Measuring Student Progress in Reading and Mathematics K-8

Transcription

1 Measuring Student Progress in Reading and Mathematics K-8 Presentation to the Board of Education, September 2014 Todd Winch, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum & Instruction

2 Overview of Student Performance in Reading and Mathematics K-8 NWEA data continues to show below average scores in reading in most grades K-8 Although concerns over validity exist, NYS ELA test scores show the same below average scores Our lower NWEA reading data is supported by our lower high school SAT reading scores Our NWEA Mathematics scores are higher, which support our higher NYS Mathematics test scores which in turn support our higher SAT Mathematics scores

3 Analysis: As shown by NWEA growth data, students continue to struggle greatest in reading across the district Overall, students perform better in mathematics Projected performance: NYS performance is, on average 5-15 percentage points higher than NWEA projections.

4 Percent Passing 100% 90% ELA Passing Rates 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Plainedge 50% 42% 40% 28% 31% 45% Nassau County 44% 42% 40% 40% 38% 47%

6 Passing Percent Change in ELA Passing Rates 12/13 Compared to 13/ Passing Passing

7 Passing Percent Change in Math Passing Rates 12/13 Compared to 13/ Passing Passing

8 District Action Plan Reading & Writing: NYSED ELA Consultant working with the Middle School teachers once per quarter this year Continued use and revision of pacing guides in elementary classes to support Journeys programs Elementary PLCs to focus on reading and writing throughout the year Common Core ELA curriculum writing is ongoing in grades 6-8 Infusion of NYS Module components continues in select elementary grades to supplement Journeys 5 Project Based Learning pilot at John H West Elementary School

9 District Action Plan Reading & Writing: Expanded use of espark support in grade 4 for ELA Afterschool ELA support in grades 3-5 Potential for additional support program for students in grade 7 Teacher committee review of grades 3-8 NYS assessments, specifically the 50 released questions from NYSED and Constructed Response questions Monthly administrative review of reading and writing program K-8 Review/modification of Excelsior period in 6- primary focus will be reading and writing

10 District Action Plan Mathematics: Continued use and revision of pacing guides in elementary classes to support GoMath programs Use of GoMath in grade 6 Common Core mathematics curriculum writing is ongoing in grades 6-11 Expanded use of espark support in grade 4 Afterschool mathematics support in grades 3-5 Committee review of grades 3-8 NYS mathematics assessments

11 How Will We Measure Our Success? Instruments: NYS ELA & NWEA Targets: Increase in NWEA Growth Percentile Increase in NWEA Projected Performance Increase in average score on constructed response portion of NYS ELA assessment in grade six and seven. Increase in NYS ELA performance relative to Nassau County average. Timeframe: Spring/Summer 2015
