Preparing for Standardized Tests!

The second half of the school year is here and many students and educators are preparing for state standardized tests. These tests can put a lot of stress on the students and faculty because they can either make you or break you. In most states the only way to be promoted to the next grade or receive a high school diploma is  to pass the test. If the test is not passed, the student will have to retake the test, take developmental classes or remain in a specific grade level until the test is passed. Below are links to great tips and brief overviews for both the teachers and parents that can be used to prepare their students. 

Enjoy!
