[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no gray area about what is and is not proficient. Students are being graded against a standard and teachers have [b]checks for understanding to accompany every lesson[/b]. It is not 85% or higher = proficient or anything like that.[/quote] So are you saying kids are being graded on how well they articulate their understanding during the "lesson"? Does that mean group learning time? In math for example, where there generally is a right and wrong answer to problems, are students not being given math tests? Could a child get all the answers correct, and not receive a P due to the teacher's assessment of understanding at some time other than the test? Could 2 students get the same score on a written test, but one get a higher grade because of the teacher's "checks for understanding"? [/quote]
