Scholastic Edge Pre-K Study Update
A training is scheduled for all Pre-K teachers on Scholastic Edge on January 16th. Information will be sent out by Ms. Maldonado, PD Specialist.
Test administrators from Scholastic/Edge will begin to administer assessments on Thursday, Jan 14th and we anticipate that assessments will continue through the week of January 27th. RMC Research will email each school’s principal and PreK teachers at least 3 days in advance, so they:
· are aware what days/times the test administrators will assess their emergent reader students,
· can identify a space in their building for the testing to occur, and
· can indicate if rescheduling is needed.
Please let Ms. Maldonado know if you have any questions or concerns about the above outlined process. Thank you!
