Standardize Testing
Today begins two weeks of standardize testing in my computer lab. This session will include all students in Grades 2-8! The tests can last more than one hour. Can you imagine taking an hour long test on the computer when you are seven years old?
I don't know about you, but I never liked the pressure of a standardized test. It always seemed like the results would decide my future. I guess they did. I don't remember many of the tests from K-12 but I do remember taking the NTE. (National Teachers Exam) I was 36 years old and I hadn't taken a standardized test for 18 years! I was terrified.
I pray that all of the students testing are able to relax, stay focused and remember all that they know during this Spring's testing period.
