FCAT Writing 2014 Reflection: It was difficult testing in different rooms, as opposed to using the media center, because I had to create seating charts with beginning and ending times for each room. Instead of creating one seating chart for the media center, I had three seating charts for each classroom, as well as three "sign-in" sheets for each classroom. Also, I had to remove all the charts from the walls and replace them in all three classrooms. The benefit of the small rooms was that the students were in a familiar writing environment and were comfortable, ready to do their best. Something to remember: During the Mock FCAT Writes, we had some confusion about students who are labled ELL as well as ESE. Be sure the ELL students who are also ESE don't get accidentally placed in the testing room with the ELLs. Also look ahead at the district schedule in order to plan the Mock Writing test on the same day as the district wide writing prompt. Look ahead at the RtI/MRT schedule in order to plan for students who will have an initial IEP in place just before the FCAT, or any other tests. They should be included in your plan for accommodations.
