I met with the Special Education department head to discuss modification that we can make to help our students with IEPs. Specifically, we are investigating the possibility of giving those students phys ed prior to taking the test. Research has shown that raising the heart rate first thing in the morning can lead to an increase in academic achievement.
The test administration handbook and proctoring manual for the writing exam arrived today. I have given these to the assistant principal in charge of testing. He has already been coordinating rooms and proctors for this test. The students will be taking the exam in their English classes, for 4 consecutive days, with minimal impact on the rest of the school. A large majority of the students will take the exam with their current English teachers.
