[quote=Anonymous]ELC is seen as something of a better-than-Benchmark local alternative to the CES curriculum, which is different, but it looks like the same students that end up in the CES lottery pool are supposed to receive "enriched literacy services," whether at the CES or at their home school.  Some home schools, specifically those with immersion programs (at least some) won't be getting ELC, so you'd have to talk to your principal about how your child will be getting the enrichment (don't let them off the hook by saying Benchmark Advance provides it -- there should be something more robust!).

CES lottery pool criteria are described in the FAQ: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jmQmo4UZDowNzddfXA56UtyB0KJPSfwiGi9oqqVT1OI/view

The criteria are all from the current period (marking period 2) of grade 3:

A for the quarter in Reading (whole subject, not sub-subject grades), AND
A for the quarter in either Writing or Social Studies (ditto on whole subject), AND
Reading Level for the quarter reported as "on" or "above," AND
Locally-normed 85th %ile on winter MAP-R (local norming is discussed in the FAQ and in several other DCUM threads).

Note: MCPS does not adjust the MAP percentiles for weeks of learning, though there is an NWEA mechanism that would allow them to do so, so schools that administer the test later (say, end of January) provide an advantage, perhaps a percentile or two, to their students over those taking it earlier (say, right after winter break).[/quote]
