As of this morning, our NAT testing requirement has shifted to 10% of students on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Testing on these days is scheduled between 8:30-9:30am in the PAC Foyer. Staff are welcome to test at these times, but our current understanding is that this is not a requirement.

If this schedule remains in place for the week, we will not plan to NAT test Secondary students. We will be sure to communicate an updates. Please let the C19 team know what questions you may have.

Thanks!

Assessment Practices for Accelerating Learning (6-12) with Erma Anderson
Thursday, February 3 & 17, 2022
7:00 PM HKT
Formative assessment is critical for showing us what students have and have not learned. However, formative data does not always provide clear, actionable steps for determining where students are in their learning and how best to move learning forward. One way to use formative data more effectively is in conjunction with a quality learning progression, a blueprint for how learning typically develops over time.
