Research the test results from the past year for a specific grade and subject in your school district. Post the link to the discussion forum.

• Write a letter to parents explaining how to read the test scores and what they mean.
• Explain how they will be used by you in your class.
  • Will you use them to improve instruction? Lobby your school district for more funding? Implement programs to help struggling students? For other purposes?
• Respond to one of your classmates. Pretend you are a parent in that class reading that letter.
  • Does it make sense to you?
  • What questions would you have as a parent?
  • How would you expect the teacher to respond?
