We are working on the first round of our computer based state tests. This first attempt will give us data to target reading support for those students that need extra focus. Any student that does not pass their test this round, will have other opportunities.
Over the next two weeks, we will also begin our math tests. With the math test, it is important for students to work slowly, write out the problems, and use the math tools that will be available.
While testing is not the only reflection of student's learning, teachers use it to help identify students that need extra support, classes that may need to be offered, and possible test-taking skill focus groups. Getting set up and started with the tests is always a little rough due to technology issues, but then things smooth out and the testing environment has been mellow.
Jess is our US testing coordinator. Thanks Jess!
