ACRE testing
As a part of the program, we are strongly encouraging each parish/cluster to assess the teens of their programs with the Assessment of Catechesis/Religious Education (ACRE). We are asking you to select a date between January 30 and March 13 for your participants to take the test. It takes up to six weeks to get the results, so we need all completed score sheets by our March 18 session. Once you select the date, we will ensure that you have the correct number of scoring sheets and booklets for each grade level.
In order to get the test materials to you as quickly as possible, we do need some information from you:
1. The number of 9th graders you would like to test (priority).
2. The number of 5th graders you would like to test (optional).
3. The number of 11th graders you would like to test (optional)
4. The date you would like to give the test.
Payment Due
We are asking parishes/clusters for a small portion of the total costs ($150 per parish/cluster). Once we complete the ACRE test orders we will send each of you an invoice for the amount you owe. There is no need to cover the $150 registration fee until you receive your invoice. Your invoice will reflect the $150 program fee plus the cost of the ACRE assessment ($2 per person).
Reading Assignments Prior to our first session in February, please read two documents. If you have a laptop or tablet, please bring electronic copies of these documents to our first session. Otherwise, please print them out to bring with you.
