Anyone out there doing anything especially cool to get kids
ready for the 7th grade math WASL? I hate to teach to the
test but am sort of being forced to - the boss says, "Someday
they are going to hold teachers individually responsible for
their students' WASL scores." Sheesh. Give me a break. The
7th grade WASL holds no meaning for these kids.
I've been doing WASL type problems at least once a week since
September but I find that many of the kids don't even have
the basic skills (times tables!) and aren't willing to
attempt harder material for fear of failure.
Our school hasn't done stellar on the math WASL and I think
if we don't do well this year, I might try switching to 8th
grade because I have run out of ideas to implement in 7th.
Let someone else take the heat...
Any ideas? I've surfed the web, used old WASLs, etc.
