[PAAP] Science Task Review

[Bernard, Peter]

Good Afternoon,
 
I hope you all are enjoying the wonderful spring weather and will have a
chance to slow your pace as summer approaches! We, here at Measured
Progress and the Maine Department of Education have been very busy the
past few months, as I am sure you have been.
 
As summer approaches, we are in need of dedicated educators like you who
have been trained in the PAAP process, to help us by providing feedback
on draft 2009 PAAP Science Tasks to ensure that the final products are
of the highest quality.  The knowledge and experience you have had with
both the assessment and the types of students participating makes your
comments invaluable. The feedback participants provide allows us to make
informed decisions and raises the overall quality of the final Tasks. We
hope you will consider volunteering to participate in the Task Review
for Science.
 
Reviewers are asked to provide feedback on 2-4 Levels of Complexity for
2-4 Tasks through a short online questionnaire. Science only has two
Tasks per Level of Complexity, so completing the questionnaire should
not take more than an hour of your time. The review period for the
Science Tasks is expected to begin in mid-June and last through early
August. All of the final Tasks resulting from your work will be posted
and available to teachers at the start of the 08-09 school year.
 
If you think you can volunteer some time to assist us in this critical
development phase over the summer, please sign up by going online to 
http://www.maine.gov/education/lsalt/paap/updates/index.htm, complete
the linked form, and fax it to me, Stephanie Arroyo, at 1-866-283-2197.
Remember to include your home or other appropriate summertime mailing
address.
 
Measured Progress and the Maine Department of Education truly appreciate
your commitment! There is no one like a Maine Educator!
 
Thank you,
Stephanie Arroyo
Measured Progress
