TIPS

1. For students who finish early, modify the semester survey I sent to your Friendship account and have them complete it. Mr. Horowitz came up with this contingency plan. Thanks, Mr. Horowitz, for sharing.

2. For those of you who are administering a test with a lunch in between the time, select a portion of your test to be taken before lunch. The other portion can be given after they return. This is a great way to get them to come back on time. Let them know that once they finish and turn in the first portion, they will not have a chance to get it back after lunch.

3. Please set policies in place for testing. Deny restroom passes unless it is an extreme emergency. Have students to check in their cell phoanes with you at the start of class. With technology, it's nothing for them to text and take pictures of exams. Yeah, I know. I'm being extra, but trust goes out the window this time of year. Bags and notebooks should be in one location. They should only take to their seats those items they need to take the test.

4. Since we spoke about parental/caretaker involvement in our session tonight, call a few parents to help you administer/proctor the exam. This should help you cut down on the Chatty Cathy epidemic. Another adult figure in the room can only help your cause.

I hope this helps.
