The principal said today that we aren't doing the "PCC" tests, which were a writing test. We will save monthly examples of student writing and pick one at the normal testing time to be evaluated on all 6 traits. That will be the district writing test. =3D) The principal is even buying plastic carry-alls for every teacher to save writing samples. She's committed! Next Thursday - first inservice at school. Wish me luck! Let us know how your experiments with 6 Traits are going.
