ELA SCORING
Attention all schools serving grades K-2:
This winter the Center will host
the 2008 NYC Scoring Collaborative, where charter school teachers score the open response portions of the New York State ELA and Math tests.
This
is a great opportunity for your staff to learn about the testing process and for your teachers to get experience scoring. If you are interested
in participating please email Nathan Hood
by Friday, December 21.
Holiday Greetings and Cheer, Grant Opportunity
As part of wishing everyone a happy holiday
and prosperous New Year (Click here to view interactive videocard), the Center is inviting all charter schools to apply for a $1,000
grant that will be used for a fun activity for school staff and or students in 2008. Please submit one paragraph that describes your
activity or project, targeted participants and associated costs. This is a one-time grant opportunity.
Please submit your entry in digital
