9/10-1 Activate prior knowledge, establish purposes forreading and adjust the purposes while reading (1.1 a.).In this link, (1.1 a.), the initial “1” indicates this item relates to Content Standard 1: Reading andResponding, on the approved Language Arts Framework. The second “1” refers to the firstPerformance Standard on this Framework (labeled component statement) which is “Students useappropriate strategies before, during and after reading in order to construct meaning.” The “a.”refers to the Expected Performance statement on the framework which is “activate priorknowledge, establish purposes for reading and adjust the purposes while reading.” By followingthis procedure each Expected Performance statement in the Language Arts portion of theChecklist can be similarly connected to the approved 2006 Language Arts Framework.II.

Again, these linksdirect the reader to a specific Expected Performance statement on the Mathematics scope andsequence table entitled GRADE 3 to 10 MATHEMATICS PERFORMANCE STANDARDSAND EXPECTED PERFORMANCES BY GRADE BY CONTENT STANDARD INCLUDEDON THE CMT/CAPT SKILLS CHECKLIST: SECOND GENERATION in Appendix Q.To illustrate, the link provided for the first test item on the Grade 10 Mathematics Checklist is“AR 10-1” (this test item is found on Page 27 of 32 in the Grade 10 CMT/CAPT SkillsChecklist). This means that the Expected Performance statement which serves as the basis forthis test item relates to Algebraic Reasoning (“AR”); is found in the 10 th grade MathematicsFramework (the “10”) and is the first Expected Performance statement in this area (the “-1”). Ifone then refers to Appendix Q one will find that this Expected Performance statement is the firstitem in the far right hand Column of the first page of the document.
