Spring to give first glimpse of Common Core test results

SANDPOINT — Asked about the new Idaho Common Core testing standards, and Lake Pend Oreille School District Superintendent Shawn Woodward will tell you the shift is a “good thing.” It puts more emphasis on evidence-based writing, citing primary sources, and applied mathematics. The change won’t come without some potential growing pains, however.

Although Idaho Common Core has been taught for the past three years, 2015 is the first year students will actually test to the new standards. The results will be published this spring, after the spring assessment is completed and graded.
