ThinkLink Testing

As I've mentioned before, students recently completed the second round of Discovery Education's ThinkLink testing.  The computerized test is based on the recently adopted Common Core Standards.  Illinois is one of 45 states who have implemented these new standards.  The mission of the Common Core is to:

The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.


While the curriculum here at Warrensburg-Latham already incorporates many of the important aspects of Common Core, if you are interested in learning more, you can visit the official Common Core frequently asked questions. for more information.
