This training helps teachers to combine new teaching materials and good classroom practice. They help to target learning goals, classroom materials, and classroom practice that meet the needs of all students. Curriculum and Instruction is also responsible for assessment. Assessment helps us to know how students are learning. Often we think of this as the major tests that happen once or twice a year.
Assessment is much more than that.
The assessment activities in Chambersburg Area School District are based on the notion that many different approaches are important, and that the results need to be used to guide teaching. The Curriculum and Instruction department coordinates district and state tests, develops test activities as needed, and provides training in assessment for teachers and other staff. These national tests provide information about how our students do compared to a norm group of students throughout the country. The PSSA measures how well our students meet state learning standards in reading, writing, and math. All PDF files require Adobe Acrobat Reader.
