Delaware Social Studies Testing

Under the Delaware State Testing Program (DSTP), testing occurred in grades 4, 6, 8 & 11. This will continue during the upcoming 2009-2010 school year.

The new Delaware Comprehensive Assessment System (DCAS) envisions social studies testing once in the elementary grades (K-5), once in the middle grades, and again in a high school end-of-course exam that will be phased in as the budget permits. The most recent proposal schedules social studies testing in grades 4 and 7. The new assessment system also envisions an adaptive model in which students move through different test trajectories depending on their responses with quick feedback.

  • What are your thoughts on the changes?
