@ToddTruitt76508 Are you aware of/involved in any other efforts to bring VA math course offerings and standards more in line with high-performing nations? Math isn’t my main area of work but curious to know!
@ToddTruitt76508 Thanks for article link will check it out. The SOA is 8VAC20-131-90.C https://t.co/lRSpj58mfq VMPI (as I understood it) wanted to bring international norms for high quality math coursework to VA but all many people heard was “no higher level math classes”.
@ToddTruitt76508 Sec. Holton is a smart cookie so I would say it was more estimating than fabricating. I wonder how they modeled their numbers at all since so much is unknown about the "readiness" part of the calculation, which is huge for high schools (35% of rating).
If you are interested in providing your perspective on the new accountability system, under which 50-70% of Virginia's schools will likely be labeled as "off track" this school year, please comment on the Virginia Town Hall: https://t.co/QzIA1LikVG
State Secretary of Education Aimee Guidera sent a message to the admin’s edu stakeholders asking them to tweet & refute what she calls a “mis-information campaign” against the state’s new school accountability system, which will likely label most of Va’s schools as “off track”
@ToddTruitt76508 "Off track" will be 79 or fewer points on the overall index, right? Just eyeballing those models, I see maybe 4 "orange" elementary schools that would get 80 points or higher, and no orange middle schools? That's only looking at poverty, too, not EL populations.
@ToddTruitt76508@VDOE_News The rush is in implementation - going into effect for this school year weeks after school had started in many places. If I set a goal for 80% or more of the VA Board of Ed to be licensed educators by the end of this year, how likely would they be to succeed in that time frame?
A week ago the @VDOE_News Board of Education held a “special meeting” to rush through a new accountability system for THIS SCHOOL YEAR (which in most of Virginia started weeks ago). 1/3
@ToddTruitt76508 Do you think there will be a public school serving primarily high need populations anywhere in Virginia that will be considered "on track" using these weightings?
