Interims

I’m really looking forward to seeing the results of interims. As you’re administering the assessments, please don’t forget to give students an adequate amount of time to complete their test. This doesn’t mean however that testing sessions go on for an unreasonable length of time. A best practice is to break the test up into two sessions on two different days. It’s also best not to give two tests in one day. Thank you for ensuring that students have the best possible testing environment by implementing testing accommodations, adjusting the lighting in your room so that that it’s not too dark, rearranging desks to avoid distractions, and keeping the room calm and quiet.
