Tentative Schedule for Testing

Things teachers might ask:

1. What do we do if students have bandwidth issues while testing?

2. What do we do if their iPad malfunctions or loses power?
3. Will other grade levels be allowed to be on their iPads during testing?
4. Will teachers be able to access technology during testing this year?
5. Will all grade levels be on testing lockdown mode or will we operate on separate schedules?
What will those schedules look like?
6. If testing is over at 1, do we give 6th grade teachers a break? Or the exploratory teachers a
break?
7. Will Algebra I and English I teachers get more time for review with their kids during 6th grade
week?
8. Will all grade levels have silent lunch? For the grade-level testing week, those students testing
will have silent lunch.
9. Will all grade levels get recess?
10. If small group testing is happening all over the school, how are we going to make the not
testing groups silent during their transitions?
11. Self-Contained Kids - If their teachers are small group testing both weeks, will they be assigned
to a different classroom?
12. What will iPad pick up look like? Will we have class sets for the weeks we are not testing?
13. Are the students who are not allowed to have an iPad at school (according to their parent
preference) going to be allowed to test on iPads? Is this something we need to approve with
the parent?
14. Will students still have to wait until 11:00 to submit their test?
15. On Algebra I EOC day, will 6th grade follow the 8th grade schedule or the 7th grade schedule?
