<DIV>I would reply that yes, we will be pulling students to meet their
educational needs.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Common Core (page 4 of LA & Math) states," The standards set grade
specific standards but do not define the intervention methods or materials
necessary to support students who are well below or well above grade level
expectations." </DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>While classroom teachers will "monitor all the students multiple times
a year", monitoring is meaningless unless multiple pre-assessments are
done to determine starting points of every student, with resulting
appropriate curriculum and instructional adjustments. GISs will be
pre-assessing, adjusting instruction and documenting growth on <EM>above
grade level</EM> standards. Holding students to grade level
standards limits growth and is based on the least important data
point...the child's chronological age.</DIV>

I know (a GIS), asked his/her administrators to consider <BR>clustering gifted
students next year as one way to help affect academic <BR>growth in these
students, and to try to avoid conflict with "specials" <BR>on the days he/she
meets with gifted students. He/she received the <BR>following note and
question (which has been paraphrased) from one of <BR>his/her administrators.
<BR><BR>If you received a similar note & question, how would you
reply? How <BR>should he/she
reply?<BR><BR>------------------------<BR><BR>Teachers at AnyName Elementary
School are very aware of growth, using <BR>the new report card measures, and
as we progress, we monitor all <BR>students multiple times each year.
Which brings me to the gifted <BR>program in our school. Are we still
going to have gifted intervention <BR>specialists pulling students out
of the regular classrooms on a regular <BR>basis. If so, what measurements
will you be able to show me with <BR>progress
monitoring?<BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Ohiogift
