[quote=Anonymous]A good amount of the increase in reporting and data collection from teachers is from MCPS. I'm in a smaller district now and the grades are % based and easy for the teachers to enter - no secret second grading system that was entered into the system for MCPS purposes and then not shared with parents. I'll bet many parents have no idea that teachers under the elementary school  P system had to enter multiple values that were more granular with + or _ per rubric. You only saw a P or a random ES but there was a ridiculous amount of data being gathered and quotas - not too many ES grades, how many kids below grade level going on behind the scenes.

In MCPS there was a data specialist assigned or percentage of one assigned to each school - this is in addition to the huge staff within MCPS doing this. In a smaller school systems its one administrator and so much saner!

This gets played out all over the place. A small school system has maybe one IT guy and a back up company that provides support. There is no big IT staff with employment longevity and aging skills.
