PSSA Testing Week

Well our high school is at day two of our state mandated testing - the PSSA's. So far the PSSA testing has gone quite well.

The students have been very cooperative with the promise of early dismissal and entry into a contest based upon their levels of success. I'm not sure the prize drawing has the intended effect due to the fact that this is not an immediate reward since kids have to wait for thier score to be determined, but perhaps it can serve as a motivator for next year's juniors when they see the prize drawing - time will tell. I'm not a big fan of prizes as motivators, but it seems to have positive effects in some arenas.
