Winter Benchmark:

PYP - Completely different platform for this (Mastery Connect) so they are not teacher created any longer. We will compare the results but the data will be off. 

Math - K highest performing, 1st had the most growth, 3rd hitting geometry so that is low. 4th did well in fractions which doesn't always happen 

ELA - impacted by the change in platforms - paragraphs are longer and the questions are harder, lowest performing is K - using guided reading to hone those skills, writing is a weakness so they are working to use the resources to improve not just assess 
Science - 1st has largest growth 5th has the highest scores 8th is the lowest but higher than last year. Cause and effect is a problem; 7th students are weaher than last year 
SS - geography and map skills are still weak; MYP is experiencing the same 

Trends - math is consistently strong;; reading and lit are strong but language and grammar are weak. Science - majority scored at developing; SS - largest growth but growth did occur 

MYP - numbers and fractions are weak; ELA - now using for formative practice; 

Next steps - transdisciplinary skills; tutorial began this semester; remediation and accelerated groups; Data talks coming up for Level II science standards  ; trying to create a culture of getting extra help MYP is considering it 

Math meets 3x per week; tutorials to meet all levels of learning as well - in order to get 2 groups in accelerated math 

PYP IB Evaluation is 2021 - Self Study phase - self assessment and preparation - PD requirements - 5 year cycles for teacher training - Inform school community - IB parent group meets to go over the policy needs- all teachers in groups to review the standards and to rate whether they are being done- monthly meetings to get walk throughs - pull kids to speak and do the same for other schools - 

WIA Policy updates - culture standards for the schools - (academic integrity) 

Policies need to be updated - academic integrity policy - needs to be laid out so that parents see it- basically creating standards across grade levels - a lot is aligned with APS and Casey - gifted training for teachers (cluster and collaborative models); verbage is important when discussing math - constant grouping and regrouping  - use data to adjust schedules - also need more than one (transdisciplinary block)
