| Grade 5 students get ready for their first session! |
With students and staff settling into the new school year, we've begun beginning of the year testing. These assessments enable us to make better and more accurate decisions about student strengths and needs, and allow us to focus our efforts more effectively. This process, which was new to us last year, is an important part of our effort to do a better job of teaching and learning.
Students in this picture are preparing to take a MAP test, a web-based assessment that self-adjusts its questions based on student answers. Get too many wrong, the test questions get easier, Get several in a row correct, and the test adjusts to see if you are capable of more challenging work.
We will be sharing more information on these tests, and how our students did on them, in the coming weeks.
