Board Presentation June 23, 2015 We begin supporting each student - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Board Presentation June 23, 2015

• We begin supporting each student the moment he or she is enrolled in our district.

Data Mining Terra Nova Test Results Our students took pre-tests in September and post-tests in January. Our first presentation looked at how our district was performing. This presentation is an analysis of how our children are performing in each grade, in each subject, and in our schools. These data will serve as a tool for assisting principals in the school improvement process and for planning targeted professional development for next year. Our goal is continual improvement. We are looking for evidence of growth.

Standardized Achievement Test • Measures skills and knowledge that students are expected to acquire as they progress through each grade. • Individual or group scores may be compared with norms which allow educators to compare achievement results between groups of students. • Test results can be used to make comparisons over time • Terra Nova aligned with Common Core and PARCC

Sample Graphs

Gold Star indicates that scores met or exceeded Achievement Gap national target  For each content area  Reading  Language  Mathematics  District Projection  Given the starting point in grade three, projecting through 6.5  Nation  Grade Equivalent  Achievement is at the performance level typical of students from the national sample at the same grade and month  GE reflect scores of those children in each grade. These scores do not reflect the same group of students progressing from one grade to another.

Sample School-Grade 5 Blue Star indicates that scores met or exceeded  School and Grade district target  Reading Blue down arrow indicates that scores did not meet district target  Language  Mathematics Red down arrow indicates no growth  Grade Mean Equivalent  Indicates the year and month of school  3.5 means  Achievement is at the performance level typical of students from the national sample who have completed the fifth month of grade 3.  Based on the median score (the middle score)  Terra Nova Scores  Beginning (ORANGE)  Terra Nova September Scores  Expected (BLUE)  District expects growth over the time children are in school (5 months)  Actual (GREEN)  January Reached Target  Actual (RED)  January Below Target

Sample (Reading/Language/Math) By Grade as compared to the national target.  For each school  Reading  Language  Mathematics  Beginning (ORANGE)  Terra Nova September Scores  Actual (GREEN)  Terra Nova January Scores  Nation  Achievement is at the performance level typical of students from the national sample who have completed the fifth month of grade 3.

Content Area District- Wide  Reading  Language  Mathematics  Terra Nova January Scores  Nation  Achievement is at the performance level typical of students from the national sample who have completed the fifth month of grade 3.

Gain Score  This graph displays the difference between the district expectations and the scores for each school in each content area  Reading  Language  Mathematics  The zero point is there to show that in some cases, a school might have been below the district growth expectations.
