It's that time of year! VCS is now administering the NWEA Test to all grade 2-8 students to assess where they are academically in order to help the teachers know exactly what it is that the children know and don't know. We began the NWEA last year and it has proven to be a VERY valuable tool. The kids actually enjoy the test as well as they get a chance to see how much they've learned over the past year. The test is completely individualized for each child. The NWEA is administered on the computer and therefore each response, depending on whether it is right or wrong, takes the test in a new direction for each child. So essentially the test is constantly being "built" specifically for each child depending upon their responses. If you'd like to learn more about the NWEA test visit their web site by clicking here.
