Hello!  My name is Paula, and I am very excited to serve as a guest author on this site!  I am entering my thirteenth year in elementary education.  Prior to becoming a curriculum coordinator for an elementary school, I was a Third Grade teacher.  As a classroom teacher, I administered the Think Link Learning assessments for several years.  The assessments and corresponding reports had a tremendous impact on my classroom instruction.  The timely reports allowed me to provide more focused instruction. In this day and age of accountability, it is extremely important to have up-to-date data reflective of state standards in order to provide appropriate whole-group and small-group instruction.     Please share your Think Link Learning success stories. I am eager to hear how the assessments have improved student learning and norm and/or criterion-reference results.
