[quote=Anonymous]OP, what were your child’s MAP percentiles in 1st through 3rd grade? If they have been overall pretty high I would have a different recommendation for you than if they’ve been spotty or medium. I don’t think it makes any sense to use a single MAP test to gatekeep kids, but I also think you need to be honest about whether your student has shown a consistent history of needing acceleration. There are not a lot of great supports in math in the accelerated pathways (they don’t add co-teachers in middle to these classrooms) and your cohort of kids is probably missing some foundational skills due to their age in the pandemic, so the pathway really should be for kids who demonstrate clear readiness. Separately, there are on-ramps but they do involve a bit of work on your child’s part to cover skipped topics. [/quote]
