The Curriculum, Data, Instruction, and Advancement (CDIA) department is committed to the successful education of all students. Our department provides and supports a rigorous, inclusive, and student-centered curriculum that aligns with the California Department of Education Frameworks and Standards.

Our CDIA Specialists and Supervisor are tasked with selecting curricula, monitoring and evaluating student performance data and academic assessments, mentoring teachers, leading new textbook adoptions, implementing educational technology in the classrooms, and keeping the Superintendent and Principals informed on these matters.

Academic Measurements

Classroom Testing

At CSDR, we employ various academic assessment tools to evaluate student achievement across all departments: Alternative Curriculum Education (ACE), Elementary, Middle School, and High School. Teachers administer both formative and summative assessments to gauge student progress and growth, guiding classroom instruction to ensure alignment with college and career readiness objectives.

School-Wide Standardized Testing

CSDR utilizes the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) External Link Icon Growth Tests to measure performance and academic achievement for students in grades 2-12. Additionally, formal tests are conducted by on-campus psychologists for triannual IEPs and other specific requests. For detailed information on additional testing, please contact the Assessment Department.

State-Required Testing Programs

All students, as documented in their IEPs, participate in the California Assessments of Student Progress and Performance (CAASPP). Parents wishing to exempt their child from state testing may do so during the IEP meeting or must provide written notice before state testing begins in the spring. Detailed information about the various state-required tests can be found on the California Department of Education website External Link Icon.

Textbook & Instructional Materials Agreement

Textbooks and instructional materials belong to the school. It is important to take care of them. Other students need to use them in the future.

Instructional materials are school-issued electronic resources (i.e. laptop, video game equipment) calculators, dictionaries, and any other materials loaned to you.

1. I will take good care of my textbooks and instructional materials.
2. I will cover my textbooks with special CSDR covers or my own covers. I will not use sticky paper. If I lose or damage a CSDR cover, I will pay for it.
3. I will not write in my textbooks.
4. I will not loan my textbooks or instructional materials to another student.
5. If I damage or lose textbooks or instructional materials, I will pay for them.
6. If I pay for lost textbooks or instructional materials and find them later, I can get my money back.

The student receives the copies of the textbooks being used during their registration day or the following week after the school opens. Textbooks are issued according to the barcode number. Therefore, students must return the same books that were issued to them.

California School for the Deaf Riverside recognizes that the rising cost of instructional materials must be addressed to maintain our goal of academic excellence for our students. CSDR provides textbooks and other instructional materials at no cost to the students and their parents/guardians/caregivers. The parent, guardian, or caregiver to whom the instructional materials are issued shall be liable for any loss in excess of that which would result from normal use of the materials.
