Practice AP Calc BC exam

On Saturday, May 4th the GT dept will offer an opportunity to practice taking the multiple choice section of the AP Calc BC exam starting at 11am in the JHS media center.  

Roger will administer a released exam from the college board so that students can have a test like experience before the exam to practice.  Students will not be able to take the exam with them but they will have the opportunity to see the answers afterwards and to take notes on what types of problems they struggled with.  Students will get 1 hour and 45 minutes to take the 45 question exam and then they can take up to an hour to correct it and take notes. 

Students should bring whatever calculator they plan to use on the exam to the practice exam so that they are practicing using it under test like conditions.  

Please RSVP to Roger Skophammer <rskophammer@isd271.org> by Wednesday, May 1st so that we have enough copies of the exam for the students.  - Meredith

Section I

Multiple Choice — 45 Questions | 1 Hour, 45 Minutes | 50% of Exam Score
  • Part A: 30 questions; 60 minutes (calculator not permitted)
  • Part B: 15 questions; 45 minutes (graphing calculator required)

DAHS Pre-ACT testing

We learned recently that covid contact tracings have identified several of our students who need to be put on quarantine. Because of this, these students will be missing this Saturday’s PreACT testing. We do have a virtual back up plan. If your child is feeling sick or suspects contact with someone who is positive for Covid, please do not send them for the testing this Saturday. Contact us for an alternative testing plan. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Why You Should Not Use Gifted Students as Tutors

I recently read this article and I think it's really interesting. I think the assumption that all bright students can be tutors is flawed. I think this will be an interesting piece to discuss with teachers. Meredith Why You Should Not Use Gifted Students as Tutors BY LISA VAN GEMERT LEAVE A COMMENT Gifted students should not be used as tutors for other students as standard practice. This should not be a controversial statement, and yet somehow it is. Gifted children should not be used as short little mini-teachers for other students for a number of reasons, not the least of which is they’re not good at it. Even if someone is unconcerned with what is fair or best for the gifted child him- or herself, the gifted child is not the ideal tutor. If we do concern ourselves with what is fair or best for gifted children, we must accept that the gifted child deserves more than that out of their education. While I’m the first to admit that teachers have more responsibility on them ...
