Although we believe it is unethical to 'teach the test', we will be helping our students in all grades become familiar with the testing format and learn strategies to lessen 'test stress'. Worksheets similar to the Terra Nova test will be used thoughout the year. In September, I will be having a meeting to pass out the results of last year's test and explain how to read them. I will also demonstrate the techniqes the teachers will be using and show samples of the worksheets. I encourage all of you (even if you don't have a student taking a test this year) to make every effort to attend. Over the past 6 years, our test scores have greatly improved and we believe we have some new methods to keep this improvement going.
