[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The model does report White/Asian/Other non-FARMs at the top, and then compares that to the 5 FOCUS sub-groups which are AA non-FARMs, Hispanic non-FARMs, AA FARMs, Hispanic FARMs, and White/Asian/Other FARMs.

The number "score" is based on the percentage of students in that group that met EOL objectives.  EOL is "Evidence of Learning" and a meets EOL objectives if they pass in 2/3 categories.  The categories are: evaluation by classroom teacher (grades); evaluation by district measures (county-wide end of quarter tests); and evaluation by outside measures (standardized tests).

A student can "pass" the EOL evaluation by meeting standards in the classroom and on district-wide measures even if they fail the standardized test.

At least this is my understanding of how MCPS has set this up.[/quote]

So MCPS now tries to press the schools to grade students based on different standards for different focus groups? I don't think there is anything can be done with the standardized tests. Maybe this is why MCPS only requires 2 out of the 3 measures for the Equity Accountability score. Is this even legal?

Thank goodness everyone gets an A or a B.

I think a jack smith is in to something here: the Achievement Gap will be nil very soon!  Graduation rates will skyrocket, evidence of learning will proliferate, “academic progress” will be stellar, and “limited English proficiency” will be what it will be given the nonstop influx of illegals.

The district tests are ridiculous and they basically feed the student the answers. They are a complete waste of time. [/quote]
