White Plains Schools State Assessment Data ELA and Math Gr. 3-8 2012-13 Common Core Assessments 2012-2013: In the words of Commissioner of Education John B. King, Jr. more students struggled on this years test than in previous
Common Core Assessments 2012-2013:
In the words of Commissioner of Education John B. King, Jr.
- “…more students struggled on this year’s test than in
previous years…because we changed the expectations for New York State students when we adopted the Common Core State Standards in 2010…”
- “Our test results tell us that we have a long way to go.”
- “The change in test scores does not mean that students
are learning less or that teachers and schools are performing worse than last year. Proficiency rates on the new Common Core assessments cannot be compared with last year’s proficiency results since the old scores are from an old test based on the former standards.”
Changes to the 2012-13 Tests:
EL ELA:
- Increased text complexity
- Balance between fiction and non-fiction
- More reading passages/longer test
- Multi-step questions requiring deeper understanding
- f content
Math: h:
- Individual items incorporating multiple standards
- Vocabulary-rich test questions
- Multi-step questions requiring deeper understanding

to study CCLS and revise curriculum
- Balance fiction and non-fiction units
- Embed “close reading” and writing to a prompt
- Incorporate “text” across all disciplines
Steps Already Taken: “Building the Infrastructure”
- Conducting PTA Workshops
- Forming a year-long committee to study
CCLS and implement new math program K-5 (Envisions)
- Training gr. K-4 teachers on DIBELS
- Universal screening – targeted interventions
Steps Already Taken: “Building the Infrastructure”

- Training gr. 6-12 teachers in AVID strategies (WICOR)
- Onsite PATH trainings for Math, Science, Social Studies,
Special Areas
- Summer Institutes (teams from EV, HL, HS)
Next Steps
ELA
- Continue implementing and adapting
new/revised ELA curriculum K-12:

- Common Core mini-workshops at grade-level meetings
- Lesson Study sessions for all K-5 teachers
- Revised pacing maps & common assessments for math focus
standards
- Continue implementing and adapting new Math
curriculum 6-8
- Develop and implement new Algebra & Geometry
curriculum for middle school and high school
Next Steps
- Conduct grade level/dept meetings to
analyze state assessment data and review released sample test items in grades 3-8
- Administer “mock” State assessments
grades 3-8 in ELA (January) and Math (Feb/March) to target test preparation
Next Steps
- Continue training gr. 6-12 teachers on AVID
strategies (WICOR)
- Onsite PATH trainings
- Turnkey-trainings by AVID site teams
- Use early department meetings and release day
in December to focus on developing/revising CCLS lessons across all disciplines
- Partner with PreK providers to enhance literacy
instruction aligned with common core
