[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, what is the plan when the kids don't pass the K test? Are they going to repeat?[/quote] In our school, when we have Kindergarten children who can't master the majority of grade level standards, we know this at the start of the year. Kids are identified in the first weeks of the school year (through testing!) and are given extra help all year; after school programs, etc. These would be your kids who enter school without one to one correspondence in counting, not having any sense of how to copy a letter, etc. We meet with parents in February to discuss possible retention -- we don't wait for the results of an end of the year test. In some cases, retaining children who are below grade level is an option, but it isn't the first one we look to, especially not if there are LD or ESOL concerns.[/quote]
