[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What baffles me is that MCPS has the data to approach this from a "growth" perspective but stubbornly chooses to approach it from a "gap" perspective. Every kid in MCPS is massively tracked and constantly evaluated. So, why are they not using that enormous amount of data to set goals that would actually meet the needs of kids? It makes much more sense to try to see improvement at the individual level rather than the population level, as the individual level is the only one that truly matters. If my white child is struggling, [b]it doesn't matter that white kids do well as a population[/b]. It matters that my child is not learning. Ditto any other child. [/quote] Actually it does. It may not matter to you individually, but it definitely matters to the school system, and to society.[/quote]
