[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For folks who are unaware because they were not in a cohorted class this year, Model 1 was poorly designed and in many schools there was zero enrichment provided to the kids-- it was not required to provide enrichment to them, instead it was just required to move through the CKLA units more quickly but without skipping activities or content, which you can't really do well (it's not the same as math where there is a whole unit on one topic and once the kids get it they can move on-- a day of CKLA has a bunch of individual units and topics and skipping some of it is tricky or impossible.). So no wonder the scores for that were bad.[/quote]

Here is the thing though, and I say this without even the kind of data expertise that many on DCUM have.

They are presenting the Option 1/Option 2 data as though they did A/B testing. They are comparing them against one another and telling us to trust the data.

HOWEVER, this was not randomized. If you want us to trust the data, you need to randomize the sample. The fact that principals were able to opt in based on the composition/ethos of the school makes it impossible to compare the outcomes with fidelity. [/quote]

MCPS has NEVER utilized rigorous research methodology. WE pay people $200k per year to produce this drivel and put it forth as evidence before the board.[/quote]
