How do you do a growth assessment without giving it multiple times?  You can't just do year to year because there's too much mobility/intervening factors to assess growth.  Good assessment is a learning experience just as much as instruction.  Look at the test and see if you think your kid learns through doing it. [/quote]

Give it at the beginning and end of the year. Don't give it during the middle of the year.

There is way too much time spent on assessments and testing. All of that is time that could be spent on teaching. I understand needing assessments at the beginning of year and at the end of the year but let's choose one and be done with it. If a kids results look wonky or they do poorly, then test those students with a different test.

I want to maximize the time teaching. Sick of hearing about assessments. [/quote]
