Curious to hear how many of you still have planning periods during standardized testing...does your school modify the schedule so everyone still has one?

No. It’s all hands on deck for testing days.

I'm in year 25 and have never had a prep during state testing on the days I'm scheduled to administer or proctor.

Rarely get a planning period of testing days.

Every year several of my students have tested all day since in NY there is no time limit on our tests. I never even got a break for lunch for the 3, now 2, testing days. When it is another subject's test, I still help proctor, but at least I usually get lunch.

We get 1 or 2 20-25 minute breaks.
Testing sucks.

I am off first block and will rarely get a break for the testing season. It’s gotten better over the last few cycles as we finally convinced our admin to let us watch 2-3 class in the cafeteria to cut down on the amount of times we were used.

Legally we still get our prep.

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops. I’m a a point where if I was invited to come back next year I’d say tell them no, am I crazy, is it just me? Please help
