[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did they talk about differentiation (by ability level)?  Right now, our school doesn't differentiate and it has caused a lot of frustration.  Also, did they commit to any challenge/enrichment opportunities for next year (4th grade)?[/quote]

They did, however they were fuzzy about the implementation detail. The math pathways shows compacted curriculum... like in 4th grade kids can be placed in compacted 4/5 curriculum instead of just 4. They also talked about a kid can be advanced to a higher grade level. What they did not say is how the objective evaluation of a student can take place when there is no specific test for it established yet. Aparently the Principal has the authority (based on teacher's recommendation) to place the student in compacted or higher grade level Math. So, yes the concept of acceleration exist but, implemenation detail is not clear. My suggestion to parents (my kid is in 5th grade) of rising 4th graders to pay attention to when the curriculum is out (were were told it would be by end of February to March) and have a conversation with the Principal.
