Preparing for Success: Understanding CST Scores and Class Expectations

In this engaging session, we will explore CST scores and set high expectations with a target of 90% advanced and proficient scores in Biology. Students will participate in group activities and discussion on feelings about their scores, while learning to cooperate and maintain a positive learning environment. Important routines and behaviors will be emphasized, including staying on task and supporting each other academically. We will also introduce the work points system, grading policies, and preparations for upcoming assessments.
