January 28-March 22, 2019 English Learners are tested--generally English is not these students' first or home language. WIDA is the name of the agency that supports and manages the federally required ACCESS 2.0 Assessments. They are a series of 4 tests to measure students' proficiency in reading, writing, listening and speaking. These tests are scheduled individually.
Sandy Briscoe is the English Learners teacher in all three schools.
March 4-May 10, 2019 MCA-III, Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments, series III, for reading and math until May 4 and for science until May 10, are:
Reading and math tests for grades 3-8
Reading test for grade 10
Math test for grade 11
Science tests for grades 5, 8, and a science test for high school students enrolled in biology during the school year
Most students are assessed with computer delivered tests. Some special education students take a paper/pencil version of the tests. A designated person enters the student's completed test information online.
March 4-May 3, 2019 MTAS-III, Minnesota Tests of Academic Skills, are alternatives to MCA-III tests. They are administered to special education students with the greatest cognitive challenges. They are scheduled individually. Teachers enter test information online.
April 24, 2019 ACT, American College Testing, is a collection of college entrance assessments in English, reading, math and science, which will be offered to 11th grade students and any 12th grade students who have not taken the assessments as required by the Minnesota Department o Education. Students may take the ASVAB, an entrance test for joining the military, instead of the ACT.
