11. Lead Indicators Reading and math scores contain a high degree of variation during the last 2 years Scores are rebounding from a previous year low Focusing on standards have yielded positive results

12. Lessons Learned District did not make AYP in reading last year Grade level data fluctuations need/are being addressed Performance plateaus need/are being addressed Reading skills need to be strengthened at all levels

13. NEXT STEPS And persistence is a challenge for many…

14. ASSESSMENT: FORMATIVE & SUMMATIVE Practices for the Classroom

15. Formative Assessment Assessment for learning Taken at varying intervals throughout a course to provide information and feedback that will help improve - the quality of student learning - the quality of the course itself

16. Summative Assessment Assessment of learning Generally taken by students at the end of a unit or semester to demonstrate the "sum" of what they have or have not learned Summative assessment methods are the most traditional way of evaluating student work

17. GRADING Through discussion and research, the purpose of a grade is to communicate the academic progress of students to the students and their families A grade should reflect what a student knows and is able to do in a course of study

18. NEXT STEPS Read 180 - build reading and comprehension skills Implement RTI in the middle level Implement PLC’s in the high school Use Data and Data Warehousing for Aimes Web, MCA and NWEA
