As a team this year, we rocked. I would have liked one more sub but that might not have helped. We managed to get all but 18 students of somewhere around 300 students tested in Reading. Testing was online and we used two labs and one Testing Server.
I really liked what we did this morning. I pulled all the missing kids schedules and we sent subs to get the kids. We put them on a computer and tested them as soon as we found them, so we were able to return the labs to regular use by 6th period.
I didn’t take a break, as there is really no place I can go to get peace and quiet other than my own lab. If I go to the teacher’s lounge I end up working, which wears me out.
We had minor glitches with the Install software, major problems in the Business lab, and one computer was acting up in mine. Not sure what was up with it.
We have TAKS testing — old style — and then Online Benchmark testing in May. I’ve got two kids studying for the AP Computer Science test — they freaked out earlier this week, but I think my stress was rubbing off on them.
It will be nice to see my own kids again. I haven’t seen most of them for three days.
