Presentation to the Trenton Board of Education 2017-18 School Year

ANDERSON & HEDKE Welcome you to your elementary schools!

Format for tonight – The Board’s 4 Strategic Goals

» 3 areas of focus/attention ˃ MSTEP ˃ 3 rd Grade Reading Legislation + I-READY ˃ NWEA-MAP assessment comparison

» Moving Target – ˃ Changed formats ˃ Changed scoring methodology + Both make reliability less ˃ Changed time of year it is given + We agree with this however  ˃ Changed tests given at different levels + Hard to compare year to year ˃ Disconnect between assessment and reporting of scores

» M-STEP is a widely reported measurement used to compare schools » Compare Anderson to Hedke » Compare Trenton Elementary Schools to adjacent school districts and other schools and districts downriver » Compare Trenton Elementary Schools to high performing school and districts

» Anderson compared to Hedke Anderson Hedke

• Both Hedke and Anderson perform above the state average on the MSTEP Summative Assessment • Both Hedke and Anderson perform at or near the top in comparison to districts that touch us • Both Hedke and Anderson perform at or near the top of all elementary schools downriver • Neither Hedke nor Anderson would be the lowest performing school compared to those in the highest performing districts in Wayne County

Beginning in two school years (2019-2020 SY) 3 rd graders (this year’s 1 st graders) Students that are one or more academic years behind in reading must be retained

» By the 2017-18 School year (this year) » Districts must ˃ Utilize a literacy coach to … + Support teachers in the 5 domains of literacy + Model literacy instruction + Provide professional development to teachers + Assist in analyzing student data

DISTRICTS MUST … » Assess students 3x per year using a universal screener » Notify families if their child is identified as having a deficit in reading » Develop a school / home reading plan » Develop a literacy intervention process » Growth monitor students who are below desired level

» Both elementary schools have met all of the requirements of the 3 rd grade legislation by building on programs that were already in place
