Testing days are here–and I can clear my reader

As we administer/monitor testing, I have plenty of time to thoroughly read through my rss feeds. It’s funny what things just jump out of my reader to grab my attention!
- This one struck me as I have a child who is smart (now a college junior) that still absolutely flips out over assessments of any kind.
- And then this one–more of a home flavor too–an editorial from none other than an area principal!! YES!!
- Another discussion worth reading that revolves around testing–pay attention the the comments as well, and if inspired, leave one yourself:
- Last, I can’t decide if I’m appalled or impressed, but I have to admit, I like it. Not a fan of testing pep rallies, which has been of discussion quite a bit in my reader, but I do like arts integration. So this one swings from aggravating to impressive on my radar–guess I’m a tad bipolar on this one.
We have 28 more school days, and 9 of them will tie the library up for testing. (HSAP, HSAP Makeup, and EOC) Guess that means finding creative ways to serve our students in the coming days during testing. Have a great spring testing cycle everyone.
We are told that we can’t 1) walk around the room, 2) read a book or magazine, 3) get on the computer, or 4) have our phone or any other technology with us while we administer a test….even the untimed ones! My own personal hell. Guess I’m just venting, but I was so jealous when I read this post.
