TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Welcome to my store! I hope you are finding the test prep materials you need to help best prepare your students for standardized testing.

I’ve been teaching for 10 years (2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, math & reading intervention) and have moved around quite a bit due to my husband’s job. After being in 4 different districts and 3 different states, I’ve come to realize how important and hard it is to find engaging test preparation materials. As I’ve moved around teaching and studying the different state tests I’ve created TPT stores along my journey.

If you are looking for test prep materials you may find similar content in the following stores I own:

Custom Classroom by Angela – Texas STAAR Test Prep
A Creative Classroom – California SBAC for Common Core
THE SMALL CLASSROOM – Florida FSA Test Prep
A Cozy Classroom – Ohio AIR Test Prep
The Crafty Classroom – Pennsylvania PSSA Test Prep

The passages are the same or similar but the questions and how the test is presented have been changed to best fit and meet the requirements for the specific test I was preparing my students for. So depending on how different the particular tests you are looking for are, you will find 50-75% of the questions are different. However, there are similarities, especially, within the task card sets.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need help finding the product that best fits your students’ needs.

Hope you have a great school year,
Angela
