ACT practice test opportunity

It is not too late to sign up for the Practice ACT Test, a fundraiser for Jaguar DECA.

It will take place Saturday, February 4th, at 8:00 a.m. at Jefferson High School.  

Students will take a full ACT practice test (no written portion), including an extra reading section to gauge the students reading speed.  Sylvan Learning has found that reading speed is a large indicator on how well students do on the ACT.  

The tests are scored so students know how they did, including a diagnostic report and access to SylvanPrep.com.

On Monday, February 13th, at 6:30PM, Sylvan Learning will hold a results meeting in the cafeteria.  Students will get their results, learn how to read them, and get general information on how to improve their ACT score.  This meeting is designed for students and/or parents.

Students can sign up for the ACT Practice Test online at  Practice ACT Signup.  Payment can be turned into Ms. Linscheid in the Career Center by January 20th. If you have questions you can call Mr. Roesler (952) 806-7645 or email eroesler@isd271.org.

The cost is only $15.00, checks payable to ISD#271.

Seeing our kids learning!

I had the opportunity to see DA STEM 10th graders use tilt ,  seismic , and gas data from volcanos today.  It was great to see our students thinking as real geologists!   Later on I got to observe our new DA Honors 9 English class where they worked at stations to analyze short stories for illusion, personification, symbolism, irony, conflict, imagery, and characterization.  They did a great job applying these concepts in their small group discussions and digging into the texts! I look forward to more opportunities to see our students learning.

Gifted advocacy is an education

Gifted advocacy is an education 9/9/2019 (to see the original post click the link above) Gifted advocacy is a mixed bag. It is also an education. Advocacy, that unexpected, uninvited guest in the lives of a gifted child's family, is thrust upon them with little warning. Parents of gifted children find that they must educate themselves about giftedness -  and that   it falls upon them  to speak up for their child's needs. They must grasp the enormity of their child's intellectual and social/emotional needs (and sometimes,  twice-exceptional  challenges); assess the local school's limitations, the community's resources, and the state's gifted ed regulations and laws; and decide how to proceed with their child's schooling. Parents of gifted children receive a fast-track education into the world of giftedness and quickly develop a surprising level of expertise. They never bargained for this, yet find that they must assume the role of advocate. Frustrati...
