State Board of Education Adopts Regulations--effective 2010-2011 School Year.
Beginning with the 2010-2011 school year:
- 6th and 8th graders must take benchmark assessments in Applied Math, Reading for Information, and Locating Information (by using WIN courseware placement tests); and
- 11th graders must take the ACT WorkKeys® assessments in Applied Math, Reading for Information, and Locating Information.
In the meantime, several districts have agreed to act as pilot sites for trying out WIN and WorkKeys®. Please note that WIN instructional courseware is currently available to ALL public K-12 schools in the state, and high schools will soon be able to administer ACT WorkKeys® assessments to their 11th graders, even though the regulations are not yet effective. The state will pay the required fees to WIN and ACT.
