[Counselors] State Testing

Tue Jan 26 11:03:41 CST 2016

We have tried this in the past.  The test seems to stall and the students
have to log back in after they have been kicked out.  My Tech guy has all
of my testing labs hard wired to prevent this.  I test 50 to 70 students a
session in multiple labs.

We were considering setting up a mobile lab with laptops to give us more
options for small groups and make-ups. Has anyone tried this? Pros and
Cons?

I hadn't considered storm season.....

We share computer labs with the High School so we start as soon as the
window opens.  We also start early because of storm season.  It has altered
our original plan in years past. 😬

The last 3 years, I ran the testing at the middle school level, but now
that I am at the high school level, I do not have to do that.  Last year, I
pushed it back as late as I could because our teachers really needed that
extra time for teaching because our test scores were very low the year
before.  Having more time for curriculum is a pro, but the cons are: do you
have enough computers to push it back, do you have enough time to get all
special-ed small groups done,  and will you have time for make-ups for
absent students?

We offered an attendance incentive, to ensure that students would be there
which helped on make-ups.  We had a big party the last week or 2nd to the
last week of school for those who just showed-up and behaved during all
testing days.

I hope this helps.

We start early and do make-up until the last minute

I work at a small K-12 school. We always start our younger student's
testing right away. It takes a long time even at a small school to do the
small groups with accommodations. Junior high and high school we spread out
a little more but try to be done by first week of May to allow time for
make-ups.  I have some teachers that like to wait for their students to be
tested last but I have too many variables to consider to do that every
time. It doesn't seem to make a difference either way. Most students are
just ready to get it over with.

HOW much time is enough time for makeups?

Have any of you noticed a significant difference in whether you begin
testing at the start of the window or kick all of the tests back as far as
possible in the window?
