[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our teacher formed them based on some of her stereotypes of who is a smart kid and who isn't. It took her about a month to put them into groups that actually match their abilities.

It was annoying because my child had been in the highest group all the previous years and testing showed he belonged in the highest group again that year.

We had a teacher who just assigned the kids based on what the K teacher had said at the end of the previous year. The problem was DC got into reading heavy over the summer, and their progress was ignored. [b]I later had them assessed at UMD [/b]and turns out they were reading 6 levels higher. I sent the paperwork to the teacher but they said it was wrong. A different teacher assessed DC at the end of the year turns out they were reading 12 levels over their group. :([/quote]

I don't realize that UMD has assessment, can you provide me a link if possible? My kid was assessed at DRA 18 before the start of K last year. K Teacher told me that he was DRA 8 mid-K. I did not say anything because it is difficult to tell who is right or wrong. My kid loves to pick reading level 1 to read all the way but I see that he can read chapter book at home.

Are they planning to do MAP assessment for 1st grade this year? I see there is MAP P testing for 1st grade, is that for reading or math assessment or both? K teacher never shared with me his reading level until I asked many times last year, and I hope they share it this yea for 1st grade.[/quote]

They take MAP in both math and reading three times a year. [/quote]

They use the MAP-P until grade 3 at which point they give the MAP-R and MAP-M. To my knowledge the MAP-P covers just math.

I know UMD's ed school does some things for ES level education. You'd need to reach out to them or check their website for the details.[/quote]

They used to give the MAP-RF for K-2, but now I think they switched back to DIBELS.[/quote]
