MCAS 2006 Strengths
  • Elementary
  • Gr. 4 math - proficient improved in 4/5 strands
  • Gr. 4 math - improved open response question
    performance
  • Understanding fiction, writing conventions
  • Middle School
  • Math - data analysis
  • Understanding text, identifying genres, writing
    conventions
  • High School
  • 95 competency determination
  • Steady increase of Adv/Prof in ELA Math
  • Math open response mean score rose from 2.90 to
    3.17
  • Composition English conventions

12
MCAS 2006 Areas for Improvement
  • Elementary
  • Multi-step problems (math), open response
    questions
  • Geometry
  • Vocabulary, English structure, style in text,
    poetry
  • Examine differences across elementary schools
  • Middle School
  • Multi-step problems, open response questions
  • Patterns/relations/algebra
  • English structure, style in text
  • High School
  • Geometry strand a relative weakness
  • Short answer questions in math
  • Reading intro material, footnotes citations
  • Vocabulary definitions, synonyms/antonyms

13
District Analysis Next Steps
  • Elementary
  • Monitor 60-70 mins daily math instructional time
  • Additional Investigations unit PD
  • Supplementary geometry unit implementation, grs.
    3-4
  • TOA consulting coaching
  • Collaborative lesson planning and sharing results
  • Ongoing assessment of student progress
  • Middle school
  • Yr. 2 phase-in of standards-based math program
    (CMP 2)
  • Training to support each new unit introduced -
    classroom sped
  • Title I services in ELA Math rearranged
  • Examining delivery of sped services
  • Developing uniform core assessments
  • Reading writing workshop courses

14
District Analysis Next Steps
  • High school
  • Areas of focus
  • Revision of curriculum to align w/ new standards
  • Looking at student work (benchmark assessments)
  • Test-taking strategies instruction
  • Continue to improve MS - HS transition

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)How is it
calculated?
A (B or C) D AYP A Participation rate
95 or gt in MCAS/MCAS-Alt B Performance 80.5
or gt CPI in ELA 68.7 or gt CPI in Math C
Improvement meet/exceed cycle IV improvement
target D Attendance/Competency Determination
Grs. 3-8 - 92 or gt attendance rate HS 70 or
gt pass both ELA Math gr. 10 MCAS
17
Steps to Improve AYP
  • Middle school - identified for improvement, year
    2
  • School improvement plan revised
  • Supplemental educational services for low income
    students
  • Weekly practice in identified areas of weakness
  • Examining ways of providing support to students
    w/in school day
  • After school tutorials in math, funded by Title I
    MS budget
  • District-wide
  • MCAS analysis by grade subject during in
    service time
  • Local assessments to drive instruction monitor
    progress
  • Warning students - in-depth assessment,
    analysis intervention
  • Revised ISSP protocol for students in
    warning/failing category
  • Curriculum specialist consults w/ sped
    classroom teachers
  • 3-tiered approach of support
  • In-class - differentiated instruction
  • Gen ed - supplemental instructional support
  • Sped - changing model using best practices

18
Steps to Improve AYP (cont.)
  • Math
  • New program implementation - Investigations,
    Connected Math 2
  • Before/after-school tutorial programs for
    struggling math students
  • Professional development
  • Training in use of new units by book/topic
  • Elem collaborative lesson planning and
    examination of data
  • MS in service time developing core math
    assessments
  • K-12 study group using math assessments to
    inform instruction
  • ELA
  • Full implementation of Sitton spelling
    program
  • Professional development
  • K-2 phonemic awareness running record
    assessment training
  • MS - content area reading strategies work
    continued
  • K-2 reading writing workshop study groups
  • 3-12 - reading and writing 36-hour courses
  • Share elem/MS instructional resources to
    bridge gap for life skills class
