Rochester Area Math Science Partnership Our Mission: To support high student achievement through world class standards in math and science. 2011 Continuous Improvement Report for the Pine Island School District
Math/Science Goals 2010-2011 Pine Island School District Goals • 1. High Student Achievement • Test scores • Aligned curriculum • Staff development • 2. Create and Maintain a Collaborative Work Environment • Community • Interpersonal communication with district • Parents/Students • Teams and individuals (mentoring)
Math/Science Goals • 3. Effective and Efficient Operation • Financial management • Building/Transportation maintenance • Staffing levels – Staffing to Workload High Student Achievement Data • MCA • AimsWeb • ACT • NWEA
MCA Baseline and Trend Data “Confront the Brutal Facts”—Jim Collins
Analysis of Current Situation 1) Test scores—are we “data rich” 2) Aligned curriculum? 3) Staff development? • Adopt “Stretch Goals” to support the District Goals (a goal funnel) • To place among the top six RAMSP schools for math, reading, and science in all tested grades 3-12 (the analogy to True Team Track—not first and last but sustained high consistency)

Lessons Learned We are searching for our data to provide evidence to better support the concept that what we are providing for students in Pine Island is a quality education. Putting our data to better use in developing formative (common or mutual) assessments within our district or using friends and partners in the RAMSP or HVL organizations. With a stronger focus on data, improving alignment of standards to curriculum, two established comparison groups, and an improved focus on student achievement for Staff Development we are excited to see where the Continuous Improvement Process can take us in 2011-12.
Next Steps • Attempt to develop better K-8 schedule to honor common planning time • Attempt to improve alignment of SD requests to better support the concept of increasing Student Achievement • We have contacted SSC to organize “AYP” summer and/or workshop training on three things: alignment, alignment, alignment. • Alignment of curriculum to standards, alignment of assessment to curriculum, and the development of formative assessments to support and monitor the progress of instruction towards summative assessments like the MCAs .
