  Case: Pushing on-level students into honors classes
Larry has been in your honors class all semester and has struggled on formative and summative assessments, especially when it comes to writing. At the beginning of the semester, you spoke with the counselor about your concerns and she shares that Larry's parents waived him into the class and that his standardized test scores showed that he had barely met standards the previous year. You have been in touch with his parents all semester but registration is coming around and they want to know if you are planning to recommend him for honors again next year. What is the best way to handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You could give Larry assessments, performance task, and other activities that are on-level, then have a parent teacher conference to show Larry's parents the difference in the quality of his performance with assessments and task that are on-level, compared to those that are honors level assessments and tasks.
