[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For folks who are unaware because they were not in a cohorted class this year, Model 1 was poorly designed and in many schools there was zero enrichment provided to the kids-- it was not required to provide enrichment to them, instead it was just required to move through the CKLA units more quickly but without skipping activities or content, which you can't really do well (it's not the same as math where there is a whole unit on one topic and once the kids get it they can move on-- a day of CKLA has a bunch of individual units and topics and skipping some of it is tricky or impossible.). So no wonder the scores for that were bad.[/quote]

It's depressing to me that we're even looking at improved MAP scores as the goal of enrichment in reading. The kids who qualify for enriched reading are going to have good reading scores under any model, why worry about improving those? Our fourth grader is in a CES classroom, and what she gets out of it is reading more advanced texts, doing longer term projects, having more in depth discussions. None of that particularly helps her on the MAP, and if you stuck her in a remedial class she'd still do really well on a standardized reading test. It doesn't mean that acceleration hasn't had value.[/quote]

She might not do as well as in Mcps they barely read anything.  We had to do all that at home.  [/quote]
