Standardized Testing in Illinois
State standardized testing of students in Illinois began about 25 years
ago when legislators told us that they
needed to be able to measure the improvement of schools over time. We
need a test (they told us) that will keep
schools “accountable”. We need a test
(they told us) that is based on our clearly defined state learning goals. So……
the Illinois Goal Assessment Program
(IGAP) test was created by a team of “experts and stakeholders” to determine
if students had mastered these goals.
The IGAP (they told us) would never be
used to compare schools or students.
It would strictly serve as a means to
measure school improvement. Results
would be made available on the existing Illinois School Report Card.
Soon, however, our legislators determined that the IGAP was not meeting their needs. We don’t just need
learning goals (they told us), we need
clearly identified standards. So….. in
1997 an even smarter group of “experts
and stakeholders” convened to create
the Illinois Learning Standards; and to
keep schools accountable, they created
a test (based on those standards) that
could compare the growth of students
in different schools. After all, (they told
us) schools and teachers will do a better job if we can rate them and publish
comparisons for the public. This way,
parents will truly be able to assess how
their schools are faring against other
schools within the state – and this will
keep teachers and administrators accountable. So in 1999, the Illinois State
Achievement Test (ISAT) was born.
In 2001, Illinois added the Prairie
State Achievement Exam (PSAE) for
11th graders and included as part of the
exam, the ACT – a nationally normed
test that measures college readiness.
At the time, school administrators and
teachers in Illinois questioned how a
nationally normed college readiness
exam was going to be used to measure
mastery of the Illinois Learning Standards, but ISBE and our legislators assured us that their team of “experts and
stakeholders” had approved this new
addition – and besides, they were going to pay for it – so it was a win-win.
When No Child Left Behind (NCLB)
was signed into law in 2002, it was
like accountability on steroids. It was
now evident to legislators that education was too important to leave to the
discretion of the states. “Experts and
Stakeholders” in Washington knew
what we really needed. We needed
to empower parents and we needed
much, much more testing. We needed
testing that measured the growth of
30 subgroups of students; and unless
there was growth among all the sub-
groups, a school would be considered
failing. All students in all subgroups
must master all standards by 2013 or
else. Now that’s accountability! I was
never told this by any parent, but I’m
confident this caused them to feel empowered.
The subsequent failure of NCLB to
produce any real growth or change in
achievement gaps among subgroups
has now convinced our legislators that
our schools need to “Race to the Top”
and that we certainly need more federal oversight and even more testing. The
Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC)
is the latest edition of an attempt by
legislators to find the perfect tool to
measure student achievement and
growth. Created by “experts and stakeholders” to measure student mastery of
the *Common Core Standards (CCS),
PARCC is an online assessment that
will a) be given to more students b) be
given more often c) take longer to complete d) cost school districts thousands
of dollars for technology and e) will of
course, hold schools accountable and
empower parents.
Supt. Jerry Klooster
So empowering is the PARCC, that
in Illinois, school achievement will
now be measured on the basis of average student growth on the PARCC from
year to year. Each year, each student’s
PARCC score will be compared to that
student’s previous year’s PARCC score.
The student’s increase or decrease in
growth will then be used to help determine average growth for a school.
Some may wonder how reliable results
can be for a test that has never been
given before. Not to worry, the state
has assured us that their “experts and
stakeholders” have been working with
“national experts” to ensure valid, reliable and consistent data. I feel better…
and very empowered.

Students from the eighth grade class at Bradford Junior High School recently visited Stark County High School to tour
the building and hear about the programs offered at Stark County High School. Eighth grade students were informed
about the programs and opportunities offered at Stark County High School, ate lunch with several high school students,
and then returned back to Bradford for afternoon classes. We hope to see several students from Bradford Junior High
attend high school at Stark County next fall!
Sixth and seventh grades’ Common Core focus
For the month of January, Mrs. Wise’s sixth grade
English classes will be focusing on CCS L6: 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d
which is recognizing and using pronouns correctly. This
focus will create a deeper
understanding of skills, to
then be more apt to use the
skills in their own writing.

