Do you wonder if State Assessments like Map Growth, AK Star and others would be a valuable tool for you and your homeschool journey? Are you curious about the benefits for you and your child? Do you have questions about these assessments and want to be able to ask other parents their perspectives and experiences?
Join us January 21st at 3:00 PM for a Virtual Parent Discussion with other parents from across the state. This panel is prepared to talk about their own choices in using the state assessments for their students. Learn how they came to the decision to assess, how they use the results to inform their curriculum decisions, and what other benefits they find from making this choice. There will also be the chance to ask your specific questions you may have.
You can join us from the comfort of your home. This will be a statewide virtual discussion hosted on the TEAMS platform. Please sign up here and a link will be sent to you.
