SLO Courses

The list of courses by subject and grade level below identify those that have a PRE SLO assessment which must be given at the beginning of the course and a corresponding POST SLO given before the end of the course term. Within VERGE, teachers must "Activate" their SLO course Pre and Post test when you are ready to administer the assessment. Be sure to "Deactivate after all students have completed their SLO testing. Teachers should NOT activate both the PRE and Post at the same time as students see the assessment once activated.
