Inactive proctoring is passive sitting, using a device or not being attentive to the process.
  • Early Finishers: Student may not utilize ANY electronic device when they finish the test - this includes the Chromebooks. 
  • As students finish, collect the Chromebooks and advise students of what quiet and appropriate activities are available for them to work on as appropriate. Please see this attached list for Early Finisher Ideas

Teachers pass out the tickets, students sign and date them on the back & teacher selects 2 daily random winners from each period. Kiana has the incentive bags in her office. Please stop by to get yours! 
  • All Teachers present each day of testing will receive a ticket for every day they are at work during the testing window. Weekly winners will be drawn for exciting and tantalizing prizes!!
