[Assessment_Advisory_Committee] Requesting Feedback for SAI KA Presentation

[Bill Stewart]

Jordan,

Much like Catherine and Brian indicated, we also use a transition week plan, which includes time to complete the literacy & numeracy components of the KA.  One of our goals is to make sure the KA administration is caring, friendly and non-threatening, while still adhering to the prescribed admin protocols....which I'm sure is true in S-K and TTSD as well.  We want to make each student's very first school experience as positive as possible.

Before the KA we used this time to administer the DRA/EDL, but now we give the KA first, and then part of the DRA/EDL as time allows, and the rest of testing is completed during class time.  With full-day kindergarten this coming year, we are only taking September 9-11 to test—less days than in past years.
