• ¯ When a check mark appears before the outcome this indicates that an outcome will be tested on the national standardized test (ITBS), the state tests (Kansas Assessments), or possibly both tests. This testing may be done at that grade/course level or at a future grade/course level that is depending on earlier teachers to teach that outcome. More specific alignment information follows the grade/course outcomes.
