Scope and Content of the Collection
The focus of this collection is the transition of the education system of the California Youth Authority (CYA) from a conventional
to a competency-based program that used the California Adult Student Assessment System (CASAS). Included is background information
on CASAS and correspondence related to its selection as the data mangement system for the CYA. There are materials for a workshop
on site staff development. A significant part of the collection is the competency based curriculum section that includes guidelines
for local programs and sample curriculum. Another significant section contains a collection of CYA department manuals for
leadership, ESL, special education, high school core programs and standards, ESEA, and employability.
The collection is arranged in five series. Four series consist of print materials: data management background and correspondence;
staff development; competency based education curriculum; and California Youth Authority Department manuals. The fifth is
a casousel slide tray with audiotape with a presentation for training on the California State Department of Education's "Coordinated
Compliance Review" (1986).
