STAR Assessment:
The Diocese of Trenton is committed to increasing student achievement, monitoring student growth, and providing strong, differentiated instruction to ALL students in the areas of reading and math. These efforts support the Diocese’s mission to “unlock each student’s full potential.” The use of Renaissance STAR 360 assessments allows your child’s teacher to determine exactly what “he/she already knows” in order to prepare targeted instruction and intervention as needed.
Your teachers will be emailing you with detailed dates and times for your child’s testing.
On Test Day
Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and eats a healthy breakfast
Many teachers report that students who don't do well on tests haven't gotten enough sleep and haven't eaten breakfast on the morning of the test. Doing both of these things will ensure that your child is working at full capacity (Narang, 2008).
Remain positive
Staying calm will help your child stay calm. If she/he gets nervous about the test or is likely to experience anxiety during the test, help her/him practice some relaxation techniques that they can try once they’re taking the test (Narang, 2008)
