Thinking Deeply Emphasis on critical thinking More analyzing, discussing, evaluating, justifying and explaining Understanding deeply especially in writing California State Standards (CSS): 2. Integrated Learning Emphasis on learning across disciplines (reading with math and social studies standards combined in one task) Units of Study: Students spend more time working together with different settings, structures and tools California State Standards (CSS): 3.

This refers to steadily increasing the percentage of academic proficiency from year to year. The Academic Performance Index (API) measures school performance, sets academic growth targets, and monitors growth over time based on the CST results.
