[quote=Anonymous]I haven’t looked at this in-depth but there was a major problem with mcap in that it wasn’t matched to the curriculum, so it was a worthless test for one or two cycles. I’m forgetting the years of the adjustments but it had to do with the whole Pearson problem. There was a year where the schools were required by law to administer it but everyone knew it would not be used and was not meaningful—even the kids—so I think there was extremely little effort put in. Does anyone remember whether this was last year or the year before? It’s all a blur at this point. Look to the MAP, that is a slightly better indicator (and shows learning loss but still shows kids doing pretty well). The McAp saying they don’t meet standards is meaningless when the county had already decided to jettison the standards contained in the mcap because they were found to be so poorly matched to actual learning.[/quote]
