Urban/Rural Analysis Challenges

• How is “rural” defined?
• In Alaska, there are different types of rural.
• Hub (Dillingham, Bethel, Nome)
• Road system (Glennallen, Tok, Delta)
• Remote (Ruby, New Stuyahok, Kwethluk)
• A Lower-48 audience may classify cities Alaskans think of as

urban (e.g. Juneau) as rural.

• Some students residing in urban areas are enrolled in

correspondence schools in “rural” districts (Galena, Yukon-Koyukuk, Nenana).

• Mount Edgecumbe enrolls students from across the

state.

Kindergarten Readiness

• Districts administer the Alaska Developmental Profile

(ADP) to all kindergarten students.

• The ADP is a tool based on multiple teacher
• bservations recorded during the first four weeks of

school.

• The ADP includes 13 sets of skills and behaviors

(“goals”) in five domains.

• Three ratings
• 2 = Consistently demonstrates (80% or more of the time)
• 1 = Progressing
• 0 = Does not demonstrate (20% or less of the time)

Five Domains

• 1. Physical Well-Being, Health, and Motor

Development

• 1. Social and Emotional Development
• 1. Approaches to Learning
• 2. Cognition and General Knowledge
• 3. Communication, Language, and Literacy

Examples

• Social and Emotional Development
• Goal: Regulates their feelings and impulses
• Indicators:
• Shows ability to control impulses, with guidance
• Seeks peaceful resolution to conflict
• Stops and listens to instructions before starting an activity
• Cognition and General Knowledge
• Goal: Demonstrates knowledge of numbers and counting
• Indicators:
• Counts to 10 from memory
• Understands that when counting a set of items, each item must be

counted only once and none should be left out

• Uses math manipulatives (e.g., games, toys, and coins) in counting

activities

2015-2016 Statewide ADP Results

• Observations recorded for 9,909 students.
• Of these students, only one out of every six

students (16.3%) consistently demonstrated all 13 skills and behaviors representing kindergarten readiness.

• 28.2% of students consistently demonstrated 11
• ut of the 13 skills and behaviors.

ADP Strengths & Weaknesses

• Strongest goal: Demonstrates strength and

coordination of large motor muscles

• Weakest goal: Demonstrates phonological

awareness

• The three weakest goals were all in the domain of

Communication, Language, and Literacy.

• The other two weakest goals were
• Demonstrates awareness of print concepts.
• Demonstrates knowledge of letters and symbols

2015-2016 Kindergarten Readiness

16.3% 11.9% 71.8% Students Demonstrating Kindergarten Readiness on all 13 Goals Students Demonstrating Kindergarten Readiness on 11 or 12 Goals Students Demonstrating Kindergarten Readiness on 10 or Fewer Goals

2012 PIS ISA Results

• PISA is administered every three years “to evaluate

education systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students.”

• In 2012, about 510,000 15-year-old students in 65

countries and economies took PISA.

• 2015 results not yet available.
• Reading: U.S. ranked 24th out of 65.
• Similar to United Kingdom and Denmark
• Math: U.S. ranked 36th out of 65.
• Similar to Slovakia and Lithuania

Standards and Assessment

• The Alaska State Board of Education and Early

Development adopted the Alaska English Language Arts and Mathematics Standards in June 2012.

• Alaska school districts first administered an

assessment aligned to these standards in the spring

• f 2015 (Alaska Measures of Progress).

Board & Department Focus

What can we do together?

Aligning for Alaska’s Future

• Align curricula
• Increase and improve Alaska grown teachers
• Strengthen professional development for current teachers
• Phase into requirement that all teachers be “highly qualified,”

i.e., possess a disciplinary undergraduate degree

• Consider state accreditation
• Use BOE/BOR subcommittee to guide and track progress
