Assessment
ASTI participates in all the state-mandated standardized assessments, including the California Standards Tests (CSTs) and the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). ASTI students are also assessed using the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests in the areas of Reading and Mathematics. MAP testing software and training are provided through support provided by ASTI's intermediary Jobs for the Future, and MAP is a value-added assessment system created by NWEA (Northwest Evaluation Association) to provide dynamic student achievement data that is further disaggregated by staff to provide a cycle of inquiry to promote school improvement and identify academic support needed in order for students to access ASTI's accelerated curriculum.

Famous quotes containing the word assessment:
“The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.”
—Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)
