CSAP Assessment Frameworks
CSAP Assessment Frameworks define what will be assessed on the state's paper and pencil, standardized, timed assessment (CSAP). They are the "DNA of the test." Each item on the CSAP is developed to measure a single test objective. Test objectives are measured in a cyclical basis through an annual refreshment of items and text-passages.
Continuity of the test results between years within the same grade and between grades (vertical scale) is maintained using both an "anchoring" of items within tests and shared items between grades.
Further information regarding test construction can be found on the FACT Sheets developed for each content area:
