[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is only an indicator of how well your student does on an overly rigorous assessment on grade level common core standards. When I say over rigorously, I mean the questions go far beyond the basic skills stated in the standards. The standard could be to solve a multi-step equation, and the test question could involve terms with decimal and fractional coefficients, parentheses, etc. making it the most challenging equation possible.

As a teacher, I don’t think it is a good measure of what a student knows because it doesn’t provide any way of distinguishing between the students who know the foundational skills or the basic level of a standard versus the ones who are beyond proficient.[/quote]

Thus marks the first time in history anyone accused DCPS of being too rigorous. Thank you. It was a tough morning in my household; I needed a laugh.[/quote]

DP, okay. The teacher is speaking the truth though. The questions go way beyond the standard, and with the amount of content that is meant to be taught in a year, schools don't have the opportunity to focus on those higher depth of knowledge questions so that all students have the time to practice.[/quote]
