 * Benchmark assessments were created by the curriculum facilitators and instructional facilitators and then reviewed by teachers.
 * The first benchmark testing window of ES and MS is December 6 - 20.
 * Scan sheets are plain paper sheets that are pre-slugged with a test ID#, teacher name, student name, stiudent ID, subject, and period. Blank sheets do not have student information, but there is a test # specific to the teacher.
 * Before scanning, put scan sheets in plastic bags and match the test # with the test # on the bag. Benchmark scanning will be done at the TRC by Steve Williams.
 * Once scanned, the student results are immediately posted to the Thinkgate website. Data Utilization training will be conducted by the Accountability Department.
