Parent Information
STANDARDS UPDATE
The new mathematics standards were approved upon first reading by the State Board of Education (SBE) last Wednesday. The vote was unanimous, similar to the January vote on the new ELA standards. The next step is to secure certification by state colleges and universities that the standards will prepare students for college.
Both the ELA and math standards must also be approved by the Education Oversight Committee. Once the SCDE secures their approval and concludes the certification process, the standards go back to the State Board for second (final) reading approval. If all goes well, that final approval will come during the March 11th State Board meeting. For more information, click on the "New Standards" button on the SCDE's homepage.
ASSESSMENTS
New laws passed by the South Carolina General Assembly have resulted in new tests that will be administered during the spring of 2015 throughout our state.Students in Grades 3-8 will take a new, timed test this school year called ACT Aspire. In Richland Two, our students will take the paper and pencil ACT Aspire tests for writing, English, reading and mathematics. They will not take the optional ACT Aspire test for science that some districts may use. This new test will help teachers understand where their students are succeeding and where extra help or academic focus is needed. By having a better understanding of a student’s skills, abilities, and knowledge, parents and teachers can determine what students need to know to be successful in school in the future.
Students in Grades 4-8 will continue to take SCPASS for science and social studies. Schools have the option of administering SCPASS as an online test or a paper and pencil test. Third-graders will not take any state tests for science and social studies.
For more information on ACT Aspire, visit the Richland Two Assessment Web page by clicking here or the S.C. Department of Education’s ACT Web page by clicking here.
