IMA - I need you assistance please
by Deb ms/IA
May 26, 2009
School wants to dump AR. I have seen my students gain so much over the last 10 years that I don't want it booted. What reports do I present to my administration (namely the super who is greatly opposed to AR) to show proof of growth, goal setting.....? What research can I pull that supports AR in the middle school grades?

If you can help I'd appreciate it greatly!!!!

I guess you'd have to call Renaissance to find out. My guess is that it could be really expensive. Schools are able to cost it out due to the initial purchase and then yearly renewals pe...See More

CCC How about buying a notebook and conferencing with your students about the books they're reading? Not expensive and more effective.

Mary Anne Deb, Our school system is also looking a dropping AR and AM this year because of the cost to the system to subscribe each of the schools. I think our school is going to continue the subscription no matter what the system does because we feel it does help our students.
