New Testing Program for Grades 3 – 8
Please review the following information from the Archdiocese of Hartford in regards to the new, adaptive assessments our grade 3 – 8 students will participate in this school year. The testing will provide teachers with a detailed baseline assessment of each student in their class to help them better customize lessons throughout the school year.
During the week of September 12 the students will be taking practice tests on their technology device, practicing “think alouds”, and being able to experience this new testing platform while working through any questions with their teacher’s assistance.
During the week of September 19, students will take their first MAP assessments in reading, language usage, and mathematics.
You will note in the information below that the tests are also available for students in grades 1 and 2, however Saint James School will be implementing this program only for grades 3 – 8 at this time.
