(180 minutes, 2 sessions of 90 minutes, 3 sessions of 60 minutes) What are the test dates? What accommodations are needed? What is our contingency plan? Does the assessment have a Technical Manual to review? What resources do we have to help students become “test-wise”?

  24. Why do all of this? • It is best for students! • It really links the various levels of education. • It causes academic courses and CTE degree major courses to have a linkage. • It gives faculty members a reason to work together. • It puts a“reason”into what students are learning. Bottom line….. • It is best for students!
