ACE in 1st Grade

1st Grade is implementing the ACE model with huge success.  Teachers used the ACE model for their short cycle assessment in math.  

10 students earned a 4.  That means almost 50% of the class was advanced on the post assessment.  This particular teacher was beaming with pride, because 6 out of these children were ELLs.

This strategy was successful because a large group of children earned a 3.  A grade of a 3 means proficient.

If you look at this picture you will see two problems with a red dot.  A red dot means a one time opportunity to fix an error.  A strategy used to teach children to go back and check their work. 

3 students earned a 2.  A grade of a 2 means that the children were nearing proficiency.  These students will receive additional support during conceptual refinement.  There were zero students who earned a 1.  A grade of a 1 means beginning step.
