Ok, fellow educators, feel my pain. I was just told I will be giving an End of Course assessment to my students next year. This will take the place of their final, be 20% of their grade, and be the biggest part of our school's accountability score. When I asked if the test (a state initiative) will be aligned with our core content (from the state) the answer is "probably not." When I asked when I would get the new science standards we are responsible for teaching, but probably won't be aligned with the test, the answer is "maybe this Christmas, maybe next Christmas."
Ok kids, I guess we'll just hope for the best!
UPDATE: In my first test results I was slightly above average for the state. With a little "live and learn" I'm hoping to improve on that.
