The marathon…

Posted in Uncategorized, Work events at 9:07 am by winz

The past two week I have been running a marathon – the marathon of AP testing. For My spring semester counseling project I had the pleasure of coordinating AP testing with another counselor and one of our assistant principals.

Since this was my first time my naivete was beneficial. I had no idea if I should be worried, stressed, overwhelmed…. I just worked hard to keep up with the pros. The students have the opportunity to earn college credit depending on how well they score. There was quite a bit of pressure on us to get everything right so that the students have the correct exams and the best testing environment to obtain optimal scores.

Over the course of the testing window we administered 28 exams in 10 days to over 500 students. Many of the students took more than one exam so essentially we administered 1500 exams! I was in my organizational element but the testing job was still huge! We tested the students in one of the many gymnasiums on the CHHS campus. The only drawback was it was the farthest possible point from my office. I know I walked MILES last week. I felt like every time I’d get to the gym I’d have to turn around and walk back to the other side of school.

Matt won the father/husband of the year award while I was working on this testing project. I had to report to the school early in order to get everything set for each day of testing. Matt committed to early mornings with Dean, extra housework, and fix your own dinners while I was married to my job. His dedication helped make 2 crazy weeks a little smoother.

Thankfully AP testing went off with out a hitch and I can now return to being a better wife and mother.
