    Instructional Highlight!

    SBAC - Testing begins when we return from break in April. In the meantime, teachers have already started prepping their classes for success on the test. From reviewing scores of previous years as a way to demonstrate the upward trend, and setting up Do Now’s in each class to help students be comfortable with the style and structure of the assessment.  

    We know that our classes are addressing the content that will be on the test, and believe that our scores have been lower due to potential confusion of the testing interface as well as a lack of motivation. Remember to talk your students up for the test by letting them know it is connected with CSU and Community College entry-level placement, and that part of our goals as students of life is to try our best in everything we attempt.

    The Benchmarks this past year have helped our teachers and students become more comfortable with the CAASPP system, which should also help.

    Please make sure to talk about the upcoming assessment for SBAC in your class.

    Student Behavior

    Pro-tip: Incorporate physical movement into your classroom behavioral management. An easy example of understanding your placement around the classroom. Keep your back to a wall when addressing the class to see everyone, use proximity of closeness when addressing specific student behavior, be aware of conversations and your own voice level (it matters to kids who hears what you tell them), and finally at the end of class, stand near the doorway as kids pack up to make sure that students don’t leave early.
