Testing Calendar
I want to emphasize how much information is packed into the Assessment Resource Newsletter!
This year's brand new edition has a pretty cute and encouraging otter 😍😅 I just updated it with more resources such as ASR practice test opportunities, writing tips, Istation modeling, and more...if you haven't already started, you should be incorporating opportunities to scaffold testing strategies, model question type, and exposing them to the types of test sets they may see in your weekly lesson plans. Embedding and modeling sets our students up for success and gives them confidence. There are so many resources in different places...this newsletter allows for the majority to be downloaded in one place. Your time is too precious to have to be searching all over for support.
