Teaching and Learning Target • I have a plan to support teachers with analyzing and implementing corrective instruction based on Benchmark Data and i. Ready Growth Monitoring Data. LKES 1: Instructional Leadership LKES 3: Planning and Assessment

Teaching and Learning Suggested Benchmark Assessment Testing Conditions • The Benchmark should be administered by the classroom teacher or Certified Designee. It is highly recommended that a benchmark assessment NOT be administered by a substitute. • Communicate the Benchmark testing window and purpose to students and parents. • Each benchmark assessment should be administered during one class period for the following five assessments: Reading Assessment, Writing Assessment, Mathematics Assessment, Science Assessment, Social Studies Assessment. • Build time in your administration schedule for make-up days. • The Benchmark testing environment should mirror the Georgia Milestone testing environment. • Post "Testing in Progress" signs outside of classroom doors during administration • Limit interruptions (i. e. intercom announcements, loud hallway noise) • Well-lit classroom • Arrange desks or tables to ensure that each student has adequate workspace for all required test materials • The classroom teacher/designee should circulate the classroom to ensure that all student responses are recorded correctly.
