Introduction
The Terra Nova, Second Edition (CAT/6) is a comprehensive, modular assessment series, offering multiple measures of student achievement that was published by CTB McGraw-Hill in 2001. The Terra Nova Complete Battery generates precise norm-referenced achievement scores and a full complement of objective mastery scores.
Each spring students in grades 3-8 take an achievement test as part of the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP). The primary aim of the TCAP Achievement Test is to provide an accurate measure of academic basic skills in reading, vocabulary, language, language mechanics, mathematics, mathematics computation, science, spelling and word analysis. Content knowledge in these subject areas is assessed as well as the application of such knowledge. The TCAP Achievement Test uses multiple choice questions and has set time limits. There is no passing or failing grade on the test.
The TCAP Achievement Test, published by CTB/McGraw-Hill, provides both norm-referenced and criterion-referenced information. Norm-referenced information permits the achievement of students to be compared with the performance of a national sample of students. Criterion-referenced information allows the comparison of student achievement against a specified level of performance. The TCAP achievement test also reports information in terms of five performance levels that describe a Pathway to Proficiency. The defined levels are Step 1, Progressing, Nearing Proficiency, Proficient, and Advanced. These five levels of performance are appropriate for grade span three through five and grade span six through eight rather than individual grade levels. The goal is to move students to Proficient or Advanced level by the end of grade five and to the Proficient or Advanced level again by the end of grade eight.
The Tennessee State Board of Education has appproved Curriculum Standards for language arts, mathematics and science
The Tennessee Curriculum Frameworks provide content standards in Mathematics (K-8), Science, and Language Arts (K-12).
Consistent with the six-year curriculum development and textbook adoption cycle of Rule, Regulations, and Minimum Standards of the Tennessee State Board of Education, the 9-12 Mathematics Framework has been developed by a statewide committee of Mathematics educators. The framework includes the Content Standards and Learning Expectations necessary to insure 9-12 Tennessee students develop the mathematics skills needed to succeed in school, in the workplace, and in their lives.

The Tennessee State Board of Education has appproved Curriculum Standards for language arts, mathematics and science
On October 29, 1998, in compliance with TCA 49-1-608 and TCA 49-6-6001(a)(1), the State Board of Education designated ten high school courses for the development of End-of-Course examinations. The Select Oversight Committee on Education of the Tennessee General Assembly subsequently affirmed the State Board's recommendation.
To raise the academic bar for all high school students and add accountability for students' academic performance, Tennessee has adopted a new testing program for End-of-Course Tests in key subjects. Beginning with freshmen entering high school in 2001-02, students must pass three of these tests -- mathematics, science, and language arts -- before graduation to earn a high school diploma. These three tests are referred to as Gateway Tests.
The revised End-of-Course Assessment Program will include Algebra I (also taken by Math for Technology II students), Algebra II, Geometry, Math Foundations II, Biology I (also taken by Biology for Technology I students), Physical Science, Chemistry, English I, English II, and US History. All ten of the End-of-Course Assessments will count as part of the course grade for any student enrolled in the related course.

Principles and Standards for School Mathematics is intended to be a resource and guide for all who make decisions that affect the mathematics education of students in prekindergarten through grade twelve. The recommendations in it are grounded in the belief that all students should learn important mathematical concepts and processes with understanding. Principles and Standards makes an argument for the importance of such understanding and describes ways students can attain it. Its audience includes mathematics teachers; teacher-leaders in schools and districts; developers of instructional materials and frameworks; district-level curriculum directors and professional development leaders; those responsible for educating mathematics teachers; preservice teachers; school, state, and provincial administrators; and policymakers. In addition, the document can serve as a resource for researchers, mathematicians, and others with an interest in school mathematics.

The Advanced Placement Program consists of 33 college-level courses and exams in 19 disciplines designed for highly motivated students in secondary schools. Its exceptional reputation is made possible by the close cooperation of secondary schools, colleges, and the College Board. More than 2,900 universities and colleges worldwide grant credit, advanced placement, or both to students who have performed satisfactorily on the exams, and approximately 1,400 institutions grant sophomore standing to students who have demonstrated their competence in three or more of these exams.

This Curriculum includes principle components of Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and/or Social Studies. Each subject area encompasses basic and performance-based skills.
The primary goal of the ISTE NETS Project is to enable stakeholders in PreK-12 education to develop national standards for educational uses of technology that facilitate school improvement in the United States. The NETS Project will work to define standards for students, integrating curriculum technology, technology support, and standards for student assessment and evaluation of technology use.
