Scenario 1 Description

Mrs. Potter is very concerned that her 3rd graders will not understand what to do when they see the ITBS for the first time. She wants her students to feel confident and not anxious when they take the test so their scores show what they know rather than be a reflection of errors caused by nervousness, such as incorrectly filling out bubble sheets. She finds a copy of the ITBS that was administered a few years ago and takes a few of the questions from each section the students will be taking. For about 3 weeks, she uses them as warm-up activities.
