Vision: Academic Excellence and Success
From Mr. R's Desk
As we embark on the STAAR, we need everyone upholding Test Security and Confidentiality Requirements. "Any person who violates, assists in the violation of, or solicits another to violate or assist in the violation of test security or confidentiality, as well as any person who fails to report such a violation, is subject to the penalties," described in the STAAR EOC Test Administrator Manual.
Reminders for TEACHERS
- No element of the testing room environment should hinder any student’s performance.
- A “Testing-Do Not Disturb” sign should be posted outside the testing room.
- Bulletin boards and instructional displays that could aid students during testing must be covered or removed.
- All desks or computer workstations used for testing must be cleared of books and other materials not required for the test.
- Test administrators must actively monitor the testing room while students are working.
- Please refer to the STAAR 2018-2019 Test Administrator Manual for all procedures.
Reminders for STUDENTS
- Get a good night’s rest.
- No cell phones or devices.
- Manage your time and stay on task.
- Students must remain seated during testing except when they are receiving or returning authorized testing materials.
- Students are not allowed to talk to one another while testing is in progress.
- Read directions, questions, and all answer choices carefully.
- Do your best!
Reflective questions of the week... Dave Burgess @burgessdave #WGEDD
- If students didn’t have to be there, would you be teaching to an empty room?
- Do you have any lessons you could sell tickets to?
- What are we doing to make learning a “want to” and not a “have to” in our classrooms?
- It’s not enough to just be good; we have to be REMARKABLE. I want to be remarkable for my learners. How about you?
