Planning for 2013-2014 • Guilford is completing its transition to the Common Core State Standards. • CAPT/CMT assessments were not designed to measure student learning relative to the new standards. • The state board has requested federal approval for an option to administer Smarter Balanced assessment in ELA and math for 2013-2014.
