Our percentages indicate that many students are earning a 2 or below on open response questions. All Dedham Middle School students need to score 12 or more out of 16 points for the four open response questions.

    33. English Language Arts Targets and Supports How will this be achieved? Writing with Colors - focused writing program Common open-response formative assessments Frequent low-stakes writing across the curriculum Greater focus on scaffolding and tracking open-response skills acquisition for student subgroups

    34. Math Targets and Supports A new diagnostic program, Acuity ®, for Mathematics has been purchased for the middle school. Teachers in grades 6, 7 & 8 will administer periodic diagnostic tests through the use of Acuity ® . The program will yield data which will allow us to target the specific standards in which a student needs improvement.

    35. Use of low-stakes writing assignments Increased practice on open response questions with the goal of implementing a secondary version of Writing With Colors called “Light up the Problem” Strict focus on targeted subgroupings – specifically ELL and Special Education Math Targets and Supports

    36. Continued analysis of spiraled curriculum in the middle school. Increased time for professional development to allow for teachers in grades 6, 7 & 8 to analyze the test items. Regular use of low-stakes writing assignments and open response assessments. Science Targets and Supports
