[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s important to ask for specific data showing how this is going to help students who are at or above grade level. If those students aren’t passing advanced on the math portion of SOLs, doing well in Algebra in 7th grade, or not passing Calculus or BC AP exams in the expected numbers, VDOE has a case for offering enrichment and not acceleration. If those students are doing well where they are and have the test scores to prove it, VDOE needs to provide data that supports putting them in a class with their peers who are one or two or three grade levels behind. How is that going to be beneficial for these students? I’d also like to know how many districts that piloted this method plan on keeping it long term. And whether Virginia is planning to include the other interventions such as two teachers per classroom and lots of extra support for the struggling students. They’ve been awfully silent on certain details.[/quote]
