WRITING SCORES ON STATE TESTS IN PUBLIC AND CHARTER SCHOOLS

Standardized test scores improve when teachers use WriteSteps, regardless of class size, socio-economic level, and teaching style. The examples below are typical of results where WriteSteps is being implemented. Since the WriteSteps program is 100% percent aligned with the National Common Core Standards, we anticipate similar results on the NCCSS test in 2014-2015.
