common set of Grade-Level Expectations, known as the New England
Common Assessment Program Grade-Level Expectations (NECAP GLEs), and
test specifications in Mathematics,
Reading,
and Writing.
These expectations were developed in response to the requirements of
the federally mandated No Child Left Behind Act, 2001 to test all
students, beginning in the 2005-2006 academic year, in each of
grades 3-8 in mathematics and reading/language arts.

CLASSROOM
ASSESSMENT
Students are assessed in various subject areas.
Assessments may be formal or informal. Students
will be responsible for preparing for written tests (weekly, chapter
or unit). Throughout the school year, students
will participate in writing assessments, oral reading assessments,
and cooperative group activities. Not only are
formal and informal tests important, but class participation,
cooperation, homework, and overall effort are essential in ensuring
student success. |
