[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These kids are not learning anything with remote “learning.” We should be aggressively measuring how fall they are falling behind. We need a lot more information about the size of the hole we are digging for these kids. [/quote]

We have plenty of information already. My child has taken two rounds of standardized formative assessments during the DL year so far already. We don't need the children to take more tests.

What we do need is to do something differently with the test results. If the results tell us that kids in general are not meeting the grade level standards, how are we planning to revise teaching and learning so that there's time for them to catch up? Will we modify the curriculum for the next grade so we are blending two grades together? Will we find extended learning time? Will we plan to provide additional supplemental services for the children that are experiencing the most difficult challenges, like students with disabilities and English learner students?

We don't lack knowledge of which children are struggling the most. We have sufficient data. We just need to act on that data.[/quote]
