TABS or STAR Test: standardized tests to assess basic skills; determine grade <br />level equivalents; track literacy and numeracy gains; required by OCCC charter <br />school; <br />3. Practice CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam) Test: practice tests to <br />monitor progress towards meeting high school exit criteria, monitor academic <br />progress, literacy, and numeracy gains; required by OCCC charter school; <br />4. Reading/GVritrng/Math samples: baseline information to establish and compare <br />progress; needs for individualized tutoring; required by OCCC charter school; <br />5. PLATO: computer program to administer the practice CAHSEE, develop <br />individualized lesson plans to address basic skills deficiencies, and improve <br />literacy and numeracy gains; required by charter school; <br />6. COPS/COPES/CAPS: career exploration, interests, and aptitudes; nationally <br />recognized career interest tests; <br />7.

OCCC staff may use several interviews to determine an <br />individual's prior work history, work readiness, employability, and suitability for one <br />of OCCC's worktlearn programs. Once an applicant has been identified as a potential <br />WIA participant, staff will interview and discuss the W1A program and expectations <br />to determine suitability for the WIA program. If determined as a suitable placement, <br />staff will begin to gather the needed documentation for WIA eligibility. Once <br />approved and enrolled into the WIA program, the participant working with OCCC <br />staff will develop an Individual Education Plan and an lndividual Service Learning <br />Plan (WIA Individual Service Strategy) based on standardized test scores, personal <br />Page ] 0 of 22 <br />
