  2. “We regard evidence of learning gains by students taught as the most important accomplishment to monitor. We argue that student learning is both the professional touchstone for teachers and the reason why schools exist, and that regardless of what else is examined in assessing a teacher’s work or a school’s worth, the learning gains of students taught must be taken into account.” -Schalockand Schalock, 1993

Specifically, on the post assessment, which will be a state released SOL test administered spring 2013: group 1 students will achieve a score ranging between 40% to 50%, group 2 students will achieve a score ranging between 51% to 65%, group 3 students will achieve a score ranging between 66% to 76%, and group 4 will achieve a score ranging between 77% to 100%.”
