Standardized TestingStudents at Charlottesville Catholic School take both the Terra Nova and the Assessment of Catholic Religious Education (ACRE) Standardized Tests. Every grade is not tested every year. Any standardized test is considered by the faculty and administration as one tool in the measurement of student progress. Each June following the testing, parents of students that were tested during the school year receive a "home report" in the mail that presents a student's test scores and other relevant information. Each September a learning plan is developed based on areas of strengths and weaknesses. Terra Nova TestingThe Terra Nova Standardized Test is administered once a year throughout the Diocese of Richmond in grades 1,3, 5 and 7. The primary purpose is to provide educators with specific information that assists them in making professional judgements. The results can be of a diagnostic nature and assists teachers in their annual curriculum plan. ACRE -Assessment of Catholic Religious Education TestingThe ACRE test is a religious education program assessment tool. It provides an overall picture of the catechetical/religious education effort at a Catholic school. With tested data, faith education leaders can expore areas of strength as well as areas that need additonal attention. Using the assessment annually allows leaders to identify the trajectory of their faith education efforts and track improvements as goals and strategies are changed or refined. |
