Standardized Testing Help/Advice!

Hello all,

I recently moved from Kansas to the New England area and I am totally out of my element with all of the standardized English/Language Arts tests I'm expected to have my students both prepare for and take. I am very worried that their results will reflect poorly on me, and I have absolutely no clue how to prepare them for so many tests in which I am unaware of their content. For example, I have two classes that score very high compared to every other class in the building, however their "growth rate" is much lower. Considering the school only takes into consideration their growth, this is very alarming to me.

My instinct is to simply disagree with standardization as a whole, as it truly doesn't align with my educational philosophy. With that in mind, I still want success for my students to the highest degree possible in whatever environment they find themselves in, including this one. I just walked into this situation after stemming from a very relaxed, teacher-autonomous environment in the Midwest, so I'm currently very out of my element. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can prepare students for these standardized tests in a way that sees consistent growth throughout the year?
