I am a primary teacher, doing supply work now but I recognise the obsession with testing which has taken most of the enjoyment and professional job satisfaction out of teaching over here. Your 'team teaching' arrangement sounds great.Jennytchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621488409334115930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916906.post-1145044116071927192006-04-14T14:48:00.000-05:002006-04-14T14:48:00.000-05:00Thanks, eht.

They'll use it in life just as any other kind of literacy.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it hilarious that we never thought of marking on the sacred books? It's that same revelation that brought us to teach this kind of literacy.<BR/><BR/>I don't know that this deserves a whole entry, I so desperately want to blog about something other than testing, but our administration is messing with our tried and true testing schedule so I hope our efforts show. I also hope that if they pay off, they won't be chalked up to our wretched new testing schedule.educathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03927744738999545249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916906.post-1145027334959525882006-04-14T10:08:00.000-05:002006-04-14T10:08:00.000-05:00Thanks for posting your team's test review strateg...Thanks for posting your team's test review strategies. I like how you were all responsible for an area. <BR/><BR/>Early on this year we found out students would be allowed to make marks in their test booklets. We spent time to teach them how to mark the text to locate certain passages that were focus areas for questions. Several students marked their text during the test. I'm interested to see if this process has any bearing on scores. Aren't post-it notes great? I wish I had invented them.EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.com
