REVIEWING RESULTS WITH THE INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF EPAS PROFILE SUMMARY REPORTS

EPAS: Background Knowledge EPAS programs can be mixed and matched in ways that meet the needs of individual schools, and districts. However, each program includes the four components that form the foundation of EPAS: Student Planning—Process through which students can identify career and educational goals early and then pursue those goals. Instructional Support—Support materials to help classroom teachers prepare their students for the coming transitions. This reinforces the direct link between the content and skills measured in the EPAS programs and those that are taught in classrooms. See also the College Readiness Standards.College Readiness Standards Assessment—Student achievement is assessed at three key transition points in EPAS—8th/9th, 10th, and 11th/12th grades—so that academic progress can be monitored to ensure that each student is prepared to reach his/her post-high school goals. Evaluation—An academic information monitoring service that provides teachers and administrators with a comprehensive analysis of academic growth between EPAS levels. Source:
