It's state testing time! However... there's no need to worry! Dr. Hartnell has your back! Here's how:
1. Dr. Hartnell's entire American History course is aligned to the state standards from which the state writes its test questions for social studies/history. In fact, all of Dr. Hartnell's Essential Questions (EQs) are the actual state standards just re-written so they are more "user-friendly" (because, trust him, they weren't before!).
2. Every one of Dr. Hartnell's multiple choice tests contains a mixture of old questions from past state tests like the OGT and PARC along with questions from nationally recognized examinations like the ACT and SAT.
3. Dr. Hartnell's use of re-assessment and standards-based grading was proven in a 2016 Otterbein University study to increase student retention of information as well as produce higher scores on End of Course Assessments. (To read more, CLICK HERE!)
The state test will cover material from the end of Reconstruction through the 1960s. By state testing time, all of Dr. Hartnell's classes will have easily covered everything that might appear on the test. For purposes of review, he recommends revisiting the EQs from Units #2 through #5. Unit summaries, EQs, notes, and reading can be found in the links below.
