Module 1 is an introduction to CASAS. This is an overview of the components of the CASAS system and the role CASAS assessments play in the student journey.
Module 4a covers how content standards, competencies, and task areas create the foundation of the CASAS integrated assessment and curriculum management system. They provide basic skills for successfully attaining learning objectives, life and work skills contexts, and various visual prompts. Understanding these components is essential to interpreting test results to inform instruction.
Module 4b covers how TOPSpro Enterprise (TE) provides several individual student and class reports that identify the underlying basic skills reading, math, and listening content standards for each competency assessed. These reports help instructors target appropriate instruction based on competencies and associated basic skills content standards.
The Teacher Portal is an easy-to-use, web-based tool for teachers that communicates seamlessly and simultaneously with your agency data in TOPSpro Enterprise (TE). Using the Teacher Portal, teachers can generate reports for their classes and students, review demographic data, and even take attendance at any time, all through an intuitive and colorful user interface.
Access a TE Classmate presentation to learn how this feature can benefit teachers and students. In addition, user Guides are available for TE data managers, students, and teachers.
CASAS has received a seven-year approval from OCTAE for each of its three new test series! Your program will be able to use these new series once approval is published in the Federal Register and the series are incorporated into state assessment policies. For more information, contact info@casas.org.
Access Sample Test Items to familiarize students with CASAS test formats. Because they are not actual tests, they are not predictors of student performance and are not valid for level placement, assessment, or reporting standardized scores.
