[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes got the letter went online looked at the research kids do worse on tests given on the computer. https://dianeravitch.net/2016/06/13/kids-do-worse-on-computers-when-taking-tests/ http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2016/02/kids_do_worse_on_online_tests_in_some_states_than_with_paper_and_pencil_but_ohios_not_checking.html http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2016/02/23/comparing-paper-and-computer-testing-7-key.html[/quote] The assessment that students are taking in FCPS are not achievement tests. They are meant to serve as a screener to see where an intervention may be needed. If a student does not score well, additional assessments such as the DRA2 (administered one on one with a teacher, no computer) is given. Your argument and research makes more sense when talking about using computers for tests like the SOL. [/quote]
