For grades 2-5, assessment scores are used to assign different sets of foundational objectives from previous grade levels chosen to accelerate students to grade level work. Students are assigned sets of content based on whether they are assessed one grade or multiple grades below their current grade level. For grades 6-8, assessment scores can be used to assign individual foundational objectives based on domain scores. ST Math: Assessment Support Tool is available for rostered districts only.
It is widely believed that students who spend time on below-grade-level content will catch up, but we have found that is not the case. They are capable of working through challenges with persistence and perseverance to develop a deep conceptual understanding of math.
Summer school students, and educators alike, are doing everything they can to get back on track for the coming fall. We've found that students in fact, don't play "catch up" at all. By rushing the pace at which objectives are meant to be covered, the material never sticks before moving on to the next one.
Stick to grade-level content and instructional rigor.
Focus on the depth of instruction, rather than the pace.
Prioritize content and learning.
Maintain the inclusion of each and every learner.
Identify and address gaps in learning through instruction, avoiding the misuse of standardized testing to place kids into high or low ability groups or provide low levels of instructional rigor to lower performing students.
Capitalize on commonalities, not differences.
