[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The guidance that came out today said students needed to have scored in the 90th percentile on MAP-M in the fall or winter, earned A's on their report cards and scored at a level 4 or 5 on their required Eureka assessments over the course of the year.  This is going to weed a lot of kids out of moving on to 5/6.  [/quote]
This does not seem onerous. It actually sounds like a continuation of the current/previous policy.

A whole thread of nonsense. [/quote]

No, it’s not. My 4th grader has never been in the 90th percentile on the MAP M. They’ve scored b/w 60 - 88 over the course of testing but got As this year and was challenged but not burdened by the pace of compacted 4/5. This means that he won’t continue in compacted math. [/quote]
And perhaps he shouldn't continue compacted math. It's not the right path for every kid. [/quote]

I’ve got a kid who is similar.  I think the fall MAP (taken at home) was like an 85 percentile although it was about 5 points lower than the score the previous year.  MAP scores are easy to juice by just previewing the next year’s material.  If you don’t preview upcoming year’s material, it’s tough to get to 90.  A subject matter test that just covered the material from compacted 4/5 would be a better system for decided who is ready to advance.  [/quote]
