ACT Aspire Test Preparation

What is the ACT Aspire and where can I go to learn more about it? http://www.discoveractaspire.org/ ACT Aspire Grades: Third Grade through Eighth Grade ACT AspireTM is a computer-based, longitudinal assessment system that connects growth and progress from elementary grades through high school in the context of college and career readiness. Assessing students’ knowledge and skills is critical to ensuring all students receive the support and services necessary to help them succeed in school and life. The essential, actionable information and insights gained from ACT Aspire Assessment System® help educators understand a student’s past, capture the present, and impact the future.

more information about each test. Our students will be taking the Reading and Math portions of the test. Here is more information about each test.

So, what’s going to be on the test? The ASPIRE is aligned with the Common Core standards. http://www.thecurriculumcorner.com/thecurriculumcorner123/wp-content/pdf/ican/icanmonitorcheckboxes3cute.pdf Math Common Core Flipbook http://alex.state.al.us/ccrs/sites/alex.state.al.us.ccrs/files/Grade%203.pdf Parent’s Guide to Student Success http://jessicaweldon.weebly.com/3rd-grade-school-success.html

Test Taking Strategies Other things to note… *Students have to be able to utilize a test booklet, and an answer document. While they can write in the test booklet to work out their problems, they have to transfer their answer to their answer document. So we will be working with the students to learn how to do this by using the scantron testing cards. *Teachers have strict testing instructions to which we must adhere. Teachers are not allowed to read anything to the students without special accommodations! Not even a word on a math problem. Test Taking Strategies http://jessicaweldon.weebly.com/actaspire.html
