Your student is working on a fifth-grade reading standard. The standard reads: “NCRL.5.1 Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.”
When we look deeply into this standard you will discover your student needs to learn a few things, such as:
quoting correctly from a text to support my explanation of what a text explicitly says.
quoting correctly from a text to support my inference about the text.
(Public Schools of North Carolina, 2018)
Questions to ask your child's teacher
Questions to ask your child's teacher
What do you use to assess student learning?
What opportunities do you provide during instruction to practice mastery of the standard?
How do you inform students about their performance?
Do you use multiple sources of assessment data to determine standard mastery? What do you use?
Next, you will explore the difference in standards-based and traditional learning.
The learning cycle featured in this project is based on the STAR Legacy Cycle developed by the IRIS Center (2013; http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu), and based on the work of Dr. John Branford and colleagues (National Research Council, 2000).
