Reminders:

-This doesn’t need to be a lengthy test! �-What data will be beneficial to compare to in April?�-The test can be in any form of your choosing.

-You will give the same test in April before your EOY conference.

(So keep your Fall and Spring data together, so that you have something to compare!)

28 of 49

WHEN BUILDING

YOUR PRE/POST TEST:

​

Before you reach for the multiple-choice option:

-What kind of student work would allow you to see real growth?

​

​

-Should I focus on content or the skill (reading a graph, analyzing a political cartoon, etc.) in my subject area?

-Could using open-ended questions that require students to write about

what they know, be helpful?

-Remember, especially in April, students will have done plenty of m/c tests.

29 of 49

-Administer Pre-test BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11TH.

-Review Pre-test data to determine student needs-let it be data you can use!

-Administer the post-test before April 19th

-Review data and prepare to discuss student growth during EOY conference.
