[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP had a valid point. As a parent, SOLs are meaningless. [/quote] I understand. As a teacher, I know that we are transitioning to an evaluation system in which 40% of our evaluation will be based upon student progress. [b]While I don't agree with the new system, SOL scores will be used as a measure. [/b]As long as that is in place, I hope there won't be many parents who convey this to their students.[/quote] This is not necessarily true. In my FCPS high school, [b]we have been allowed to choose what we are evaluated on as far as student progress[/b] - so it could be a reading test, a writing assessment, oral presentations given throughout the year, or an SOL test. [/quote] [b]For now[/b] we could do that for our SMART goals, but that is going to change. From the training I went to last summer all other districts in the state are using an SOL formula index. We are headed there too.[/quote]
