SAT
School-Wide Initiative
Through data received about our Gwynn Park
students, it has been proven that scores on standardized tests
are low because of vocabulary and reading levels. Because of
this information, our “SAT Initiative” for the school year 2006
– 2007 is outlined as followed:
§
“SAT Word of the Day” – Each day, a
vocabulary word will be introduced via public announcement. It
is encouraged that teachers include the word of the day in their
lessons. (i.e. including the word as part of the warm-up,
posting word on a “word wall, mini quizzes on the words, etc.) A
school wide test (provided) will be given every two weeks.
This test will be given 1st period ONLY. This
begins today, October 3, 2006.
§
SAT Board – In each classroom, teachers
need to create a board or some kind of space for the placement
of all SAT information (i.e. SAT test dates, websites, “SAT Word
of the Day”, etc.) Information for this board will be provided.
Please have boards/space ready by Friday, October 13, 2006
Any questions please contact Melissa Osborne (mosborne@pgcps.org)
