ISTEP testing—worked with the students to develop profiles of test takers likely to fail and likely to pass ISTEP. Once those profiles were completed, they were turned over to teachers who studied them, making recommendations on which students should be held back and which should be promoted. THE STUDENTS WERE then given the ISTEP test, and the results were reflective of the teacher’s recommendations, Schrader said. “The test showed ISTEP is reflective of teacher opinion of a student’s achievement level,” he said. Schrader said what that means is a child who is doing well in school is likely to do well on ISTEP, while a child who is not doing well in

school is not likely to do well on ISTEP. Schrader said teachers need to avoid the temptation to teach the ISTEP instrument to their students, and focus on teaching well the basic skills set out for each grade level by the IDOE’s Curriculum Proficiency Guide. “IT IS INAPPROPRIATE to teach a specific testing instrument to a child,” he says, claiming that would “destroy the integrity of information that might evolve and be useful in taking the test.” He said ISTEP is designed to test a student’s proficiency in specific skill and knowledge areas, and simply teaching the instrument would provide too narrow an education for children.

In addition to the copy machine, a six-volume “Biographical Dictionary of Scientists” was also purchased. It will be placed in the reference section in the memory of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Pickel. According to Roachdale Librarian Penny Schad, the library will now offer copy service to patrons and the general public at 10 cents per copy.

We shop over in Terre Haute, so the effects would be felt right around us.” Since the Army’s original intent for the VX gas was to transport it to Vietnam, Ripperger asks, “Why can’t it be transported in small quantities to be destroyed in the desert?” The Reclsville resident also says he believes that “all Americans should pay an equal percentage of income tax on their earnings.” He also supports ethanol fuel production and endorses a move to develop child day-care centers within the public school system. RIPPERGER WILL formally announce his candidacy at a 7 p.m. rally at the Knightsville Community Center in eastern Clay County next Friday, March 4. The public is invited and live entertainment will be featured. But it is not a fundraiser, he stresses. “I won’t be asking for any donations,” the Putnam County Democrat said. “I’m not asking anybody to put up a dime for this campaign. “It’s probably the first and last campaign that will do that,” he concluded.
