It was interesting to see that IEP's are averaged into the AYP scores for schools. This really sheds light on the discrepensies of the NCLB act.
As far as my own presentation on reading scores of 9 year olds, I tried to say that I felt that although the testing instrument stayed the same, the varying ways by which teachers teach students could have an impact on test scores. Also, why is it that whites score higher than their counterparts. Perhaps we are not sensative to the way we teach students of different cultures or that they do not learn in the style that we as educators hold our classroom environment?

I agree that some teachers must not be sensitive to studnets cultural backgrounds. something is going wrong in education if so many studnets w/ diverse cultural backgrounds on not scoreing well on the PSSA's!
