Dr. Robert A. Southworth, Jr. partnered with the San Diego City Schools – San Diego, CA (2001-2003) to create and evaluate a new "end of course" exam and Professional Development process in English Language Arts. In order to successfully prepare for the California high school Exit Exam (HSEE) students must receive appropriate instruction aligned to state content standards covered by the test. The knowledge and skills assessed on the statewide HSEE are cumulative and therefore compel San Diego City Schools to prepare students to achieve a basic level of mastery in literacy and monitor student progress toward that goal over time on a district-wide formative assessment that will be called the English End-of-Course Exam (EEOCE). The purpose of this evaluation is to understand to what extent the English End of Course Exam development process has helped the district to support teachers and students in understanding and attaining state standards. {!jomcomment}
