What happens to students who do not meet the standards?
Students will have multiple opportunities to be assessed to be successful. Time is their ally. If they do not achieve the standards the first time, they may receive additional help. Additional help may be anything from an extension of time on a task, to a mentor, to different materials-all within the same peer group or classroom. In the unlikely event that different teaching strategies do not help a student, a student could transfer to another school or district, provided both districts agree.
