New Cut Scores: Hang in there

Just wanted to call everyone's attention to the fact that the State Board of Education met on Friday to discuss raising cut scores...

FIND OUT ABOUT IT HERE.

For those of you who enjoy reading things straight from the horse's mouth, see the document explaining cut scores and new standards HERE!

There's also a great discussion about "Cut Scores" and "Annual Measurable Outcomes (AMOs)" HERE.

Not much more today, but I wanted to be timely in getting this stuff out to you.

If you're interested in staying in the loop about State Board of Education updates and changes, they have an RSS feed HERE.

BLOUNT TODAY RAN A GREAT PIECE that ties all this stuff together--higher standards, Race to the Top, increased graduation standards, and leadership changes in schools.

It's time for us to show support like never before to schools as they go through these changes. THANKS, teachers, for all you do. THANKS, community, for all the support you give to teachers and schools.
