If you don’t know me very well, you may be saying to yourself that I don’t like my students taking the test because we do poorly, which may reflect negatively on me. This is what I generally think about once our testing is finished…except replace “today” with “this week.” Not taking the test may have actually been one of the greatest successes to come out of last year. While there was a lot I missed about being at school, the one thing that I didn’t miss was having my students take our state assessment, ISASP (or Iowa Assessments previously). It was very difficult to simulate that form of communication online. That was great and I was happy for the communication, whether it was school related or not (I had a student email me at midnight one night with a screenshot of a movie she was watching just to let me know the main character looked like me.I love middle school), but I never realized how much I missed the student to student and teacher to student communication in the classroom until the pandemic. I got a hundred emails a day asking for feedback or to answer questions. I still provided optional assignments during that time. Like most everyone else, my school year last year “ended” due to COVID-19, and I was very sad that I wasn't able to see my students again and properly celebrate how successful they were.
