Case: Advanced…but not advanced…student A student was placed in an advanced language arts class as a sixth grader. When reviewing his assessment data, it's clear how he got placed in the class. He scored an 888 in ELA on the CRCT and a 857 in Reading. His work habits, motivation, and skill levels (writing particularly) do not coincide with these high scores. The student is failing ELA at the end of first quarter. Upon further research, it appears he scored a 180 on the 5th Grade Writing Test last year. This score is not meeting. This week is parent-teacher conferences. Does the teacher recommend the student be placed in a general ELA class for second quarter, or does the teacher offer one more quarter for student improvement? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Even though the student scored on the higher end when he took the CRCRT, the advanced language course seems to be slowing him down. I would try and resolve this immediately by recommending that he go to a general ELA class. If he is making failing grades at the end of the first quarter, then I think that the parents would appreciate you trying to suggest something that could in fact help their child. Sometimes it can be too late if we wait before doing anything. We don't want to hinder the child if the child is struggling. |
