Academic/Cognitive (January 7)<br />

1. What does the data tell us?<br />

In science, we are above our goal in grade 10 and 11, but below our goal in grade 9. Students in grade 9 really struggled with Frictional Forces<br />

and Momentum.<br />

In math, we are above our goal in grades 9 and 11, but below our goal in grade 10. Students struggle with the pace of Geometry being two<br />

trimesters.<br />

English 1 and English 3 scores decreased from Unit 1 to Unit 2, while English 2 and 4 scores increased from Unit 1 to Unit 2.<br />

In World Civilization and US History, the number of students scoring proficient/distinguished increased on 2 nd six weeks proficiency exam.<br />

2. What does the data not tell us?<br />

The data does not tell us if these percentages are before interventions or after interventions (regrouping, intervention period, after school<br />

interventions)<br />

In English, the data does not tell us which skills students struggled with or which skills are repeated from Unit 1 to Unit 2.<br />

3. What are the causes for celebration?<br />

In science, 72% of students in grade 10 scored proficient/distinguished on the first proficiency exam.<br />

English 2 has met goals for both Units. English 3 met goals for Unit 1.<br />

In World Civilization and US History, percentage of students scoring proficient/distinguished is above the goal for the 2 nd six weeks.<br />

4. What are the Opportunities for Improvement?<br />

In all content areas, we need to improve reading comprehension. Students are struggling with lengthy multiple choice questions and constructed<br />

response questions.<br />

English 1, 3, and 4 need to increase to meet goals.<br />

5. What are our next steps?<br />

In science, students in grade 11 will take a timed practice EOC exam every Tuesday. These practice exams will be scored in class and students<br />

will be tracked on their performance to measure growth. All students who are taking science will be given weekly common formative assessments<br />

(CFAs). The results from these CFAs will be tracked and will determine which students will be referred for intervention (either after-school (HIP)<br />

or in-school (intervention period)).<br />

In Algebra 2, Practice EOC exams will be given to track growth leading up to the EOC exam. Live Scoring was used last year for students to see<br />

their mistakes using error analysis to further their understanding. Students are also given weekly common formative assessments (CFAs) using<br />
