[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid scored below the intervention cut-off, have you heard what the intervention of plan is?[/quote]

What is the intervention score? is it the overall score or the individual scores? [/quote]

DP - on DC's score sheet, it states 39 percentile is the intervention score. DC scored in the 20s percentile and has an IEP. DC also failed Spring SOLs. I'm concerned because according to the teacher and IEP progress reports, DC is doing well and making sufficient progress. [/quote]

Your child needs additional help. I would be asking for an conference and ask why the scores are showing something so different then what the teacher is saying and what they are going to be doing to address the issues. I worry that some Teachers are trying to present a more pretty picture this year.

My question on the intervention is more if a child has one score that is below expectations but is overall, above the 39th percentile, do they receive intervention in the area that they are below expectations.

I would be pissed if I were you and the school was not offering interventions, your child is screaming for help in the exams. Your concern tells me that you are tracking that there is an issue. I hope that your child has their needs addressed. [/quote]

I’d keep in mind that this is only one assessment. [b]Is it possible the child is making adequate progress towards IEP goals while at the same time scoring below the 39th percentile? I imagine so.

DC also failed 2 out of 3 SOLs last Spring even though again, the teachers and IEP progress reports states that DC was doing well for last year and 1st quarter of this year.  I'm going to request an IEP meeting. They are either saying DC is doing well so they don't provide additional interventions or the current IEP goals do not reflect areas that DC needs help in.

Why do you even believe the school at this point? Take matters into your own hands and don’t just rely on them. Get your kid a tutor for God’s sake![/quote]

Tutoring in the DC area, especially for special ed students is about $60-90/hour. Some parents cannot afford that. It is not acceptable that the school is telling a parent the student is doing very well but the students in failing or below grade levels on all their assessments.

But if a student is so far below the norms, the parent is going to have to step up outside of school and make sacrifices to get the extra help. A kid can’t get it all at school in a large group setting. [/quote]

Do you know how much money that is? Some people really can't. I can and do afford it, but it shouldn't have to be all up to parents. Schools are really failing students.[/quote]

This is part of being a parent. If it was a medical issue, you would also have to step up financially. If your kid has a severe LD, you must sacrifice and step up and find a way to pay for extra help, just like if it were a serious medical issue.[/quote]
