Welcome to the STAR Web Site

 

This site is for district STAR coordinators. The site was developed and is maintained by Educational Testing Service (ETS) under contract with the California Department of Education (CDE). The CDE has contracted with ETS for the development, administration, scoring, and reporting of the California Standards Tests, the California Modified Assessment, the California Alternate Performance Assessment, and the Standards-based Tests in Spanish.

The purpose of this Web site is to:

  • Provide district STAR coordinators with access to calendars, directions, and requirements for the current year's program.
  • Provide access to forms, instructions, and other documents that are needed to coordinate the STAR Program within school districts.

For information about the STAR Program, visit the CDE's Standardized Testing and Reporting resources Web page at www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr.
