Why were the Language Arts Literacy Core Curriculum Standards changed in 2004?
A. The driving force was the required testing in Language Arts each year in grades 3 through 8 by 2005-2006. As a result, the changes focused on developing individual grade-level Cumulative Progress Indicators (CPIs) for the 5 Language Arts Literacy Core Curriculum Content Standards at grades 5, 6, 7, and 8. Previously, those grade-levels were clustered at grades (5 and 6) and at grades (7 and 8).
