How do teachers prepare all students for the test at their grade level?
In order to prepare all students for the grade level exams when they may be performing below the grade level materials, explicit test prep activities must occur. It simply is not fair to plunge students into test situations without some familiarity with the types of tests, the types of questions, and the guidelines for acceptable responses. Using sample questions, test-taking strategies and attention to the tricks of testing well are appropriate preparation techniques. However these test prep strategies must be in balance with the teaching/learning processes of the class.
