Summary:

The State DOE changed the
literacy and numeracy requirements for the Modified Standard Diploma, and
allowed the changes to be retroactive. How can I identify students
that now meet the requirements? |
Details:

The requirements for the
Modified Standard Diploma have been changed by the DOE to allow students
earning a scaled score of 299 or above on the 8th Grade English
RLR test to meet the literacy requirements, and students earning a scaled
score of 360 or above on the 8th Grade Math test to meet the
numeracy requirements. These changes are retroactive to previously
administered tests. Starting with build 41, the software was modified to
accommodate for these changes, and any report or screen that reports
Modified Standard Diploma statuses will use the new guidelines.
A special report was added to identify students that now meet the Modified
Standard Diploma requirements, but did not before the changes to the
literacy and numeracy requirements for the 8th grade tests. This
report is TESTING SUMMARIES, STUDENTS MEETING RETROACTIVE MODIFIED DIPLOMA
REQUIREMENTS (QuickFinder Code: GRRETMSD). Note that this report only
displays students that had not previously met the requirements, and will
prompt for a grade level range of students to display. For a list of all
students that currently meet the Modified Standard Diploma requirements,
you can run the TESTING SUMMARIES, STUDENTS AND HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA
REQUIREMENTS (QuickFinder Code: GRHSDR) report. This report lists all
diplomas, but combining it with an Advanced Search that limits to
only Special Education students will likely filter down to just Modified
Standard Diplomas. |