Common Core
The Common Core
Standards have been a
popular topic in educational circles.
Teachers, parents, local school
boards and community
members have all had
to pause to look at its far
reaching consequences.
This transition has been
difficult for all of us. Many
may even claim it is truly
not worth it. Students are
struggling, teachers and
school boards are laboring to bring the concepts
into the classroom and
parents are frustrated.
First, I must agree that
the creation and rollout
of these standards were
pushed with little educational research behind
them; it was more likely
political philosophy paving the path. Expecting
teachers and students to
immediately grasp these
new standards and understand the scaffolding
involved is complicated
and unfair. Test scores
have actually dropped in
some states with Common Core aligned assessments. It may seem that
things are not working.
At every corner there is
a Common Core debate:
Are these standards truly
more rigorous? Are they
really preparing our students for college and the
workforce? Do these standards tell teachers how
and what to teach? And
lastly, are these standards
really
internationally
benchmarked? The concept that things need to
get worse before they can
get better may seem truer
now than ever.
Many of you have
heard the debates, read
the articles and been a
part of the many Common
Core discussions. Before
your next discussion, I
want to take the opportunity to explain
what the Common
Core looks like here
at Stark County Elementary School.

Stark County Elementary School has a new electronic sign at the main entrance
of the school. State Bank of Toulon President & CEO Doug Parrott donated
the sign to the Stark County Elementary School Parent's Club on behalf of the
bank. The sign once stood at the previous location of the SBT Galva Banking
Center. The sign was redesigned with the SC Rebel Logo & installed recently.
Aldrich Company of Wyoming donated their time & supplies to help get the
sign operating. The remaining fees were paid for by funds from last year’s SC
Parent's Club fundraiser. This new sign can be updated daily with important
information for parents, students and visitors. It is definitely a nice addition to
the front of the elementary school. Thank you to everyone who helped make
this possible!

Golden
Spoon
Award
Winners!
Congratulations to
Mrs. Strode’s third
grade, Mrs. Daniel’s
second grade, and Miss
Woodford’s class for
Golden Spoon Awards!
So much has been happening
in the elementary library!
December was devoted to all things Grinch!
The whole place was
decorated like Whoville
and we even had a little
naughty Grinch that was
our visitor for the month.
We never knew where we
would find him each day
and what mischief he
would get into next! The
K-2nd grades read How
the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss. We each
made our own Grinch
and wrote about what
we would do to make the
Grinch grin. All classes
also got to watch the movie of How the Grinch Stole
Christmas and enjoyed a
green Grinchy treat.
The 3rd grade class
wrapped up reading
When Santa Fell to Earth
by Cornelia Funke. They
did some fun activities to
go along with the book,
including a packet of
fun Christmas activities.
They have started reading Stone Fox by John
Reynolds Gardiner and
look forward to doing
some fun activities and
projects to go along with
this book.
The
4th
graders
wrapped up reading Detective Bigfoot by Renee
Wallace and did a final
group project of News
reports about Bigfoot
siting’s. We filmed them
and you can view these
reports on my library
web site under my name
in the grade school staff
directory on the district
web site. They have begun reading Ellen Tebbits
by Beverly Cleary and will
be writing predictions
for each chapter. When
the chapter is completed
they will record what actually happened in each
chapter. There will also
be an activity for each
chapter as we read the
book together.
The 5th graders completed The Fairy Ring by
Mary Losure, and we
had some good discussions about how a person
might get caught up in
a lie and how to make it
right. We also discussed
how people who have
been fooled might feel.
They have begun reading Just a Dog by Michael
Gerard Bauer. It is a lively
book filled with stories of
a family dog, Mr. Mosley.
We have many fun activities planned to go along
with this book.
So far in January the
K-2nd grade classes have
read A Little Bit of Winter by Paul Stewart. We
decided we didn’t have a
little bit of winter here in
Stark County, we have had
A LOT of winter! These
classes also read The
Rainbow Fish and Rainbow Fish to the Rescue by
Marcus Pfister. They are
working on making their
very own rainbow fish using old cd disks.
Enjoy the rest of Winter and remember there’s
‘snow’ better time to read
to your child!

the second semester of
school, we’re longing for
the warmth of spring and
green trees. With our
recent cold and snow,
we may need to be a bit
patient and find some
things to keep us busy.
While the cold may keep
us indoors at home, we
are still quite active at
school with many dates
of interest.
While the excitement
of our fall success in the
football playoffs and volleyball IHSA regional title
slips into our memories,
a look ahead to the list of
upcoming school activities offers many items to
choose from. Our high
school Speech Team, under the direction of Mrs.
Sunny Nolan, has just
won the Lincoln Trail
Conference title and has
a few more competitions
left before the end of their
season, and our spring
musical under the direction of Mrs. Angie Roark is
beginning production for
the “The Sound of Music”.
Our other active school
groups during February and March include
Stark Smart, Scholastic
Bowl, FFA, FCCLA, Teen
Safe Driving and Student
Council, and we still have
many games at all levels
of basketball from Junior
High to Varsity levels.
If you check out our
calendar on the school
website
at
stark100.
com, you will see many
more dates of interest.
Of course, these activities are all going on at
the same time as the
student’s classroom assignments, projects, and
tests. Our athletes and
club participants are doubly busy keeping up with
their many expectations
both during school and
afterwards. We’re also in
the midst of gathering
course requests for next
year, as well as planning
for the ISAT for the Junior
High, PSAE testing for the
juniors, and helping the
seniors plan for their next
phase of life.
As we juggle all of
these dates, practices,
and games, we want to
congratulate those who
have done so well in their
activities. Honors and
accolades are in order for
those great performances
by the students on the
Speech Team, as well as
the student actors from
the Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre production.
Along with the many
honor awards earned
through hard work in the
classroom, we also congratulate seniors Liz Hippen, Jade Molln, Rachel
Wilson and Victoria West

