Your child's individualized education program (IEP) team decided that the CAPA was appropriate for your child.  \nThe CAPA is administered one-on-one; that is, an examiner, usually the child's teacher, administered the CAPA to each child individually. The CAPA is a performance test; the examiner set up objects or pictures and asked the child to do or say something related to the objects. The examiner then recorded the child's score based on the child's response.  \nThe CAPA is organized into five assessment levels. Most children eligible for the CAPA take the assessment that corresponds with their current school grade. The levels are as follows:  \nLevel I, grades 2-11 (Note: Eligibility for Level I is determined by the child's IEP team. Children  \nwho take CAPA Level I are receiving curriculum and instruction aligned to  \nLevel I blueprints.)  \nLevel II, grades 2-3  \nLevel III, grades 4-5  \nLevel IV, grades 6-8  \nLevel V, grades 9-11  \nEnglish-language arts and mathematics are administered at all CAPA levels. Science is administered to children taking the test for levels I, III, IV, and V. Each subject has twelve tasks for the child to perform. The assigned level is not related to individual ability in a particular subject. Your child was tested on all subjects at the same level.  \nEach level has its own standards or blueprints that indicate what the student is expected to know. You can see the CAPA blueprints on the California Department of Education (CDE) Web page at  \n[http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/capablueprints.asp](http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/capablueprints.asp).  \nYour child's results on the CAPA  \nSee how your child did on the CAPA by looking at the vertical black bars below each subject heading. The number at the top of each bar is your child's exact test score in that subject. The colored boxes to the left and the text at the bottom of each black bar provide your child's performance level in each subject: English-language arts and mathematics for all students and science for students in grades five, eight, and ten. There are five performance levels: advanced, proficient, basic, below basic, and far below basic. The goal in California is to have all students perform at the proficient or advanced level. CAPA performance levels are not equivalent to performance levels on other California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) Program tests.  \nMore about the CAASPP Program  \nQuestions about the CAASPP Program or your child's test results should first be directed to your child's teacher(s) . Additional information may be available through the school principal or counselor, or on the CDE CAASPP Web page at [http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/](http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/) .  \nCalifornia's Common Core State Standards (CCSS)  \nLocal educational agencies (LEAs) across the state are implementing the California CCSS, a new set of academic content standards adopted by the California State Board of Education in August 2010 with the goals that students will acquire deeper knowledge of the subjects they study and be able to perform more complex tasks to demonstrate what they have learned. New tests in English-language arts and mathematics are being developed that will measure your child's progress toward these goals.
