Econ Illinois Tuesday Tips

Econ Illinois request to test 9-12 students

We need as many high school teachers as possible to participate in the Test of Economic Literacy (TEL) National Norming. Teachers of all content areas are invited to pretest early in the spring semester and to posttest at the end of the semester. The multiple choice testing takes about 45 minutes, with students using web-accessible computers at school. Results are shared. For more information on this national testing and to register, visit: www.testmyclass.org.
