What does the data tell us?-IN GENERAL • We need to be cautious about over-analyzing any single assessment result during any single year • We should be comparing ourselves to the top performing schools in the country-private and public • We have opportunities for growth in everything from ACT to AP to CSAP • IMAP looks at individual students, Data warehousing allows us to look at trends and systemic opportunities • Are our interventions having a meaningful impact on all of the students in our school
What does all this data tell us?-MATH • Math-the analysis of our longitudinal math scores indicates a need to re-evaluate our current K-12 math curriculum using the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Math) standards as a benchmark • Review current best practice methodologies for instruction to insure that all teachers are up to date with content and instructional strategies using contemporary tools
What does the data tell us?-SCIENCE • Are we providing a rigorous curriculum K-12 in the areas of science • Explore the current scope and sequence • Work with local groups to enrich our high school science learning experiences • Seek ways to further incorporate problem-based/project-based learning utilizing the natural resources in the San Miguel Watershed
What does the data tell us?-WRITING • More detailed analysis of subareas in writing should be explored • It is too early to tell if the Daily 5 has had a long-term sustainable impact on student writers. • What types of writing are most important as a future life-skill. • What best instructional methods should be used in each classroom/grade level (consistent scope and sequence)
We have much to celebrate! • Telluride strength is in more than just test scores • We perform above the state average in generally every area • We perform above national averages in many areas • Our student population is our greatest resource • Our teachers are reaching for new heights and challenging themselves to be better today than yesterday • Our parents and community have demonstrated their support of education and the Telluride School District
