[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The model does report White/Asian/Other non-FARMs at the top, and then compares that to the 5 FOCUS sub-groups which are AA non-FARMs, Hispanic non-FARMs, AA FARMs, Hispanic FARMs, and White/Asian/Other FARMs.

The number "score" is based on the percentage of students in that group that met EOL objectives.  EOL is "Evidence of Learning" and a meets EOL objectives if they pass in 2/3 categories.  The categories are: evaluation by classroom teacher (grades); evaluation by district measures (county-wide end of quarter tests); and evaluation by outside measures (standardized tests).

A student can "pass" the EOL evaluation by meeting standards in the classroom and on district-wide measures even if they fail the standardized test.

At least this is my understanding of how MCPS has set this up.[/quote]

[b]So MCPS now tries to press the schools to grade students based on different standards for different focus groups?[/b] I don't think there is anything can be done with the standardized tests. Maybe this is why MCPS only requires 2 out of the 3 measures for the Equity Accountability score. Is this even legal?

Not true.[/quote]
