State Assessment Data ELA and Math Gr. 3-8 2012-13 Common Core - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

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 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 of content Math: h: • Individual items incorporating multiple standards • Vocabulary-rich test questions • Multi-step questions requiring deeper understanding of content

Action Plan: Impl plementi ementing ng th the e Com ommo mon n Core e Sta tandar ndards ds

Steps Already Taken: “Building the Infrastructure”  Unpacking ELA, Math, and Literacy standards K- 12 during SCDs in Spring 2012  Attending BOCES trainings (teachers and admin)  Implementing task forces and summer projects 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: “ B uilding 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 o Universal screening – targeted interventions

Steps Already Taken: “Building the Infrastructure”  Developing common district assessments K-12  Training gr. 1-11 ELA teachers in Great Books o Complex texts, critical thinking, comprehension o Interpretative Questions – Text based responses  Implementing new ELA curriculum 6-12 (SpringBoard)

Steps Already Taken: “Building the Infrastructure”  Revising & implementing new math curriculum 6-8  Training gr. 6-12 teachers in AVID strategies (WICOR) o Onsite PATH trainings for Math, Science, Social Studies, Special Areas o Summer Institutes (teams from EV, HL, HS)

Next Steps ELA  Continue implementing and adapting new/revised ELA curriculum K-12: Readers/Writers Workshop (K-5), SpringBoard (6- 12), Great Books (1-12), S44/Read 180 (6-12) o Balance fiction and non-fiction units o Embed “close reading” and writing to a prompt o Incorporate “text” across all disciplines

Next Steps MATH  Maximize use of Envisions (Year 2) o Learning Walks and Common Core workshops for K-5 principals o Common Core workshops for Instructional Coaches o Common Core mini-workshops at grade-level meetings o Lesson Study sessions for all K-5 teachers o 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) o Onsite PATH trainings o 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
