Parents, BEHS will be administering the SAGE test to students who are currently enrolled in the B sections of Language Arts, Science, and Math, February 16 through March 3. The SAGE test is a great tool for us and for your student to measure quality teaching and learning. SAGE (Student Assessment of Growth and Excellence) is Utah’s computer adaptive assessment system aligned to the state’s core standards. SAGE practice tests are now available on-line on the SAGE Portal site to prepare for the SAGE. The purpose of the Utah SAGE Practice Tests is to familiarize students, teachers, and parents with SAGE content, item types, and the user interface. These tests include items that represent both the variety in difficulty and item format that students may see on the SAGE Summative assessments. The tests are not predictive of SAGE summative performance, but do provide an opportunity to respond to similar types of items in about half the time as the summative test. Additionally, the practice tests provide an item response key at the end so students can see what items they answered correctly and which they answered incorrectly. The practice tests are available for Math and Language Arts at http://sageportal.org/training-tests/ (If the link does not work, copy and paste the address in your browser.) See http://www.schools.utah.gov/assessment/SAGE/ for more information about SAGE Testing.
