Review of 2nd quarter assessments:

Kindergarten: changed everything to align it with the common core; more hands-on and experiential; parts administered one on one; everything in the revised assessment should be consistent with what every K teacher has been teaching and with materials all teachers should have available and that are standard. Scoring piece part of answer sheet; item analysis; all has been emailed to Michelle from Andrea Kortright today. Week of January 23rd. K needs copies.

First grade: Teachers at grade level in much the same place across the three buildings. Assessment was revised based upon shifts. Three questions were taken out and no questions were added. Answer sheet master on one test. Class sheet will be developed. One composite sheet for building. Week of January 23rd. 2 thirty minute periods across two days. The test will be read to all of the students. RES needs five more. KES needs 5 more.
