The clients of Academic Benchmarks have continued to stay busy during the month of June. We've been receiving many questions about Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards. In response to the challenges these standards present, AB has launched the Common Standards Initiative.
Please let us know if you have questions or would like to see certain features included in the AB Snapshot.
Sincerely,
Academic Benchmarks
