  State testing just around the corner

California Department of Education holds that the best academic preparation for state assessment is good instruction. In order to help support schools in this effort, CDE created "Guidelines on Academic Preparation for State Assessments" as a resource for teachers and principals. Visit http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/documents/academicprep.pdf for the full paper.
