Teachers, assessment and FRC

[Phyrxes]

I can't say I've ever heard of the nwea.org test. The only assessments that I can think of that I have administered to check for prior knowledge, literacy, or whatever you want to call prior learning have been either the Mechanics Baseline Test or the Force Concept Inventory and that when was when I was teaching a second year mechanics class that we have since phased out in favor of AP - B and or C.

I'm not even sure how to quantify what a student learns in FIRST in the sense of a curriculum, especially if you are not limiting it to just FRC.
