The State Has No Idea" by Ron French en-us 2018-07-09 22:12:00 UTC 2018-07-15 17:59:57 UTC hello@padlet.com lesliecicala https://padlet.com/lesliecicala/conceptmap1/wish/269778771

Starting in the 2019-2020 School Year, those in Michigan that are a grade behind in Reading will be held back in Third Grade.

The State of Michigan does not have a way to identify those to be held back.

The State of Michigan passed a law in October of 2016 that those that are more than a grade behind in their reading skills will be held back in the Third Grade.

The M-Step is used to assess students 3rd-8th Grades, but doesn't test for reading skills.

Schools don't know how the state will hold students back.

State of Michigan spent $80 million to improve reading skills, but test scores for ELA keep dropping.

According to Doug Greer, director of school improvement for Ottawa Intermediate School District, makes the guess that the percentage of students needing to be retained would be close to the percentage of students who earned "not proficient" in the 4 categories of the M-Step.

If Greer's standard is to be used, then based on the 2016-2017 test 30% of 3rd Graders that scored at the bottom would have to repeat.

With different interventions being used there all over is no guarantee the students will do well on the M-Step.

This is supposed to be determined by the M-Step scores taken in the Spring of Third Grade.

It is the state's goal to improve reading skills.

It would be 31,000 students held back.
