Who is responsible for getting students to the benchmark expectations?
Teachers in grades leading up to a benchmark year will all work toward helping students achieve benchmark expectations. For example, K-3 teachers may work together as a team to prepare students for the grade 3 benchmarks. Teachers in grades 4 and 5 may work together to help students achieve the grade 5 benchmarks, and so on. The benchmark expectations are not solely the responsibility of teachers in grades 3, 5, 8, 10 and 12. All teachers will help students prepare for the benchmark expectations.
