Our district just bought a new program to go along with our TEKS checks. These are called Quick checks and they are supposed to be used to see if your students have gained the knowledge that they are supposed to have learned in your class. The only problem to this is that they are not available for my subject becuase I am not TAKS tested at my grade level. We have been told that Enlgish questions will be added to the site, but that it won't happen until next year, thus I am still doing paper quick checks, but I can see how this would be very beneficial compared to my post about TEKS Checks.
The really cool thinkg about Quick Checks is that you are able to cutom tailor it to what each student needs. This is exciting becuase once you make them, they are in your database for good. The other good thing, is that you can take Quick Checks from other teachers. We know how much we love to steal, so this is a great tool to use.
Our Math teacher on our team has used Quick Checks and has stated to what a great degree she is able to do them with hwen she does stations in her classroom. This would also be a great addition to balance literacy or small group instuction so that you know what to target with each student.
Does your district have anything like this? Do you think it woul dbe beneficial for you if it did?
