Essential Tools for Assessing Student Progress and Bridging Your Curriculum to the Common Core State Standards
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 20, 2013
Recognizing the necessity of placing authentic, full-length New York State practice assessments in the hands of teachers and students now, Triumph Learning has published all-new ELA and math New York Coach Practice Tests—aligned to the New York State Common Core Learning Standards. The high-stakes testing will begin this spring.
Exclusively designed for New York, these Practice Tests importantly replicate the length, passage selections, and question styles of the actual exam, including a mix of multiple-choice and extended-response practice items, plus writing to prompts.
These authentic practice experiences will allow students to build familiarity and acclimate to the increased rigor of the new tests, and will give teachers the ability to identify students’ weak areas and assess progress. These timely and crucial tools will support student achievement across the state.
