All students should graduate from high school ready for college, careers, and citizenship.
An Alignment Analysis of Washington State’s College Readiness Mathematics Standards With Various Local Placement Tests
Since 2004, Achieve has worked with the Transition Mathematics Project (TMP), a collaborative project of K-12 schools, community and technical colleges, and baccalaureate institutions within the state of Washington, as it developed mathematics standards that “define the core knowledge and skills expected of students entering college-level mathematics courses and courses with quantitative components.” As part of its work with the TMP, Achieve was asked to assess the alignment between a sample of college placement tests used by Washington’s state postsecondary institutions and the College Readiness Mathematics Standards (CRMS) recently completed by the TMP.
