[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm afraid that there is a definite trend towards using Iready to guide children's placement. We've already heard that it is a factor in AAP. Hopefully this is eventually sorted out and replaced.[/quote] I don't think it's unreasonable to include an achievement test metric in the AAP packet. For kids scoring in the mildly advanced to advanced range, it shouldn't have much of an effect. For kids who typically have low scores, iready perhaps should tip the scales in favor of not including the kid in AAP or advanced math. Similarly, it should tip the scales in favor of admission to AAP or advanced math if the kid typically has very high scores. It is absurd that kids who are below grade level or who are failing SOLs are being included in AAP. It is likewise absurd that kids who are above grade level in all subjects are being excluded from AAP. [/quote]
