[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tend to think smart kids with average teaching will score 4s. Smart kids with very good/effective teachers may score 5s. A high concentration of 5s shows you something about the teaching quality.[/quote] CAPE/PARCC is a weird test. My kid scored high on it only because his 3rd grade teacher spent a month teaching all the tricks -- like put a quote somewhere in your essay because [b]the graders are looking for a quote[/b], etc. I guess this has to do with teaching quality? But more like he had a good teacher who knew how to teach to the test.[/quote] I worked as a grader and this is not true. I think the only “test taking strategies” you could teach that would be helpful would be to answer the question asked and check conventions (spelling, grammar). Everything else is providing evidence and student voice which can’t be taught as a test taking strategy. [/quote]
