A Lexile or Quantile measure is not a label. It is a starting point for growth. 🌱 Learn how educators can help students understand their measures, recognize their progress, and set goals for what comes next. Read more: hub.lexile.com/turning-score… #Lexile #Quantile

What are parents really seeing when they look at their child’s grades? A recent @The74Million article takes a closer look at changing parent perceptions of student achievement — and why grades don’t always tell the full story. The article highlights new data from @BeALearningHero and the work of Bibb Hubbard and the Learning Heroes team to help families better understand how their children are doing. A shout-out to Cindi Williams as well for helping bring families into these important conversations. Worth a read. 👇 #Education #Assessment #ParentEngagement
Grades can give the false impression that students are on track. A Learning Heroes survey suggests parents are beginning to question what schools tell them bit.ly/4z3Gk29

This conversation also connects to @bellwetherorg's Proficiency Confusion report, which explores why achievement labels can be difficult for families to interpret. Families need meaningful context to understand what students know and can do. bellwether.org/publications/…