SCHS 21st CCLC presented an
evening of murder mystery
Bryan Blanks, site
coordinator for the 21st
Century
Community
Learning Center at Stark
County High school directed a murder mystery
dinner theatre program.
The theatre event was a
community fundraiser
for the Wyoming History
and Arts Association.
Members of Rebels Actin' Up, an improvisation
troupe, portrayed vari-
ous characters for the
evening. Throughout the
murder mystery event,
audiences were able to
interact with the actors to
guess "whodunnit." The
evening concluded with
a clue hunt and the person behind the murderous crime was revealed.
Members of Stark County
High School and the community filled the house in
support of plans for the
History and Arts Association as well as the 21st
CCLC. The 21st CCLC is
in its third academic year
of programming. Additional programs such
as science club, yoga,
homework and tutoring services have given
students opportunities
to raise their grades and
their involvement. Mr.
Blanks has titled the 21st
CCLC program,
Blanks
states,
"through
community
support and involvement, I hope to continue
to build programs that
will provide students with
unique academic and
extracurricular opportunities. The 21st CCLC
has been developed to
not only raise grades
but raise the chances towards success after graduation. The murder mystery event has once again
made me very proud of
our local Rebel Raisers."
Many students participated in the Ugly Sweater Contest held at the high school
on December 5. Pictured are Shelby Raineri, Victoria Zavalla, Jenna Raineri and

Founding Father’s documents
In studying the complex text of the
Bill of Rights, the 8th grade reading students have written the first ten amendments of the Constitution in their own
words. Then as groups in class they are
given different scenarios based on actual court cases to analyze and determine
what rights were violated and evaluate
the Court's decision whether the decision was constitutionally correct.

Third grade writings on Winter
WINTER
If you like winter, Stark County is
the place! Most of the time it is snowy
and cold. Playing in the snow is a lot
of fun! I love making snow angels, and
snowmen, and having big snowball
fights. To play outside I dress in snowpants, snowboots, a hat, and gloves.
During school in the winter I play shut
the box, checkers, and I color. I do not
want winter all year long because it can
be really cold.
- Lindley Johnston
WINTER
Are you looking for winter fun? Well
Stark County is the place! Winter here
is snowy cold and fun! You could build
a snowman or even a snowwomen or
a whole family! My mom makes sure I
wear my coat, boots, and gloves. If it is
too cold at recess time we stay indoors
and play games, but if we go outside I
talk with my friends and try to be warm.
I would like to have winter all year
round because it reminds me of Christmas and that means presents!
- Grace Hamilton
WINTER
In the winter Stark County is fun!
The weather here is cold and snowy.
Most of the time I go outside and make
igloos, a snowman and snowangels.
When I go outside I dress with a hat,
coat and gloves. If it is too cold outside
we have indoor recess and I play “quiz
me on the USA” with Mark Wagner. If
we go outside I play around the world
with Mark Wagner, Drew Rumbold and
Patrick Shipman, I would not like to
have winter all year long because lots of
people would be sick.

WINTER
Winter in Stark County is awesome.
The snow is very very deep. In the winter I build snowmen and sometimes I
have a snowball fight. I wear hats, and
gloves, and a big winter coat, and snowpants. At school I play basketball for
outside recess but, for inside recess I
play Checkers and Shut the Box. I would
not like to have winter all year ‘round
because my room at school is cold and
I don’t like to shovel the diveway.

