My district mandates a formative (district made with teacher input) every 3-4 weeks, and a summative or trimester test before report cards. We use a program called "Measures" that allows you to see how your class performed overall and by individual standards. I feel like we test, test, test, test. The district also pulls the trimester scores and compares schools. Unfortunately they are comparing EO schools to Title 1 schools and the latter don't fare as well. Bah Humbug...for testing. Yes, the info drives the curr. but I feel we are cheating the students in so many ways. I just don't agree to teaching to the test. Probably didn't answer your question, but it felt good to share.
