Have the WIN curriculum and Work Keys assessments been cross-referenced to Alaska’s Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) or Alaska’s Content and Performance Standards?
WIN has provided us with a cross-reference to the GLEs, which are our grade K-12 content and performance standards. Crosswalks have also been made with other assessments such as TABE, GED, ASVAB, and CASAS. Available crosswalks are downloadable here.14. For those students who take more advanced math, will WorkKeys measure their skills? If not, will another assessment option be available for students, e.g., college placement tests which measure from elementary algebra up to precalculus?WorkKeys Applied Math is not an achievement test, and it is not divided into topics such as Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, etc. It is an assessment of how well a person can apply mathematical skills that are needed in workplace situations. Some of the math skills at Level 7 Applied Math (the highest WorkKeys Applied Math level) include basic statistical concepts, non-linear functions, and volumes. For a complete list of the skills assessed at each level of WorkKeys Applied Math, see http://www.act.org/w
