My experience is that things like this die down after a little time, and I am hoping it will be the case here as well. It's hard for an art teacher to do well on a teacher assessment that was completely structured for a math class. Best of luck and try not to let it spoil your feelings about the REAL reason we are in the classroom!Hope Hunter Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815277347271501092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732090973796737254.post-22775542379177174512013-01-21T07:48:42.212-05:002013-01-21T07:48:42.212-05:00So scary!

NJ tried to create a state written assessment for the Visual and performing Arts many years back when they started using the state mandated ASK Tests. It was a complete disaster!!! After testing it out in a few pilot districts they decided to bail on trying to test us in written form. Now with all the new teacher evaluations part of my eval will include my student assessments. I have to be able to show documented growth from Sept to June. Luckily I have a very supportive and knowledgeable principal working with us. Good luck with your evaluations!Mrs. Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750438627381465213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732090973796737254.post-23600632625272005122013-01-21T02:26:47.619-05:002013-01-21T02:26:47.619-05:00ugg!
