Positive Conclusions What is going “right” in the Primary School: Kindergarten is up in ALL academic areas!!! 1st Grade is up in ALL academic areas!!! 2nd Grade is up in Math, Science, & Social Studies 3rd Grade is up in Reading, Math, Science, & Social Studies
Positive Conclusions What is going “right” in the Middle School: When Looking at CTBS Student Categories, our “High”, “Middle”, & “Low” Achieving Students are at or above National Average in Most Areas Gains in Spelling & Language Composite Although scores dropped from the previous year, the “Overall Score” is still higher than the score from CTBS 2003
Constructive Conclusions What needs attention in the Primary School: 2nd & 3rd Grade Scores reflect a drop in Language Arts & Word Analysis * Effectiveness of Shurley English Method? Need for a Continuous, Aligned Curriculum * At present teachers are using different instructional series at different levels which makes the curriculum a bit disjointed
Constructive Conclusions What needs attention in the Middle School: 6th Grade Scores Reflect a Significant Drop in Reading and Math * Division of accountability for math? Strengthening the APPLICATION aspect of reading and writing? Need for a Continuous, Aligned Curriculum * Curriculum alignment needed in certain areas because of changes in Core Content. Even in aligned areas, assessment techniques and instruction need evaluation to identify areas of strength & deficiency.
General Plans for Addressing Needs * Increased Practice of Open-Response Writing * Utilize P.D. & Growth Days to Analyze & Design a More Rigorous, Aligned Curriculum * Curriculum Committee / Department Meetings * Re-Structured Scheduling at the Middle School * Implementation of Core Day Wednesdays * Daytime ESS for both W.P.S. & R.G.E.
