Eye of the Dragon
John Dewey Academy of Learning, November 9, 2020
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the John Dewey Academy of Learning is to provide students
with a rigorous project-based curriculum and a safe, caring community in which to learn.
By developing the whole person - academically, professionally and personally -
JDAL will assist students in reaching their full potential.
ACT Aspire Interim Testing - 9th and 10th grade ONLY
All 9th and 10th grade students will be taking ACT® Aspire® assessments for English, Math, Reading and Science November 16 - 19.
The valuable data we gain from these assessments allows us to identify the learning standards your child has already mastered! Just like our ALEKS math program, once a student exhibits mastery of a standard (even via a standardized test), that standard gets check off the list and the student does not need to include it in future project work or ALEKS math topics! JDAL staff also uses the data to help us identify who may need a little extra help in certain areas.
To help prepare students for these upcoming tests, we will be having them participate in online practice tests during their Advisory Circle November 9 -12. This will allow students an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the format and identify any technology issues prior to the actual testing which takes place November 16 - 19. Students will take the ACT Aspire Tests online and from the comfort of their own home.
Please see the attached info for more information and technology requirements. Of note is the section identifying how to make sure devices are updated and have the proper program ready:
- TestNav is accessed on a district-provided Chromebook: Chromebook Youtube Video
- TestNav can also be installed on your HP Probook: Windows Youtube Video
PASSWORDS for the tests next week were already emailed to you by the district. Please look for that email and make note of your username and password.
If you have questions, please contact Jen.
Thank you for being a Dragon. We appreciate you!
With gratitude,
Jen + the JDAL Staff
