  Case: Unit Assessments
My 1st graders are required to take unit assessments in which data has to be reported to the district. I find these assessment to be very lengthy and complex for 1st graders' developmental levels. Would you all suggest administering parts of the assessment in multiple days to not overwhelm the students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would first speak to the second grade teachers and see what is expected of students on assessments for them. Ideally, you want to prepare your students for the rigor of the next grade level. However, it may be beneficial to your young learners if you begin by administering the test in parts so they can adjust to it and eventually build them towards completing the assessment all at once.

Comments: Though this is a good idea I think focusing on the task at hand is most important. I would talk to the second grade teachers, it would create more stress to succeed. Also make sure to talk to administration before breaking up the test.

Comments: Students need time to prepare for the next grade level, so you shouldn't expect them to take lengthy and complex tests right away.

Comments: I would not use this solution. As a teacher, you should know the standards, or have the resources to find them. Advice for how other teachers administer their tests is different.
