[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A pass advance on the 6th grade SOL is an invitation to skip 2 years of prealgebra? Ooof.[/quote]

The Teachers know what kids are bored with math and could be challenged more.They have more then the 5th grade scores. They might cite those specific scores but I would guess they are looking back on iReady scores and Teacher comments from K on. DS 2nd grade teacher was able to tell us he would be in Advanced Math in 3rd grade during the parent teacher conference at the beginning of the year. I would guess that there were a few other kids she could identify as well, just knowing his classmates. [/quote]

I’m a pilot school teacher. None of this happened for the pilot. The county identified kids based on the two criteria mentioned above. Schools and teachers had no input. Nothing qualitative was looked at, just those two data points.[/quote]

Do you mind sharing what is the second data point? The one related to iReady and where to check that in records sent to parents.[/quote]
