How much time will be spent specifically on preparing students to take the MSAs and HSAs?
We do not currently plan to spend any classroom time that is specifically aimed at preparation for State mandated tests. Our curriculum meets or exceeds the Maryland State Voluntary Curriculum and the MSAs and HSAs are based on the voluntary curriculum. Our expectation is that if we are properly engaging the students in the material required by the state, they shouldnt have any problem taking tests based on that material.
