derived from State, Common Core
Standards, GLCEs or HSCEs.

Creating an Exam

PLC Teams work to create the exam and enter into Data
Director

Link the State Standards, Common Core, G.L.C.E./
H.S.C.E.s to the questions

Performance Bands are changed to reflect our school
goal (90% of all students earn 80% or better)

Exam is shared with all teachers in the content area

Every attempt is made to administer the assessment on
the same day to ensure consistency.

Each teacher is responsible for
scanning their own answer
documents.
 Each teacher prints off the results.
