Moving to the Common Core

M-STEP year two (and last year?) what's up with that?

Wow, It's been a year since I've posted here!  Yikes!  I've been so busy I haven't even thought about this lonely old blog.

So, it seems as though M-STEP will be going away.  I just don't understand how we can continue to be evaluated with a new test every year.  Really... next year will be our third new test.  I guess I feel that if the state doesn't feel it's a good test for kids, how can they feel that it's still okay to evaluate us using it?

Go figure...

Anyway, the good thing is that they now have come out with student tutorials :)

Here's the link:

Happy testing :)

M-step

Boy am I glad the M-step is over!  I do wish that our classes would have spent more time on the practice page set up by MDE.

It's been a long time, but I found another good site.  This one is for statistics lessons.

Love this website from Arkansas.gov
