[quote=Anonymous]The initial policy was made with a cohort of teachers. I was on the elementary committee which only made minor changes but we were part of the drafting process and every teacher in APS was given the opportunity to comment on the draft as well. I think the need for the midyear change was because of the drastic increase in workload caused by this policy at the high school level and that it was clearly being driven by students who were already performing at or above proficiency “B” level before the retake. My child who is an APS high schooler in AP and intensified classes included, was benefiting. The purpose was to bring up the lower performing students and the bulk of the workload ended up being students on the other end. Mostly those kids chasing A’s. [/quote]
