Case: Gkids/Common Core Standards
In kindergarten, we are expected to complete the Gkids assessments and grade based on the common core standards. Often these two things do not match, the Gkids assessments are much less rigorous than the common core standards. How can both be utilized effectively?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I found it frustrating to use both the GKIDS assessments and the Common Core standards. The two do not match up and assess the same skills. One or the other should be used. I think the students must be able to do the GKIDS skills before they can do the Common Core skills. The Common Core standards are much more rigorous than the GKIDS ever were. Coming from an EIP kindergarten class, it made more sense to use the GKIDS standards to assess the students. However, my school's curriculum was focused around the common core standards. The GKIDS do overlap in some areas, but for the most part, you can assess the GKIDS all in the beginning of the year. The common core standards are what you are building up to. |

Comments: I would not use this solution. If the common core standards are what students are expected to learn and master then they should be used rather than the GKIDS assessments. |
