The California Academic Partnership Program (CAPP) was established by the California State Legislature in 1984. CAPP’s purpose is to develop cooperative efforts to improve the academic quality of public middle and high school education in California and improve access to and preparation for college for all students. CAPP is administered by the CSU, in cooperation with the University of California, the California Community Colleges, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and other segment representatives.
CAPP’s grant making goal is to promote efforts that help close achievement gaps and prepare and motivate middle and high school students to attend and succeed in college. Equity and access are central to our work. We evaluate our projects in order to share models, practices and strategies with the education and policy making communities. CAPP’s recent projects include:
- Improving instruction of expository reading and writing with emphasis on collaborative work of teachers to improve instructional practice;
- Increasing administrator and teacher leadership capacity to improve teaching and learning at specific school sites;
- Helping high school principals to build instructional leadership and turn struggling schools into successful ones.
CAPP is also the primary source of support for the statewide intersegmental Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Project (MDTP), which develops and provides diagnostic tests to enable middle and high school teachers to assess individual students’ strengths and weaknesses in specific math skills. CAPP initiated and continues to support the Alliance of Regional Collaboration to Heighten Educational Success (ARCHES), which was established to help improve public education and close the achievement gap through regional Pre-K through University collaborative efforts.
CAPP is administered by the California State University, in cooperation with:
