Call in case of an emergency: Tamela Anderson (C 330-256-5655). • 2. Grade books and lesson plan books are in the main office. See Jim if you need them. • 3. Pick up OGT Tests in Room 102 the day you are giving them. OGT Tests are due in Room 102 immediately following the exam. • 4. Supervise your students when on break. Do not shake the vending machines, if an item fails to come out, just have the student write his/her information on a piece of paper and turn it in to me. • 5. Attendance (and punctuality) are crucial. Explain to your students the policy: If s/he misses any part of an hour of intervention, the time must be made up before s/he may take the exam again.

  4. Teacher Letter (cont.) • 6. Students are still enrolling Monday, so your class list may change slightly. • 7. Please call me immediately to let me know that students are absent. I will call home immediately. • 8. Please keep a list of your students’ names and phone numbers with you in case of an emergency. • 9. Explain to students there are no discipline problems for OGT Intervention. If they disrupt the educational process, they are gone. Old Student Agenda’s with school rules are available for non-Copley students, but common sense school law is basically in effect at all times (i.e. no fighting, no smoking, etc.) • 10.

  6. What are the Ohio Graduation Tests (OGT)? • The Ohio Graduation Tests are tests that students must pass in order to earn an Ohio high school diploma. • They measure content learned through the end of 10th grade in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies.

  7. Why do 10th graders have to take the test? • To confirm that all Ohio students who receive a high school diploma can demonstrate at least a high school level of achievement. • To measure the level of reading, writing, math, science, and social studies skills expected of students by the end of 10th grade. • To meet federal law for high school testing.

  16. 3 Key Components To Passing a Test Good Test Taking Skills Content Knowledge Self Confidence

  17. Test-Taking Tips for Students • Analyze the question. Do NOT rush through the question. Read ALL of it! • Use knowledge to rule out wrong answers for wiser guesses. • The test booklet is scrap paper. Cross out unnecessary or extra information, underline key words, or what information isn’t needed. • Find the distracters in the multiple choice questions. • Never leave a question blank. • Don’t waste energy trying to race other questions, or on one question going over it again and again. • Practice good time management. Answer the easier questions first so there is more time for answering the harder ones, or returning to double check answers.

  18. More Tips for Students Get plenty of rest Eat breakfast each day Dress comfortably Be confident of your ability Give your best effort

  19. Self-Confidence for Students • Think Success • Keep your thoughts positive • Turn negative thoughts into positive ones • Tell yourself you will do well on the exam • Relaxation Techniques: Deep breathing, imagine yourself in a calm place
