School Based Support Team ( SBST ) – Meets weekly about individual students and groups of like students strictly about student learning aligned to curriculum standards. This is where integrated service delivery and tiered system of support interventions are put in place and progress monitored to ensure learning success. This group includes those staff members most appropriate for the student(s) being discussed. These groups are assisted and informed by: Building Data Team (BDT) at each building weekly which strictly monitors academic data in ELA and Math as related to the curriculum standards and units as evidenced on the six week interim assessments and MCAS reports. These occur in grades K – 12 with building level trained data coaches and representative staff at each grade levels. Data coaches belong to the BLT at the building level linking this information to the principal who can then communicate findings to the DLT. District Data Team (DDT) – This team monthly and monitors all school related data such as Title 1, ELL, Special Education, DIBELS, Fundations, DRP’s, Wilson, PBIS, schedules, suspension, discipline/behaviour, absenteeism, etc. It is led by the Dir. of CIA and includes members from each BLT along with the Dir.’s of ELL. PPS, Math, and ELA. Final Outcomes - The implementation of this plan will result in the following final outcomes. Additional detailed information can be found in Appendix A. The district will meet its CPI targets for 2013 – 72.9 for ELA (3.3 gain), 64.6 for Math (4.4 gain), and 65.6 for Science (3.8 gain) The median student growth profile for all students will grow to 50 for ELA and 50 for Math The district will meet the CPI targets for High Students for 2013 – 68.8 for ELA (3.8 gain), 60.5 for Math (4.8 gain), and 60.8 for Science (4.5 gain) The median student growth profile for High Students to 50 in ELA and 50 in Math The cohort graduation rate will increase to 73.2 (4.2 increase) for all students and to 70 (5.4 gain) for high needs students The aggregated dropout rate will decrease to 5.0 (.5 decrease) for all students and 2.3 (.1 decrease) for high needs students.
2.1 Use periodic common benchmark assessments aligned to new common core standards for ELA grades K - 12 and Math grades K – 10 and analyse results the district’s data inquiry model to inform interventions and future instruction Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment recommendations from the District Review or other evidence does this initiative address? Common, interim assessments are not administered consistently across schools and grade levels The Galileo assessments have not been implemented well and there is active resistance to their use are not consistent structures and processes at grade, school, and district levels to analyse data and make it actionable to inform decision-making and instructional planning Activities to Achieve the Outcomes for the Initiative Who will Lead? When will it Start? When will it be Complete? Implement common interim assessments aligned to new common core standards for ELA and Math Gr. 2-8 Administer current interim assessments in all Gr.
