[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: the MCPS teacher who wishes parents would start to raise a fuss about taking the MSA this year. We're honestly curious about *how* the MSA doesn't align with curriculum 2.0. Why wouldn't a standard test of reading and math skills be valid? Aren't decimals decimals? [/quote] night and day Tests do not always mirror each other. MSA prototype - http://www.mdk12.org/share/msa_publicrelease/2008/2008RdgMSAGr3.pdf Scroll down to see the questions. PARCC ELA prototype - http://www.parcconline.org/sites/parcc/files/PARCCGrade3.pdf bottom line - Kids who do well on the MSA will not necessarily do well on PARCC. Kids, however, who do well on PARCC will breeze through the MSA, as it's kid stuff! [/quote]
