  2. Goals of the EAP • Give students an early signal of college readiness • Identify students before their senior year who need to do additional work in English and/or mathematics before entering the CSU • Collaborate with the high school community • Inform students, families, and high schools of students’ readiness for college-level work and partner with high school teachers and administrators to develop solutions • Provide 12th grade interventions • Motivate students to take needed steps in 12th grade to ensure readiness

  3. Components of EAP The components of the CSU Early Assessment Program provide a comprehensive solution for helping students become ready for college. • 11th grade testing • Supplemental high school preparation • Teacher/administrator professional development • Parent/family communication • Preservice teacher preparation

  4. 11th Grade Testing To receive EAP results students must complete all sections of test • CST in English and/or mathematics (Algebra 2 or Summative High School Mathematics as appropriate) • EAP 15 multiple-choice items in English and/or mathematics • Administered with the CST • Untimed • EAP essay in English

  5. 11th Grade Testing • Determinations of readiness are based on the scoring of all sections • Portion of the CST (45-55 items) • EAP multiple-choice items (15 items) • EAP essay in English • EAP essay administration • March 3 - 31, 2009 • March 2 - 31, 2010

  6. 11th Grade Testing • Students are identified as • Ready for CSU college-level courses in English or mathematics • Not yet demonstrating readiness… • In mathematics, students may also be identified as ready on a conditional basis. • They must fulfill requirements in 12th grade in order to maintain exemption from placement testing. • Students whose results indicate readiness are exempted from placement exams • English Placement Test (EPT) • Entry Level Math Exam (ELM)

  7. 11th Grade Testing • Students should be encouraged to release their scores to the CSU • Students need to grid bubble on their answer sheet to release their scores. • Doing so allows them to retrieve their scores online and ensures that CSU admissions receives their scores after they are admitted. • The EAP is voluntary and does not affect admission to the CSU.
