Performance, Performance, Performance! That is what we are expecting our children to do on the upcoming state testing. If your state is participating in the new Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBAC), you need to know how to best prepare your learners for the performance portion of the test. More importantly, these strategies will help them become better writers and researchers.
The same format we use to organize student research will help students succeed on the performance portion of the test. In this session we will show you:
• Examples of what your child will see on the performance based test.
• How to create a research folder to organize student thinking.
• How to read for understanding and take notes effectively.
• How to use notes to write a well-crafted paragraph
