I am slowly working my way through this book, after waiting forever for it to be available. I am confused by what is said in Chapter 10. It states that "most teachers have been erroneously taught that grade level equivalencies on grade level achievement tests do not reflect the grade level education that a student can actually handle." It goes on to add, "When a fifth grader receives a tenth-grade equivalency score, it means that the child is ready for the same curriculum as a typical tenth-grade student." I have always been told the same thing, not to look at the GLE as a grade level of work the child could handle. Can anyone shed some light on this topic for me?
