Proctoring at SHHS

On Monday and Wednesday, I had the pleasure of proctoring for the 8th grade at Science Hill. I was placed in a small group classroom. These students were tested over Mathematics and Social Studies while I was in there. This particular class was made up of four students. These students had and IEP/ special for the test, which was the teacher read every single question and answers on the TCAP test. During the TCAP, I was asked to sit there so I caught up on my recreational reading time. But during the test, I would catch some of the questions being read. I thought they seemed really difficult. I do not remember TCAPs being so advanced but maybe it seemed difficult to me because I have not studied 8th grade mathematics or social studies in 9-10 years. I can only hope that one day TCAPs will not be the only evaluator of how well a student learns.
