[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, I know the chart that the two pps are referring to. This was an older thread ( I think) that may have been referring to pre 2.0 report cards. Perhaps this makes the point moot, but I found it interesting that one of the parents in the thread had said her child's teacher told her that they aren't supposed to mark the box above level, even if the child is clearly testing above level.  I'm new to this forum and I've been trying to parse out the difference between the old v. new curriculum. My eldest is in third and this is his first year with 2.0. I'm basically just trying to figure out what all of these tests mean, the levels, the non differentiated nature of math and reading; all of it. [/quote]

Reading is definitely still differentiated under 2.0. The kids are separated into reading groups based on reading level. The levels are not specifically designated at grade level or above grade level because several reading levels exist for each grade. But on the report card, if the particular level the child is at is for the next grade, the report card will show that. Our school also does math differentiation within the classroom. Kids don't switch classes for math, but the teacher does small group instruction at different levels for math just as she does for reading.[/quote]
