Why am I qualified to write these test prep questions that align with the new standards? Not only have I worked as a Language Arts Teacher for 30 years with a Highly Qualified Status, but I also have spent the last 15 years writing state and national assessments, such as the SATs, ACTs, and individual state assessments, like the FSA, that align with each state's standards. This includes grading, item writing, and passage writing for these assessments.
