[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids never took a "district" test, just the regular module tests and MAP. [/quote] They do take them, though. The teachers don’t make a big deal or tell them it’s a test that’s important/carries weight, they don’t tell the parents it will be or has been administered and they don’t necessarily tell anyone the scores unless you explicitly ask. The idea of using multiple measures to identify students is supposed to mean no single test or data point gatekeeps a student from opportunities. Kid could have been coming down with illness or needed to use the bathroom or mis-clicked by accident. Point being, if kid otherwise has data that clearly indicates a general high performance and capability, they should not use one borderline score to prevent the student from trying the advanced course. I mean, goodness, can you imagine if at work we were only evaluating everyone based on their one subpar moment or mistake in spite of every other indicator? [/quote]
