Acuity
As of this year we are doing Acuity testing as benchmark testing for all students in grades 3 and 4. We are soon going to add 2nd grade testing as well. The problem that we are coming across is that the building only has one computer lab. We do have 2 eMints classrooms, but they only have 12 computers in each room. We are finding it difficult to complete the testing which is taking up to 2 hours per student per session in communication arts and math. Using the computer lab for this extensive amount of time is requiring relocation of the computer teacher during his class time, thereby making it difficult for him to meet his required expectations. We are also finding that we have to relocate the two eMints classrooms so that their classrooms may be used for testing. This is affecting their curriculum as well. I would love to hear about other schools and what they are doing to complete any online testing. With MAP testing going online soon, what are schools with limited computer access doing in an effort to accommodate the high amount of testing that will be occurring online?
