Support Group Meeting

This link will take you to the DOE website where they have just released the 2006 FCAT tests and answers for grades 3, 7, 9 and 10. The 2005 FCAT tests and answers for grades 4, 8 and 10 are also posted.

At your next support group meeting bring a copy of an old FCAT exam. Distribute the exams to the participants. Ask the participants to look at the tests with these questions in mind:
How are the questions worded?
What patterns do you see?

What skills do students need to be successful?

What instructional strategies could teachers use to help their students master those skills?
