[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wasn't able to go b/c of a sick toddler.  I'd be very interested to hear about the meeting from anyone who was there.  Thank you.[/quote]

I was there. I liked the intention of the curriculum to be in depth. The difference they showed between the current math assessment and the new one shows a lot of promise. However there is so much uncertaininty in the implementation details that we will have wait a couple of years to understand the impact.[/quote]

Can you elaborate on the "current math assessment" and the "new one".  As far as I can tell, there is no systematic "math assessment" being administered to C2.0 third graders.  Individual teachers seem to be administering individual "assessments" (i.e. one-question assessments), but there aren't enough to at all constitute a systematic evaluation of whether a child understands all concept across a topic area.

What is the "new" math assessment?  Is it presently being used or is this something MCPS will roll out?

I would watch myself as suggested by another PP, but unfortunately we don't get cable TV.  [/quote]

Not the PP, but the new math assessment is PARCC and the old assessment is MSA.  The reference is to the standardized test that students will need to be prepared for.[/quote]
