As part of MSA-1’s monitoring program, the CELDT examination is administered annually to students who are identified as English Language Learners. MSA-1 monitors students’ CELDT, State Assessment, and MAP results along with teacher recommendations to monitor student progress towards successful reclassification. MSA strives to reclassify EL students expeditiously but appropriately, and has established a school-wide literacy enrichment program to support the use of academic vocabulary across content areas for all students.

Our CoolSIS system is accessible to school staff, students, and parents, and is updated daily. During summer professional development training, the entire school staff reviews student achievement data, including state assessment data, CELDT, benchmark assessments, and other diagnostic assessments. The staff disaggregates data by sub-group, grade level, and subject. The goal is to provide all stakeholders with the information needed to guide instruction, professional development training, and academic supports for students in the upcoming school year. In addition, MSA-1 reviews all data to assess if the school has met the annual measurable objectives and sets goals for raising student achievement along with developing an academic plan in order to reach those goals.
