Keystone Exams- from SAS
The Keystone Exams are end-of-course assessments designed to assess proficiency in various subjects. During the 2012-2013 school year the following Keystone Exams will be available: Algebra I, Literature and Biology. In future years, pending funding, additional Keystone Exams will be administered.The Keystone Exams are one component of Pennsylvania’s proposed system of high school graduation requirements. Keystone Exams will help school districts guide students toward meeting state standards.
Please visit the Algebra 1 Resource Page for materials that align with the Keystone Exam, providing instructional content for educators and subject-specific activities that students can use to prepare for the assessment.
FYI
-Keystone exams do not have to count as 1/3 grade anymore
-Students can retake Keystone as many times as they wish
-Once proficient there are no retakes
-Once students become seniors they must do the PBA and not retake test
-There is a summer Keystone
-2017 and beyond the proficiency in science and writing will count for AYP
-PBA is strictly an on-line assessment
-PBA must be done in a school-supervised environment.. Hmm....what does that mean for cyber and cyber charter?
