The Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress (K-PREP) spring 2019 testing window begins in May, which is just around the corner! With testing season comes practice assessments, a dose of stress, and sometimes, conflicting information about academic standards. The good news is that a little research and planning can go a long way toward ensuring that you’re able to support your students to reach their full potential on the K-PREP test. We’ve gathered helpful, detailed, and relevant resources on K-PREP testing to help you put a test-preparation program into action.
