In the Spring will we retest kids who clearly rushed?

How is growth data valid if this is the only testing situation not being accommodated?]]> 2017-12-12 13:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ddistel1/ews2ptr0yiz4/wish/215404514 All Over the Board jwhitaker10 https://padlet.com/ddistel1/ews2ptr0yiz4/wish/215406331 Looking at the Quadrant Chart, I have students all over the board. High students showing great growth, High students showing negative growth, Low students showing good amount of growth and other low students in the negative... almost equally dispersed. ]]> 2017-12-12 13:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ddistel1/ews2ptr0yiz4/wish/215406331 In the fall, our students were low across the board with informational text. After a few months of consistently working with this type of text, this was an area where we saw improvement. https://padlet.com/ddistel1/ews2ptr0yiz4/wish/215447553 2017-12-12 15:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ddistel1/ews2ptr0yiz4/wish/215447553 Response ddistel1 https://padlet.com/ddistel1/ews2ptr0yiz4/wish/215569424 Just like with STAR we will need to provide a rationale with regards to why we would retest. We are able to but we it is not an automatic thing simply based upon a student not meeting growth.]]> 2017-12-12 18:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ddistel1/ews2ptr0yiz4/wish/215569424 Response ddistel1 https://padlet.com/ddistel1/ews2ptr0yiz4/wish/215570138 As a benchmark assessment we are following the recommendations with regards to the use of accommodations as provided by NWEA.  Administration  will discuss the results after the Winter benchmark and determine if there needs to be an adjustment to how we administer the assessment in the spring.

In looking at who did not meet growth, several were not a surprise, but most were.  We will be utilizing this benchmark to conference with the students and goal setting.]]> 2017-12-13 12:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ddistel1/ews2ptr0yiz4/wish/215758110
