Delaware Educational Assessment Program. 1988 Report to the Legislature.
McCann, Kaye R.
Results of the 1988 implementation of the Delaware Educational Assessment Program in 17 school districts are reported for use by state legislators. The report contains a description of the statewide testing program, state-level averages and analyses, and a listing of the averages by content area and grade level for each school and district and district plans to remedy identified weaknesses. The 1988 program focused on administration of the Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills to more than 63,000 students in grades 1 through 8 and 11 during the period of March 14-25. Content areas covered include reading, language arts, and mathematics, for all students tested, and science and social studies for 11th graders. Test results are used for diagnosis of individual student strengths and weaknesses, placement of students, guidance and counseling, identification of curricular and instructional weaknesses, instructional planning, program evaluation, and implementation of research studies. Results indicate that average Delaware student performance was above the national average at all grade levels in all content areas, and that performance was generally higher in mathematics and language than in reading. Test data for the 17 school districts are tabulated. (TJH)
