IMLEA Monday Minute
January 29, 2018
- With Indiana's ESSA plan approved, plans to incorporate attendance and ELP as part of a school's "score" are being detailed.
- Beginning in 2019, the plan is to have one testing window, sometime between mid-April and mid-May. The goal is to have scores by July 1.
- There will be no more test tickets!
- The content will not be cached, so there will be less pre-test stress on your technology department.
- Teachers will be recruited for field testing this spring.
"A successful middle school teaching team is like a good hors d’oeuvres table; a blend of delicious components that are very different but work well together."
This could be fun to share with your teachers and have them see which "course" they identify with.
