Am I effectively preparing my students for SOL? This is only a start to my checklist.
- When preparing my lessons plans, I review rpstech.org
- I use the blueprint, performance level descriptors and framework when planning lessons. http://www.doe.virginia.gov/testing/scoring/performance_level_descriptors/
- All my students have completed, at least one, ARDT strand test in number and number sense AND conferenced with me or tutor about results.
- My students receive remediation based on MAP, ARDT, benchmark, or/and teacher created assessment data and other individual weaknesses.
- FOR 6th Grade Teachers- I have implemented alternate ways to assess that helps my students prepare for the new SOL CAT-6 assessment.
- I keep the parents/guardians updated on student academic progress.
