Frameworks list the percent representation and number of score points for each of the reporting categories/standard areas that appear on the summative assessments. They also specify the Evidence Outcomes that are eligible for inclusion on the state assessments. CDE incorporated feedback from content experts and educators throughout the state to create the final versions of the frameworks.
