[quote=Anonymous]http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/bulletin/article.aspx?id=219795 I am not a fan of testing for its own sake, not at all. But this particular test identifies children who need differentiation, who are working at above grade level. If no vehicle exists for identifying such children, and if Curriculum 2.0 is put firmly in place, everyone in every X-grade classroom will be doing the same thing, no matter their capability. Mark my words: This is the beginning of the end of differentiation (in any meaningful sense of that term) in MoCo. The HGC program will be eliminated eventually, too. Starr is interested in leveling the playing field for everyone - The More Child blogger talks about it here. http://themorechild.com/2011/04/25/buh-bye-jerry-hello-josh/[/quote]
