[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When are they releasing individual scores?[/quote] They are mailing the scores home this month. [/quote]

We had our W3EdNet meeting with DCPS and the DME's office last night.  DCPS person said that they *hoped* that individual results would be sent to schools before the break.  Then schools would send out individual results.  The implication was that individual results would likely not get home until *after* the winter break.  Folks should be attentive to how scores are sent home (i.e. mailed or placed in backpacks).  The DCPS rep said that was up to the school as to how to do it.

Do the schools have the individual results, and if so what are they doing with it? Will teachers see the data, or is it all for naught?[/quote]

My understanding is that the schools get the individual results.  I further was led to believe that access to those results will be a little compartmentalized, i.e. not everyone in the school will be able to see them.  But your child's current teacher and their teacher from the previous year will have access to your child's results from last year, as well as any teacher who has a "need to know".

Moreover, the DCPS rep on Wednesday suggested that schools will have more detailed data to look at what specific skills kids are struggling with or excelling at.  Hopefully this kind of detailed data will help teachers address specific needs of kids and whole classes, and help the school systems (both DCPS and charters) think about how to adjust curriculums.  We pressed her on whether aggregate versions of this type of information -- i.e. 3rd graders can handle place value when adding but for some reason have difficulty when it comes to subtraction (I made this up) -- could be released to the public.  The impression I had was it was pretty unlikely, but it might be conversation that LSATs could have with their principals.
