5.0 Guide to the Accommodation Matrix: California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)
Signed into law on October 2, 2013, Assembly Bill (AB) 484 establishes the CAASPP. The provisions of AB 484 became effective January 1, 2014. The CAASPP system is based on the state’s new California Common Core Standards for English language a rts (ELA) and mathematics adopted by the State Board of Education (SBE) in 2010. The CAASPP system replaces the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program. The primary purpose of the CAASPP system is to assist teachers, administrators, and students and their parents by promoting high quality teaching and learning through the use of a variety of assessment approaches and item responses.
