The guidance I'm aware of came out for students currently in 4th grade and enrolled in Math 4/5 about if they take Math 5 next year or move on to 5/6. [b] The reason given was the loss of instructional time over the past year + to cover almost two years of content.

There was a score for Fall and a score for Spring, I understood from what I heard that students could meet either the Fall or the Spring score, plus they had to have grades or a teacher advocacy AND strong scores on the district assessments.  So it wasn't just MAP-M.

Since the spring MAP window is still open, it doesn't seem that the number of students who will qualify could be known at this point.

I also heard there will be new guidance for identifying students currently in 3rd grade, but I don't think that was shared yet.  It sounds like schools wont be making those decisions but they will come from Central Office like the CES list does.[/quote]
I think this is key. There is that other thread about how some 40% of the math curriculum was not taught this year due to DL.

We all know that there is also grade inflation.

Quite frankly,  I wish they would do this with all MSer, too. DD is in Algebra 7th grade, and I'm concerned that she is missing content. I'm making her review Algebra over the summer.  I think there are a lot of kids out there who have big black holes in their math understanding this year. [/quote]
