Looking at Data 2004-2011:
LEP: 2003-04: 7% 2010-2011: 22%
Intervention Decisions Based on Data and Discussion
Math P & A % Data shows:
2004 White Hispanic SWD LEP Econ
76.5% 83% 40% 42% 38% 44%
What trends did we identify and Foresee?
❖“Basic Math” classes had flat growth levels
❖Highest achieving students had minimal growth
❖Huge Achievement Gap in Sub Categories❖Demographics were going to change
radically in the next five to seven years with 3-5x growth in Hispanic and ESL
What changes did we make because of the data trends we found?
Trend Data Change
Basic Math was set up to teach kids at their level
Flat Growth Double Dip Kids – Math lab to Foundational Math
Advanced Kids were getting Straight A’s, but showed minimal growth or decline
Bouncing off the ceiling Advanced math classes in a leveled program
Huge Achievement Gap 40 Point Difference in sub groups
Needed a true reading program: Read 180
Testing was not part of our Culture
Huge Gap, no accountability Mileposts – teacher Goals, Spring to Spring growth results, and PLC’s
Kids not prepared Low Scores and decline Incentives, recognition, and training – Show them the data too and their ranking!
