[quote=RedTailHawk][quote=Anonymous]What is her MAP-R score. That is what MCPS reviews.  Also, PARCC scores will be released soon. The county obviously will put more weight on tests they administer.  Also, I would take the ES-N ( spelled PENIS) grades with a grain of salt.[/quote]

OP here:  I thought MAP-R was a measure of reading skill/progress.  Does MCPS have any standardized measure for writing skills?

Obviously a standardized MCPS recognized writing skills/ability assessment would be helpful but I'm not aware of any.

We have all sorts of outside testing reports but I've yet to meet a teacher with the interest/available time/background to read them.  I thought the discrepancy between CTY eligibility and classroom grades might be a "short hand" way to make the point.

Just to be clear, I don't disagree that her work products deserve the "I" grade.  I do believe (and outside tutors have demonstrated) that she is very capable of learning to write well.  As I understand it, the SCAT measures "building block" skills like vocabulary where she is strong.  Classroom performance is more impacted by working memory, spacial planning, etc type deficits.  My goal is for the school to realize a greater effort is required on their part for her to become a proficient writer.[/quote]
