Dear Adams' Fam!!

😍 Pop Quiz - what is Arizona's State Test to measure students' acquisition of the standards called???? Were you able to answer without looking up the answer? Don't feel bad if you were not able to, it's been changing almost annually for a few years now and Hollie, Renee and myself were having this discussion a little over a week ago and none of us knew off the top of our heads! It is the Arizona Academic Standards Assessment or AASA for short. I know it is hard to make gains when we keep changing the instrument to measure those gains BUT I also know we are doing MANY awesome things here at Adams that will be evident, eventually in our students' growth. When I was in the classroom, it definitely helped when I as the teacher had a solid understanding of how students were being tested so I could help them navigate the assessment so since none of us have seen the AASA, I highly suggest you take a look at the ADE Assessment Page to see what you can garner from that to help support your students so we can prove how much learning has occurred this school year at Adams!

Adams team - We got this!

Thank you,
