Kinder friends, I've been waiting for months to tell you this exciting news about new Common Core tests on ESGI. Get ready to do a happy dance, this is going to save YOU so much time on your assessments and GKIDS reports (if you Iive in Georgia)! You'll find that Georgia is closely aligned to the national Common Core standards, so the tests should help Kinder teachers in many states.
I've made a test or an assessment tracking tool for every single standard on our Common Core Georgia Performance Standards. Here's what my own ESGI looks like:
For every math unit of study I made a test tab. These units are based on the sequence provided by the Georgia Department of Education.
For every area of the ELA curriculum, I made a test tab.
If you could peek into my own test explorer section, you would see a test for every standard that we enter into GKIDS. The name of each test matches the name on the GKIDS site.
For the benefits of how to track all these tests, scroll down to see my post about ESGI on March 9.
