Mapping KTEA-3 to Common Core State Standards
The KTEA-3 was not designed as a measure of Common Core State Standards (CCSS; National Governors Association Center for Best Practices & Council of Chief State School O cers, 2010). Rather, the KTEA-3 is intended for use in all 50 states, regardless of whether a state has adopted CCSS.
For practitioners interested in mapping the KTEA-3 to CCSS, the tables in Rapid Reference 2.5 show that the KTEA-3 measures many of the skills identified by the

26 ESSENTIALS OF KTEA™-3 AND WIAT®-III ASSESSMENT
Common Core State Standards (CCSS) as important for meeting grade level expectations. As explained in the Technical & Interpretive Manual (Kaufman & Kaufman, 2014b, p. 136), the KTEA-3 was designed to measure skills that are both clinically sensitive and correspond to CCSS whenever possible. However, certain CCSS are not measured by the KTEA-3 because the standards are not relevant to the purpose and intended use of the KTEA-3, or the skill would be di cult to measure with a norm-referenced clinical assessment (Kaufman & Kaufman, 2014b, pp. 136–137).
