  2. Overview of Presentation • Overview • Binder Organization • Types of Reports • How to Read Reports • Data Highlights • Strengths • Focus Areas • What has contributed to our success? • Action Plan 2013-15

  3. CMT State-Wide Results • Student performance data on the CMT show decreases in all grades and content areas as compared to last year.

  4. 2012-13 CMT State Performance

  5. 2012-13 CMT State Performance *Excerpt from 2013 CAPT Results Show Increases and CMT Results Show Decreases

  6. CAPT State-Wide Results • The state-wide results of the 2013 CAPT were generally positive. Performance increased slightly in mathematics, science and reading, but decreased slightly in writing.

  7. 2011-2013 CAPT State Performance *Excerpt from 2013 CAPT Results Show Increases and CMT Results Show Decreases

  8. CSDE School Performance Index • CSDE has not released SPI (School Performance Index). • Expected to release scores late October/November. • CSDE recalculating the 3 year baseline SPI based on audit.

  9. SMARTER Balanced Assessment (SBAC) • Highly likely that Wethersfield will only administer Science CMT/CAPT (grades 5, 8, & 10) and SBAC (grades 3-8 and 11) this spring. • District has already shifted instructional focus away from CMT/CAPT towards the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and SMARTER Balanced (SBAC) Assessment to prepare for this new national assessment.

  10. 45 States Adopted CCSS (as of December 2011)

  11. SBAC Member States

  12. CMT & CAPT Scoring and Performance Levels Five levels • Level 5- Advanced • Level 4- Goal (State Goal) • Level 3- Proficient • Level 2- Basic • Level 1- Below Basic • Our goal is to significantly decrease the % of students at basic and below basic • And significantly increase the % of students at or above goal % Students at Goal or above

  13. Binder Walk • Overview • Executive Summary • CSDE Press Release regarding CMT and CAPT • ESEA Waiver Amendment • DRG Rankings

  14. Binder Walk • High School Standardized Scores • CAPT • AP (Advanced Placement) • ACT • SAT • ECE (Early College Experience)

  18. Binder Walk • Vertical Scales • Math • Reading • District Assessments • District Assessment Calendar 2012-13 • Benchmarks for Math and Language Arts 2012-13 • Grades K-9

  19. WHS CAPT Strengths • Increase in writing at/above goal (2.8%) • Increase in math at/above goal (2.7%) • Statistically same range in reading • Historically we see trends that girls outperform boys in reading and writing. Whereas, the males are continuing to outperform the females in math and science. However, with this traditional gender gap we are starting to see a closer grouping of the data in writing. • Overall, increase in ACT and SAT scores • Have decreased number of AP exams, but this is due to the increased number of students taking ECE in place of the AP exam.

  20. WHS CAPTFocus Areas • Science declined in % at goal (6.3%), but consistent at/above % proficiency • Sub-groups (ELL, Free/Reduced, Special Education) continue to underperform their peers. However, you will see in the subgroup graphs that there have been some improvements. These subgroups are also generally outperforming the state subgroup average.

  21. WHS CAPTWhat has contributed to our success? • Game Film (Zmuda Cohort) has grown from 12 teachers to the entire school in 2013-14. • Revised Algebra curriculum to align with CCSS • Algebra 1 support class and new math sequence including Algebra for all students in grades 8 or 9 • Increase in AP and ECE enrollment • Addition of a K-12 Instructional Supervisor for Literacy • Start focus on CCSS in English, Social Studies and Math

  22. WHSAction Plan 2013-15 • Add Academic Leaders & K-12 Instructional Supervisors for Math and Science • Continue CCSS work in Math, English, and Social Studies • Implement CCSS Geometry and Integrated Math • Introduce CCSS to all teachers for integration of skills • Data Teams to analyze student learning and improve instructional strategies • Game Film (Zmuda Cohort) will involve the entire high school 2013-14 • Continue to grow ECE/AP enrollment • Focus on sub-groups such as ELL, Special Education, Free/Reduced, etc. • Implement Advisor/Advisee • Continue curriculum writing
