[CASL-L] RE: SBAC testing

[Kristine Woods]

I am at a 6-8 middle school.  We are testing all grade levels (~750
students), all 4 tests.  We have 8 teams and will use four weeks for
testing using three labs and the library.

In order to keep circulation going (because the library is a testing site),
I made a Google book request form and put the link on my Destiny homepage
and created a bit.ly link.  Students enter books they want from their
classrooms (ELA classrooms have a few computers) and we fill the requests
with a team pick up at 12:20 and 2:00 daily.  I am keeping the requests on
the form so I have data on the impact on circulation (and doing this
instead of official "hold" requests in Destiny).  I am using this time to
do a major weeding project as well as select and enter the iCONN audiobook
and eBook MARC records into my catalog (see iCONN - For Librarians page for
the MARC records).  I also plan to do some professional development through
webinars.  Today I was able to participate in the School Leadership Summit
at http://admin20.org/page/summit.
