2—The STAR test is ONLY accurate if the student tries his/her best. Depending upon teacher’s discipline and motivation for students, results can vary.

3—It’s a good read of how well our students have met standards. Some concern in the Spring regarding “over testing” during AP exams, etc.

4—Excellent test in that the rubric breaks writing into key areas for assessment, including organization, grammar and mechanics, etc.

4—May vary from teacher to teacher, but generally our projects help us to provide students with required rigor

Depends on the assignment – state and national science standards

All 9th and 10th grade state science standards (60% physical science and 40% biology)

Science Standards associated with each subject area (9th – 12th)

Science Standards associated with each subject area (9th – 12th); Common Core State Standards

Intended purpose(s) of the assessment To extend students’ knowledge on various topics taught in each class

Measure student knowledge of science content from the first 2 years of high school

Measure students’ growth in knowledge of each content area from the beginning of the year to the end

To measure student growth and comprehension each quarter

Intended use(s)1 of the assessment Enrichment of topics previously taught in class

See how much science content/knowledge students retain and compare us with other districts in the state

See student growth in major course subjects from the beginning of the year to the end

Teachers complete data analysis and reflect on concepts and standards taught and reteach as needed for better student understanding.

4 – teachers would not assign projects if they were not critical to their subject areas

2 – students are given an overall score out of 4; tests things they learned in 8th and early on in 9th grade as well as what they learned this year (a large amount of material over a long period of time); teachers use this and the provided strengths and weaknesses to adjust teaching strategies in these courses

2/3 – the growth students make indicates to us how much they have learned in each subject area over the course of the year based on required state standards

3 – results seem to somewhat correlate with quarter grades – helps teachers see if they need to reteach something (this can also be seen by smaller chapter tests and quizzes as well)

These times reflect the average time for students while they take certain assessments, RTI, State Testing and local unit testing. Students who are identified as needing help will take assessments on a regular basis to determine growth towards meeting their goals.

• Many tests are mandated by the Feds and the State.
