The chair of the House Education Committee is wasting little time trying to dig deeper into the recently released M-STEP exam scores.
State Representative Amanda Price says she’ll have plenty of questions for the Michigan Department of Education at a hearing Thursday, including a better breakdown of scores within each category.
She’d also like to know if kids are starting to catch on to Common Core.
State Representative Adam Zemke is also on the committee and wants to know if the results will give teachers more useful information.
Scores released Tuesday show less than half of all the students who took the exam were proficient in math while nearly half of them were proficient in English.
Students took the test for the first time last spring.
