School Assessments.
TESTING IN VIRGINIA PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools describe
the commonwealth's expectations for student learning and achievement
in grades K-12 in English, mathematics, science, history/social
science, technology, the fine arts, foreign language, health
and physical education, and driver education. These standards
represent a broad consensus of what parents, classroom teachers,
school administrators, academics, and business and community
leaders believe schools should teach and students should learn.
In the four core areas of English, mathematics, science, and
history/social science, a curriculum framework also is provided
that details the specific knowledge and skills students must
possess to meet the standards for these subjects.
