-An assumption we can make about students and their learning is that students who completed the assessment in under 20 minutes did not have the stamina to sit through the length of this assessment.  
-An assumption that we can make based on the data for 10th grade ICT classes in the category of understanding key ideas, details, & connections is that having a general education teacher and a special education teacher in the classroom benefits the students' understanding in this category.]]> 2021-11-02 13:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cahugg/d6pffxnd8y93rbhy/wish/1861612858 Students should have the same exam, with the same questions for a better analysis of skills. awhitney7 https://padlet.com/cahugg/d6pffxnd8y93rbhy/wish/1861620195 Timing can be regulated and monitored to ensure students take allotted time and don't rush.

-We would like to see more transparency with regard to the purpose of the test.  If the students understood why they are taking this test, they would probably take it more seriously.  
-This conversation makes us think about how often the students are tested and the stress that they may feel knowing that they have to take these standardized tests along with multiple Regent exams at the end of the year.

-Designing instruction that connects this specific skill set of understanding key ideas, details, & connections to both English and social studies classes. Perhaps in another PD session, our group could meet to collaboratively create materials (e.g. graphic organizers) we could use in both content areas. 
-Meeting back with this specific group to analyze the data after the students take this assessment again in the winter. Meeting and discussing the implications of this data with teachers who teach ICT and know the strengths and struggles of teaching a class that is also Regent-based was very helpful.]]> 2021-11-02 13:57:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cahugg/d6pffxnd8y93rbhy/wish/1861715925 I am comfortable with using student Lexile scores but I am wondering how the RIT score compares.

The lexiles I indicated when teaching research are very basic, but are helpful for those students who may need an easier text to read or for those who prefer a higher reading level text. Also, for those who are not proficient in English, the databases can be translated into various languages and can also be read to the students. So there are various ways for a librarian to show students different levels of interpreting and understanding information. Teachers may also indicate to the librarian if they need to work with specific students with certain lexile levels. https://padlet.com/cahugg/d6pffxnd8y93rbhy/wish/1861809685 2021-11-02 14:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cahugg/d6pffxnd8y93rbhy/wish/1861809685 Implications gmilos https://padlet.com/cahugg/d6pffxnd8y93rbhy/wish/1861820180 By observing low level vs. high level student Lexile scores, we can observe patterns and trends and make inferences about the content area over time.]]> 2021-11-02 14:27:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cahugg/d6pffxnd8y93rbhy/wish/1861820180 Class Placement https://padlet.com/cahugg/d6pffxnd8y93rbhy/wish/1861832022 Should students who are reading at a 6th grade reading level be placed in AP and Honors classes because they are fantastic students?
