The MEAP is Here!!!!!!!

Trying a new twist this year to get a little boost to our MEAP scores. Every year we have a handful of students that just don't do as well as what they could. In many cases it's understandable when you think about it. We are not accustomed to taking tests that last more than 55 minutes. It's easy for the students to get or feel burned out. This year we are trying to dangle a carrot out there to get some extra effort. We are offering a reward this year to any student that takes their time, writes at least three paragraphs in the writing portion (intro, body, conclusion), double check their math work and has no discipline issues during the MEAP. The reward will be during the week of October 22nd, they will be able to listen to their I-pods before school, between classes, during lunch and in class if their teacher allows it. If this extra perk gets 5% of our students to give a little more effort then it'll be worth it. Any help promoting this at home is appreciated.
