BEAT the
M.E.A.P.
- Rally and Curricula
This multisensory
program is designed to engage students, staff, parents, school
buildings, and entire school districts and communities in unified
efforts to assist youth in the achievements of improved
M.E.A.P.
test scores.
The
M.E.A.P. Rally is presented to all third through eleventh grade students. Third grade
students are actively involved and introduced to the process in anticipation of
them preparing for the testing period when they enter fourth grade. Third grade
students will attend the M.E.A.P. Rally with fourth and fifth grade students. K- 2nd grade students are not
involved, yet, they will hear about the event from their teachers and older
peers and excitedly wait until they become third graders.
Upon attending
M.E.A.P.
Rally sessions, fourth and fifth grade students will receive their
M.E.A.P. pencil during assembly. Third grade students will not receive pencils until
their following M.E.A.P.
test period.
The BEAT the
M.E.A.P. pencils will pose as their one and only weapon to use to BEAT the
M.E.A.P. by
improved test scores and be considered their Rally cry! (Pencils will not be
sharpened) Fourth and fifth grade students are not allowed to take these pencils
home until after the full test period. Their
M.E.A.P. pencils must remain in
their desks and be used only for the test.
Utilization of
M.E.A.P.
Rally Song during test period
Fourth and fifth grade
students will hear the BEAT the
M.E.A.P. song three times a day during testing period.
1. Once in
the morning before M.E.A.P.
testing begins
2. Once during scheduled snack break,
where students are allowed bathroom, snack, and casually communicate with their
peers, or in which time they may share any questions or concerns with classroom
teacher.
3. Once at the end of the school day to
reinforce the confidence and effort of students and in preparation for the next
test period.
Classroom incentives may
be incorporated in the BEAT the
M.E.A.P. activity, i.e. Posters,
buttons, cassette or CD of Rally song, balloons, etc.
* Educators and facilitators guide for classroom available!
Because of the nature of
the BEAT the M.E.A.P.
Rallies, and the intention to include entire school districts, third through
eleventh graders, the best facility for operation to serve more students at once
is most effective. The more schools served in your district, less the cost to
bring this and other programs to your school!
