Consider the EQAO data from Spring, What is the relationship between the June report card data and the EQAO data for those students. On the basis of this comparison, at what level are these students currently achieving? EQAO Considerations

1.What data catches your eye? 2.Is there anything in the data that you do not understand? 3.If so, what would you like clarified? 4.Is there anything about the data that you find surprising? 5.What patterns of strengths and needs are evident? 6.What concerns you most about the data? 7.As a result of your examination of the data, at what level is each student currently functioning? 8.What target will you set for each student between now and March? 9.Enter each student on the following VENN for the class Step 3 Analyze the Data

CURRENT Level of Student Achievement at the Classroom Level ALL students in the school are included Teachers will enter each student in the Venn For combined grades, the names of students in the top grade are placed at the top of the Venn and the bottom grade at the bottom of the Venn (i.e. in a 1/2 combined class, the 1’s are at the top and the 2’s are at the bottom) NOTE: For exceptional students, each student’s achievement is in relation to the grade appropriate subject expectations with or without accommodations as reflected in the IEP. Place each student on the Venn circle relative to the achievement of grade appropriate levels not those that have been modified as set out in the IEP. Students with Alternative Expectations are placed to the left of the level 1 Venn circle Level 1Level 2 Level 3Level 4 Students at High Level 1, Low Level 2 Students at High Level 2, Low Level 3 Students at High Level 3, Low Level 4 Alternate Expectations

The number of students who will move is the target for the grade. Calculate the new number of students at each level of achievement. This is the number that is inserted into the template at the end of the PowerPoint.

Step 4 Using the Venn Diagram List the Students on the Venn Diagram template List the specific strategies for improvement on the template Based on the students identified, this is your target for improvement

Monitoring these students using the reports 1.Enter the students into the at-risk group in Trillium 2.These are the students that will be monitored regularly using the ‘At-Risk’ flag in the reports 3.Repeat this process for the next reporting period Link to access the instructions to enter At-Risk Students in Trillium =108 Step 5 Track These Students

Reflect on the classroom strategies previously used to support the at-risk students. Which ones do we think had the most impact? Which strategies were tried but did not appear to move the students? Step 6 What strategies worked?
