NGAP Assessment


Parents,

At my Principal’s Coffee there was a request by some of the parents to take a sample test of what the new state testing will look like in 2014-15.  Kent ISD developed a prototype assessment from test items released by the organization developing the assessment.  We asked our teachers to take this test earlier this year.  The rationale for attempting the assessment is to recognize the level of complexity the new standards will be requiring of our students.  The middle school test is based on the 7th grade Common Core State Standards.  There are options for fourth and eleventh grade as well.

We are unsure how the system will handle a lot of parents accessing this at the same time.  If you experience difficulty, try using it at another point in the day.  One thing that we found is that it is not as successful when using Internet Explorer.  I recommend Mozilla Firefox, a free download, or Safari on Apple devices. Here is the website:


Once you access the site, here is the username and password to access the test:

Username: spartaparent
Password: ngap

If you take the assessment, I would love your feedback and thoughts.  Thank you for your time and consideration.
