This Week at Coulston
ILEARN Checkpoint
We began ILEARN Checkpoint testing this past week. This was a great way to introduce the new testing format to the students. The students and staff did an awesome job and worked really hard.
The ILEARN Checkpoints are a new component of the Indiana Department of Education's (IDOE) ILEARN assessment program for English/Language Arts (ELA) and Math.
The ILEARN Checkpoints are short assessments that will be given to students in grades 3–8 three times per school year: fall, winter, and spring. The checkpoints will be required for all Indiana schools in the 2025–2026 school year.
