[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I am hearing from the class teachers that there will be no testing other than MAP and VALLs next year for second graders. [/quote]
Wow so with VALLS being irrelevant to AAP since the focus is to diagnose problems, all is left is MAP fall and HOPE?![/quote]
VALLS was included in last years packet (DC is a current AAP 3rd grader) so I wouldn’t say it’s irrelevant [/quote]

Dp, not irrelevant, but limited. A kid with a so-so score will likely be hurt by VALLS, but there are probably many kids with good scores that a good score doesn't reveal much.

The test wasn't intended to determine how well a kid reads, and so once a kid can read, they'll score well. There's little info about how well a kid reads.[/quote]

What's a so-so score? [/quote]

Sometimes people post VALLS on the AAP decisions or appeals threads, which is why I think there is a cutoff, but not enough people post to see a clear trend line.

If we collectively started to record VALLS on threads like those, we could probably sus out a number that is at least in the ballpark.[/quote]
