Report Card Time
It’s AYP report card time in districts across the nation.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer is covering Northeast Ohio’s results, with a good set of articles that goes beyond rankings and scores to explain in simple terms how the results are calculated and why striving to make AYP is an exercise in futility.
- Ohio school report card puts pressure on districts to reach ‘excellent’ ranking (August 14)
- Ohio report card penalizes some districts despite improvement (August 15)
- Ohio schools testing standards ‘virtually impossible to meet’ (August 15)
Likewise, The Tennessean’s op-ed page warns against finger-pointing and delves into the complexities of AYP after two districts now face discipline for not adequately raising test scores for ELL and special ed students.
