mCLASS: Reading 3D
Implementation for WCPSS
JANUARY 24, 2013
Excellent Public Schools Act
§ 115C-83.1A. State goal.
The goal of the State is to ensure that every student read
at or above grade level by the end of third grade and
continue to progress in reading proficiency so that he or
she can read, comprehend, integrate, and apply complex
texts needed for secondary education and career success.
SECTION 1.(e) G.S. 115C-174.11(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a) Assessment Instruments for Kindergarten, First, Second, and
Third Grades. – The State Board of Education shall develop,
adopt, and provide to the local school administrative units
developmentally appropriate individualized assessment
instruments consistent with the Basic Education Program and
Part 1A of Article 8 of this Chapter for kindergarten, first, second,
and third grades. Local school administrative units shall use
these assessment instruments provided to them by the State
Board for kindergarten, first, second, and third grade
students to assess progress, diagnose difficulties, and to
inform instruction and remediation needs. Local school
administrative units shall not use standardized tests for
summative assessment of kindergarten, first, and second grade
students except as required as a condition of receiving federal
grants.
