It's that time...
PSSA!!!!
Hmmmm... not that excited? Me neither however, after today (the first day) I'm proud to report things that will surely excite you!
I saw:
Students using graphic organizers
Students drawing pictures to figure out a problem
Students giving each other high fives after the test
Students fighting every desire to quit
Students light up inside when they figured out a problem
I heard:
Students encouraging one another before the test
Teachers giving pep talks that were full of love
It was a good day!
Many people complain about these tests and while I don't particularly care for them or that our funding is based on the results, I do recognize the fact that because of the value of these tests, instruction is more data driven to get the best results possible and it has really forced school districts to look at the way we teach and what we teach.
The levels of instruction and learning have never been higher!
