[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, what if you have a first grader who starts in Sept and already meets the standards?  That is what will happen.  The teacher will bust their butts teaching the standards to everyone else/[/quote]

They accelerate.

My daughter is at the highest reading level.  She and 3 others are in the accelerated group.  You can master the standards but that doesn't mean you stop.  Her teacher is going beyond the benchmarks, for example, by using harder texts.

So if they've mastered the basics for this standard for grade 4- RL2 Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text; summarize the text. - they can move on to more difficult texts.

I teach English.  We reinforce the same devices and concepts each year but with more advanced texts.

Furthermore, there's often a range of standards with CC. So you may see skills grouped for grades 3-5.  A "low" 4th grader may be at the 3rd grade level in some areas.  The goal is to help him/her improve over the year.

I do highly doubt that a first grader will have met the standards early on.  If that's the case, a HGC and eventually a magnet will meet his/her needs.

I don't understand why people make such statements if they haven't even looked at the MSDE framework.  It's all there.
