Forward Exam

An online assessment for Wisconsin students, developed with Wisconsin educators.  English language arts and mathematics in grades 3 through 8,
and in science and social studies in grades 4 and 8. 

Moving Forward

For those of you that know the game of hockey or soccer, you understand the difference between Defense and Forward. Hana has played Defense for the past 3 years, but was put in the position of Forward, with no warning or practice, this weekend.  She wanted to play her best, but was unprepared and inexperienced.  It was the coach's belief that she has played the game long enough, that it shouldn't matter.

It reminded me a little bit of our preparation for the Forward exam!  We are getting bits of information quite close to the testing window, but as educators we aren't sure what to expect.  As a district, we are doing our best to share the information we are getting - but also want teachers to know that we believe that what you do each day is preparing our students for whatever "the test" may hold.

We will meet Thursday for all teachers in grades 3-5 and anyone involved in the Spring Assessments.   Prior to our meeting, please review the link below to determine any questions you have so we can address them Thursday morning.  Fafani and Jamie are working on special ed accommodations.

Please be patient as we work through the details together!  And let me know if you have any preliminary questions!

Have a great week!
