The Rise, Fall, and Rise of State Assessment in California, 1993-96.
Kirst, Michael W.; Mazzeo, Christopher
Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n4 p319-23 Dec 1996
The California Learning Assessment System (CLAS) was developed in 1991 to align the state's testing system to curriculum content and improve measurement of student, school, and district performance. CLAS was discontinued because of tension between political and technical factors, key stakeholders' divergent priorities and goals, and virulent antigovernment feelings. New assessment approaches are being designed. (MLH)
