[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since K through 3 have not been accelerated during his tenure (the "go-slow but deep") we have an appropriate control or comparator group to test your hypothesis.  Tell me how these kids are doing on outside metrics (e.g., MSA) last year, this year and the next?  It will be interesting to follow this cohort out.  So far, from what I have gathered from the recent summer MSA release results for the elementary school kids they are not holding ground but moving in reverse.  I do not believe any of these kids were accelerated or enriched under Starr; rather beneficiaries of a much deeper curriculum with emphasis on critical thinking and problem solving.[/quote]

As discussed at the very beginning of this thread, the MSAs are not a valid assessment of learning under the Common Core. So the fact that third graders taught third grade math under C 2.0 did not score as well as third graders taught third grade math under the curriculum the MSAs were designed to assess doesn't really say much.[/quote]

But, didn't MSA scores decline across the board, not just for third graders (the only ones taking MSA who had been taught under 2.0)?

which other grades take MSAs?[/quote]
