Fall

Tuesday we usher in another fall season. Football, pumpkins, frost, and, of course, NWEA testing. Unlike ISTEPs, which tend to measure progress of both student and school, the NWEA tests are a diagnostic tool. By that I mean they help us, as teachers, determine where you, as students, fall in your skills and abilities. Equipped with these scores, we can tailor curriculum to best meet your needs.

So don't be surprised to see differentiation in your team classrooms. Determining where you stand in your reading and language usage development will allow us to create a variety of assignments and lessons to meet your individual needs. This could mean different assignments for different students, a variety of tests, and so on.

Hopefully, you'll get plenty of rest before the tests Weds., Thurs., and Friday and that you'll try your very best on them.
