ELEM: AR Question

[Louise Leonard <lleonard@SSDS.ATTBBS.NET>]

My principal and I have been following the progress of our students this =
year, and notice some classes participate much more in AR than others.  =
While discussing ways to boost these classes' performance, he considered =
requiring students to test on all AR books checked out.  Does your =
school do this?  If not, how do you determine which books students are =
allowed to test on?  I have seen the parental reading logs, but we would =
like to keep this decision within the school, if possible. =20

If your teachers aren't really behind the program, are there any ways =
you've managed to get them more involved?  We are in the process of =
wiring the school, and soon teachers will be able to access AR in their =
classrooms. =20

At the moment, however, students must take tests in the library or =
computer lab.  I've set up additional testing times, but not every class =
is taking advantage of these times. So I end up with 14 kids all needed =
to take multiple tests on 4 computers in the last 10 minutes of library =
time.

I"ll be glad to post a hit if anyone is interested.
