[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn’t testing the content being taught. This isn’t hard to understand. If I’m reading a text about the Great Depression, I probably wouldn’t do well on questions about the pre-Civil War era. Poor kids have little background knowledge and when the test asks questions about topics they haven’t been taught, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they don’t do well. [/quote] But that doesn’t automatically make the test (MCAP) the problem. The MCAP is meant to test against the MSDE standards. If what is being taught does align with and meet/exceed those standards then that’s the problem. So the question that remains is what is being taught appropriate?[/quote]
