Quotes by Pat Ishimaru

“For students to do well, its not just the academic learning throughout the year, its the environment you set immediately before testing and even during testing that has a big impact.”

“You dont want students stressed out, so if you set a nice tone like having healthy snacks, its telling students this is a good experience ? that were going to show what weve learned so we want to be at our best.”

“Were not power testing. With the SAT, it is just 28 minutes. But with the standards-based questions we want to be more natural, so students can have the time to show what theyve learned.”
