Test Preparation: DLI Teachers
-
The Utah STAMP website contains several guides under the heading ‘For Schools and Teachers.’
- It is highly recommended that teachers provide students with the opportunity to take Sample Tests prior to testing, as this testing platform will be new to all students this year.
-
Check out the STAMP accommodations page for information about the types of accommodations available on the STAMP.
-
The FAQ for grades 3-5 may be found here and the FAQ for grades 6-9 may be found here.
