The Transitional Kindergarten (TK) Benchmark Assessments were created and approved by the Assessment and Reporting (ARC) team in meetings five and six (May and October 2019, respectively).  Since the assessments are in line with the VESD TK Report Card, the data is stored using the Synergy Report Card. Currently, TK Teachers just need to assess their students on the following Focus Standards listed below and enter the results on the report card.  There is no specific platform to assess with this year. The information below contains the directions for administration (in case the teacher opts to utilize DnA's (formally Illuminate) Skills Assessment) that were reviewed and contributed to by the TK ARC team.
