Reading standards have increased for North Carolina's third- through eighth-graders, and with that have come changes in the state's End-of-Grade tests. As a result, EOG results won't be available until October. We experienced similar changes in standards and testing with mathematics in 2005-06. In this week's ParentVision, Assistant Superintendent for Evaluation and Research David Holdzkom explains the nature of those changes and how they may affect students and schools.
ParentVision is our new video podcast series, picking up from where we left off with our previous Wake EduCast. We hope you find it helpful.
