[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCAP test are useful to see where your child stands. Please understand that letter grades are so subjective. Teachers have the luxury of giving a child any letter grade, at their discretion. MCAP, teachers are not able to see the test, the questions, answers, etc. Teachers therefore, can not just “teach for the test.” The test is compromised of skills and standards from that year. How well can your child apply what she or he has learned and apply it to an unknown text or equation? It is just one data point to see how well your child is truly doing. It really does not take up much instruction time at all to give the test. In the real world, we are judged and based on our performance. The same is true for students. A student is not consistently doing well on multiple various assessments compared to their peers across multiple years? Time to asses for a 504 or IEP. A student doing very well across multiple assessments through various years? Time to evaluate for TAG. Take it as another data point, something positive, instead of negative. [/quote]

What does a "good score" on the MCAP reveal about your student?[/quote]
