[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is just so much bias... it is systemic and even good teachers are swayed by it. They are NOT trained to understand the difference between a high performing child and a high potential child. Some do see it, but in my experience, most do not.[/quote] I have to agree. Also, because 3rd graders only have one teacher, it's hard to eliminate bias because there aren't multiple recs. Prefer consistent objective measures like MAP.[/quote] We have faith in teachers to teach our kids and evaluate them but not evaluate them for a magnet program? Makes no sense. MAP can be an indicator, but some kids are just good test takers and some are not -- it's not a universal indicator, just as teacher recs aren't universal. It's all subjective. So, we shouldn't leave anything out. Use MAP and teacher rec. But, not MAP and magnet test w/o any non-testing performance data. Test taking is one skill. And, it can be taught. [/quote]
