MS Understanding Exams Schedule with Dan Keller

4/23/2019 6:30 PM to 4/23/2019 7:30 PM

Roche Lecture Hall

We are nearly one month away from exams in the middle school. If it feels a bit earlier, it is! As you know, after (one/two) years of reflection and research, the middle school decided to move exams from our typical time in June to May so that teachers and students may use the exams not only as a way to measure learning but also as a way to inform knowledge and skill gaps in each student with time to address those gaps before year’s end, so they may learn the class material best. Included in this timeline is time and commitment for each student to reflect on their study skills before the exams.

*Please join Dan Keller, middle school head, and Laura Drossner, English department chair, on April 23 at 6:30 pm in Roche Lecture Hall (in Creeden Hall) to gain a better understanding of this intiative and to ask questions of the value of moving exams earlier in the year.
