  23. Raise the BarEnsure path toward graduating college and career ready • Aligned Level 3 bar with • satisfactory performance, • graduation requirement, and • college readiness • More consistent expectations across grades • < % students proficient, except grade 9 and 10 reading • < % meeting graduation standard decreased

  24. Raise the BarEnsure path toward graduating college and career ready • Impact on SDPBC • 5700+ non proficient in reading • 9000+ non proficient in math • 1000+ not meet grade 10 graduation requirement

  25. Next Steps • Ensure staff knows NGSSS benchmarks and FCAT 2.0 item specifications • Monitor student performance • Ensure instruction focuses on the NGSSS benchmarks and FCAT 2.0 item specifications • Adjust instruction based on student knowledge of NGSSS benchmarks
