As a special education teacher in a New Bedford elementary school I spent between 1 and 1/2 to 4 hours administering tests on 64 mornings. You read that correctly...64 sessions of testing!!! Oh, by the way I also administered testing to 9 students for initial or re-evaluation meeting, another average of 3 hours per student and attended 24 team evaluations that last between 1/2 hour and 1 and 1 and 1/2 hours. Am I the only one who thinks this sounds ridiculous?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
