Science CGA Testing has been moved to Wednesday, August 27, 2014.
Reading CGA Testing will moved to Wednesday and Thursday, September 3-4, 2014.
Curriculum Guide Assessments are used to determine the following:
- How is the student improving in their knowledge of the main standards being taught.
- Are teachers teaching the standards in the curriculum guide. If so how effective was their instruction.
- The CGA's allow teachers to strategize what standards need to be taught and emphasized.
CGA Tests do not reflect on the students grades or report card. CGA Tests contain material that will be taught in 3rd grade. Consequently, the students may find they have difficulty in answering the questions. The baseline test establishes a baseline of what the student can do at the beginning of the school year.
We have completed the Math CGA's already, and you may have had feedback from your child that the test was very difficult and frustrating. As your child learns more third grade material, their CGA scores will go up.
If you have any specific concerns or questions about the beginning of the year diagnostic testing, please e-mail me at nixp@duvalschols.org.
