*Is 28 his instructional level or his independent level? (As in, does he make errors at 28, and therefore needs instruction, or does he pass the test at 28? Teachers will use both numbers with parents without qualifying which is which.)
If 28 is independent:
*"How do you target his instruction so that he can continue to grow without finding his instructional level?" You might be surprised. A lot of teachers know what they're doing
Okay this is where it gets a little dodgey. At the beginning of the year in September, they tested put him on 28 and I asked "is that is instructional level or his independant level" She told me it was "both." I knew then they had ceilinged him.... But with him testing at the beginning of the year at the "end of the year level" I didn't want to make it a big deal and plus I am already a huge PITA for them and just wanted to not be once in a awhile
. I KNEW what this meant but I didn't say anything at all..... I figured "well they can't keep him there all year so no big deal" He'll still progress nicely. What I didn't know was their intention to make sure this didn't happen again. Well, lesson learned - just be a pain about every darn thing because here we are...
