[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are required to have a [b]251[/b] Map-M. Although this is common for every DCUM poster, it is not common overall for 4th graders in this county. Regardless of where kids live, this is a reach score. [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]Another teacher here. This is definitely true. That doesn’t mean that nothing will change, but at this point the guidance states that kids must have very high MAP scores, advanced level on all district assessments, and all A’s through the 3 quarters. Most kids will be knocked out with the MAP requirement.[/quote]

So how likely is it that someone at AEI/DCCAPS responsible for analyzing possible cutoffs transposed the 5 and the 1 in their report, the numbers were shoved up the chain without proper editorial review, and someone at the higher level ran with it, realizing such extreme restriction tended to fix multiple political/budgetary problems for them?  A MAP-M of 215 in 3rd grade would be a more natural litmus test that could then allow the population to be winnowed down by grades, teacher recommendations, etc.

Separately, as far as delivery goes, achieving cohorted instruction while offering sufficient differentiation/acceleration might be a silver lining of the forced experiment in virtual learning.[/quote]
