I know I haven't been blogging lately, but that is because I have been writing this really long article on the Process Standards. Its an online workshop to help teachers learn their process standards in four easy steps. I am almost finished with it, and as soon as I get finished with it I will start publishing my blog. I have a lot to share with you, I'm just a little preoccupied with this thing and I HAVE TO FINISH IT!!!! (sigh)
In the meantime, super important, I want to let you know that I ran across this Lead4ward resource that I'm not too sure everyone has heard about. The commissioner added another phase to our STAAR accountability. So instead of phase 3 being the final phase, now there is an additional phase! (GASP!) I know, right? He also lowered the expectation on the accountability for phase 2 and 3 before the final phase! You can see this new change from TEA in the new Raw Score Conversion table from Lead4ward (Click on the link to get there.)
Just a little something for you to chew on while I finish this Process Skill Article.
