[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This brochure says the I-Ready report comes back with information per each state standard or common core standard. Is the problem that the state standards aren't specific enough? The common core standards are very specific.

Her blog says this, however I- Ready training says teachers can access more. Can anyone confirm what exactly teachers can see?
"The teacher can never see the questions the child answered correctly or incorrectly, nor can she even access a description of the kinds of questions the child answered correctly or incorrectly. The most a teacher will ever know is that a child scored poorly, for example, in number and operations. Folks, that is a giant category, and far too broad to be actionable."[/quote]

We also wouldn't be having this conversation if teachers who are teaching ESL and special ed students directed their concerns specifically for ESL and special ed students instead of general ed. Instead this teacher decides to rail on a test by calling it dangerous and can't even show a problem that has much confusion in it. The work general ed students get in school is much more difficult than this equation as it should be. The question is straightforward. This teacher deals with a population that is struggling for other reasons than understanding subtraction.[/quote]
