At West Middle School Mrs. King's
math enrichment classes are off to a great start.
"We take all of our assessments
online in Datawise, a component of Class A," she said.
The students took their trimester 1 pretest
in the computer lab and entered their responses right on the computer.
The benefit of taking tests online is that there is no wasted paper (bubble
sheets); students get immediate results; teachers don't have to spend their
time scanning the answer sheets; and the grades are automatically imported into
the grade book.
The staff and students at West Middle
School had a school-wide Restorative Circle in which the students were asked to
explain what "respect" meant to them; student to student, staff to
student and student to staff.
After a lengthy discussion, the
teachers are taking the students comments and come up with a school-wide
definition that will be posted around the school for everyone to follow.
