2017-18 World’s Best Workforce Results

October 29, 2018 What is the World’s Best Workforce Legislation?

Under Minnesota Statutes, section 120B.11, school boards are to adopt a long-term, comprehensive strategic plan to support and improve teaching and learning. This plan addresses the following five goals:

• All children are ready for school
• All third-graders can read at grade level
• All racial and economic achievement gaps between students are closed.
• All students are ready for career and college.
• All students graduate from high school

Why is the State of Minnesota focused on this?

Our population is aging. Seventy percent (70%) of jobs will require more than a high school diploma by 2018. We don’t have an adequate number of qualified candidates to fill many good-paying jobs. The fastest growing segment of our future workforce is students of color, and they currently have the state’s lowest graduation rate. Minnesota has one of the worst black-white achievement gaps in the country.

Historical Timeline

• How are we focused on the whole child? Language, Social Emotional, Physical,

Cognitive? 2017-18 Goals:

• Implementation of Social Emotional Learning inventories
• Percent of students ages three (3) - PreK who meet age appropriate literacy learning

expectations will increase from 91.2% to 96.2%.

GOAL 2: All Third Graders Reading at Grade Level

Data Observations:

• In 2018, third grade reading results went down 8.5 points.
• New reading materials and instructional changes were introduced to this group in the prior year.
• Expected a dip in 2017, observing one in 2018. Research suggests an “implementation dip” can
• ccur when an increase in complexity is realized through a change process.

GOAL 2: All Third Graders Reading at Grade Level

Data Observations:

• High Achieving students

are hitting typical and accelerated projected growth above what is expected

• Focused Intervention

Students make typical and accelerated projected growth at expected rates.

• Average students and

those at the very lowest achievement levels did not meet their projected growth targets at the same rates.

What we expect for all students in Edina
