Student Promotion and the Third Grade Reading Guarantee | Ohio Department of Education - 0 views

  • If a student scores below 392 on the fall and spring reading OAAs
  • recommended that the student continue to receive intensive reading remediation services
  • If the student can demonstrate reading proficiency on the state assessment at the end of the summer, the student will be promoted to the fourth grade before school starts in the fall.

      This is a nice idea. However, how motivated would a child be while attending summer school? On the other hand, I think a child would be embarrassed to repeat the third grade...

  • summer
  • Any student retained by the Third Grade Reading Guarantee is eligible to be promoted during that school year in accordance with the district’s established midyear promotion policy.

      Wouldn't these kiddos be behind in the rest of their academics? I am not sure what the repercussions would be based on the midyear integration. 
  • Once a student is promoted midyear, they are considered a fourth grade student in all subjects and will take the fourth grade state assessments.
  • For each student retained under division (A) of this section who has demonstrated proficiency in a specific academic ability field, each district shall provide instruction commensurate with student achievement levels in that specific academic ability field. As used in this division, "specific academic ability field" has the same meaning as in section 3324.01 of the Revised Code.

      Does this mean more jobs will be necessary to 'bridge the gap'? My head is spinning with the complexities of this new requirement.

Third Grade Literacy Policies: Identification, Intervention, Retention - 0 views

    • Annaliese Fedorchak
       
      I think that within "Lessons learned from Florida" it is evident that teaching practices need to build and support our students so that they are indeed able to use higher level thinking in order to perform. We need to be teaching reading for enjoyment and meaning, not reading for speed or to pass a grade. It is horrible to put that amount of pressure on our young students...

      I strongly suggest reading this article. There are some profound insights and implications that can benefit our teaching strategies and student success rates.

Third Grade Reading Guarantee | StateImpact Ohio - 0 views

  • score below a certain level on the state reading test.
  • Exceptions apply to students who are learning English and in special education programs and to students who have been behind in reading in past years, have been held back before and have received extra help. 
  • schools can still promote students who don’t pass the third grade reading test if the principal and student’s reading teacher agree
    • Annaliese Fedorchak
       
      If this is the case, then why even have this Reading Guarantee? I don't agree with this new requirement because I don't feel that this sort of assessment truly measures student knowledge and ability...
