The content areas include Reading, Vocabulary, Reading Composite, Language, Language Mechanics, Language Composite, Mathematics, Math Computation, Math Composite, Total Score, Science, or Social Studies. This year, 53% of TKA students who took the TerraNova assessment in spring 2015 were invited to participate in the Duke TIP. We are proud of our students’ hard work and success!