Stark County Driver Education
Students Participate in OTSD Program
Pictured above are Mrs. Dianna Davis, Family and Consumer Science Instructor,
with Paige Gerard, a junior at Stark County High School. Mrs. Davis was
handing out new class schedules to students in the high school gymnasium
shortly before school started.
High School
Principal, Mr.
Bill Lamb,
enjoys playing
musical chairs
with high
school students
Jared Code and
Heather Kieser
at a Rebel
Rally held
shortly before
Christmas
break.
The Stark County
High School Driver Education department will
be participating in a program sponsored by the
Illinois Department of
Transportation, Ford Motor Company and Allstate
Insurance. The program
is titled “Operation Teen
Safe Driving” or OTSD.
The program was designed to bring about a
community outreach regarding an awareness for
safe driving habits. Stark
County’s slogan within
the OTSD program is
”Stay Alert! Stay Alive!”
Students in driver education are promoting safer
driving habits of seat belt
use, no cell phone usagewhether it be talking, dialing, or texting, impaired
driving, and speeding to
name a few.
Nationally, teen drivers are involved in approximately 20% of ALL
motor vehicle crashes. In
Illinois, teen drivers make
up approximately only 7%
of the driving population.
Stark County is one
of 13 schools selected to
compete in the program
within their region to
have awareness outreach
activities. The competition is for additional
rewards from the OTSD
Sponsors. The students
who do the most promoting will be rewarded with
a trip to either Chicago or
Springfield to a testing facility, where they will get
a chance to observe and
participate in the “Ride
and Drive” event in April.
Ford Motors has online information and
downloadable materials
under their website www.
drivingskillsforlife.com.
We urge all individuals
(parents, grandparents,
community
members,
students, and faculty)
to go to the website and
complete the “Academy”
portion and print their
certificate of completion
within the website.
The more people we
can get to complete the
“Academy”, the more
points our school will receive from the judges.
The driver education
instructors at Stark County High School, Mr. Langdon and Mr. Carstens,
have already seen many
students jump on board
with this program. These
students have conducted
a mandatory seat belt survey and attended OTSD
meetings, where the students have come together
collaborating many great
ideas on how to get their
word out. Darren Acke,
a Stark County student,
has already put his talents to use by designing
a really nice banner online to be displayed in our
schools cafeteria and at
our outreach awareness
sites. We really hope our
community gets involved
and help these students
achieve their goals says
Mr. Langdon. The more
that get involved the better chance our students
get rewarded and recognized. It would be a WinWin for everybody.

US Air Guardsman and
Desert Shield/Storm Veteran
Visit with Jr. High Students
In honor of Veterans
Day, SMS Terry Jones
and Michele Jones of
Kewanee, spoke to each
of the Social Studies
classes at the Stark County Jr. High on Friday, November 8.
SMS Jones is preparing for his ninth deployment. He discussed
some of his duties and
experiences during his
most recent missions.
He explained the significance of the plaque he
previously dedicated to
the Stark County Jr. High.
The plaque includes a
flag flown in combat over
Afghanistan on December 25, 2008 during SMS
Jones’s deployment with
the 774th Expeditionary
Airlift Squadron C-130H,
Illinois
Air
National
Guard during Operation
Enduring Freedom. Mrs.
Jones, a flight nurse during her service, provided
students the rare opportunity to learn about the
involvement of women
serving in the military
and how that experience
has related to her nursing
career.
Every semester one class wins the Golden Spoon for good behavior in the
cafeteria more than any other class. That class receives a special lunch with
Mrs. Samuelsen, Way to go, Mrs. Daniel's second grade.
All State Chorus Students
Both shared the personal side of active duty
as well. It was interesting
to see photos and hear
how our military people
struggle to do everyday
things such as showers,
laundry, sleep, and try to
stay in contact with their
families. The Jones’s genuine connection with our
students was especially
evident during discussions started from student questions.
The Jr. High would
like to express our sincerest gratitude to the Jones’s
for their willingness to
spend the day with us and
to all Veterans for their
service to our county.
Payton Letko and Victoria Harmon
Stark County High
School students Payton
Letko and Victoria Harmon were chosen for
participation in the Illinois Music Education Association All-State cho-
ruses. The girls, who are
both juniors under the
direction of Vocal Music
Instructor Angie Roark,
auditioned for the ILMEA
District 2 festival in October of this year. They
were selected for the
district festival, which
was held at Augustana
College on Saturday, November 9th. The girls
both ranked high enough
during their October
audition that they were
selected to also participate at the state festival
in January. Payton sang
soprano with the ILMEA
All-State Chorus and Victoria sang alto with the
ILMEA All-State Honors
Chorus. The choruses rehearsed and performed
during the ILMEA AllState Conference which
was held January 22nd
through the 25th in Peoria. Congratulations to
these outstanding musicians for making state,
and for representing our
school so well!
