Studying for Tests
The document provides tips for effectively studying and preparing for tests. It discusses different types of test questions like true/false, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and essay. It emphasizes the importance of gathering information about the test, completing readings and assignments, taking good notes, and reviewing materials. The key recommendations are to focus on weak areas, set up a study group, share information with others, quiz yourself regularly throughout the term, and learn to apply concepts rather than just memorize facts. Proper preparation and effective study strategies can help make passing tests less stressful.
How to be Successful in Stats
The document provides tips for being successful in a statistics course. It recommends making a study plan, preparing for and attending class, taking notes, doing homework, finding a study buddy, keeping up with the work, preparing for tests and quizzes, and learning from mistakes. Key tips include attending class, practicing by doing homework, not getting behind, and reviewing past material in preparation for tests and quizzes.
Ccp grading standards
Miss Barkanic's class will have the following grading standards for physical science: homework must be completed 100% for full credit, but correctness will not be graded. Short quizzes will be given sporadically during each unit with at least 24 hours notice. Tests will be given at the end of each unit covering multiple choice, short answer, and other question types, with a week's notice. Missed work and exams are the student's responsibility to make up.
ELA Reflection
The teacher reflected on an ELA lesson about Harry Potter. Two things went well: the students were interested in the topic and enjoyed using Quizlet. However, the students were confused by the sorting activity categories. Most students scored at least 70% on the assessment. Going forward, the teacher would use fewer sorting cards and provide more modeling for activities. The experience taught the teacher to clearly define expectations and check for student understanding.

The ICE Model
The ICE model summarizes the key components of learning as Ideas, Connections, and Extensions. Ideas refer to basic facts and skills. Connections involve linking ideas together and applying ideas in new contexts. Extensions represent using ideas creatively and making novel inferences. The model suggests assessments should weigh Ideas less and Connections and Extensions more to align with curriculum goals of deep understanding over simple recall. It also helps ensure grades reflect higher order thinking beyond isolated skills or facts.
