[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally wouldn't be too concerned about the occasional C on Benchmark, when MAP-R is the more accurate measure. Like a PP said, Benchmark's questionable assessments are why many top MAP performers weren't given that GT designation. [/quote]

My DC was one of those who didn’t get the GT designation due to benchmark assessment. He is to be rescreened. But might still not get the GT designation again due to random C’s on benchmark assessment again this year. Plus its not great for self esteem either. [/quote]

I'm a SDT in the county and our school has teams give the weekly and unit assessments as they choose. Very few give grades for them though.  If the primary teams do give the assessments for a grade, they need to be mindful that the foundational skills grades from the assessments should not be used for a grade as those skills are taught in a different sequence through Really Great Reading.

I am not sure what that means[/quote]
