Mr. Solinski is reviewing his students' permanent files before school starts. He is making notes about their scores on standardized tests, their grade reports, and their portfolio items, and he is paying particular attention to their IQ scores
What is the value of knowing students' IQ scores and how might Mr. Solinski use the information to benefit students?
What will be an ideal response?
Suggested Response: IQ scores have been shown to predict success in school. The IQ scores give Mr. Solinski information about the number of students who are likely performing at grade level, above grade level, and below grade level. IQ scores tell him something about the range of academic skills among the students in his classroom.
This information can be used to benefit students with instruction that meets their learning needs. Are some of the students gifted and in need of extra challenges? Are some students struggling in one or more areas and in need of extra support? This information can also be used to determine whether ability group instruction is needed and the level of differentiation required for each student to succeed.
