Day 40

We held a faculty meeting today and among the things we discussed was the kickoff of the PSSA season. I presented the testing calendar to the faculty and discussed the changes to the calendar, specifically, the schedule modifications we will need to make in how we conduct the science test. We also discussed the changes to the overall testing calendar that the state has indicated will occur next year.

I also discussed some of the changes to the test themselves. Specifically, I talked about the additional writing prompt and the change in the calculator policy. I thought it was important that the entire faculty be aware of these changes and not just the content area.

Finally, without going into much detail I quickly reviewed the PowerPoint, located on the PDE website, which discusses many of these things.
