ESSA - tell me what you know

[Narelle01]

I am dealing with this for the first time, I have been informed that all the stuff has arrived!!!

How come this is your responsibility? Isn't it a science test, therefore the function of the teachers to implement it?

[Narelle01]

i just had to check the materials...they send pencils with the papers and stimulus booklets.

we have enough to cover everyone

the staff / science teachers will be implementing. ESSA seems to be a big deal?

[dime]

It is a state wide science test for 7-10. Not sure if it is to highlight if science is being taught in context.

I have had this task also.
You should have a number of sheets of paper with instructions. (Hint: don't misplace)
Instructions are straight forward, so, don't panic.
Check contents of boxes same as on list.
I had to get class lists and supply according to those.
When all are collected, keep following instructions.
I had to do tally sheets and send off as well.

Another talent for the resume

Good luck

[Labbie]

True True, but some times we do get asked to check the contains of the boxes. I know I have done it a few years ago, and again this year. Just check you have enough papers, pens & booklets for all of your year 8, lock them away, until 23 Nov 2010.

[Narelle01]

checked and locked away =)

wonder what happens to the 204 pencils after the test.......???

[cactus155]

throw them out as the kids would have most likely chewed on the ends of them

[fibreweb]

We keep them for use throughout the next year for the myriad of kids that neglect to bring a pencil to school.

We are doing it on line as I think it will go that way very soon.
Keep the booklets and pencils as they offten use it as a test fro the next year.
