C.
Discipline Update
Mr. Pavone, Mr. Finney, Dr. Edwards, and Ms. Hunter provided an overview of discipline data. All were positive about the use of PBIS and restorative practices. A discussion of behavioral plans, in general, was had and staff explained how plans are implemented and the time given to assess the effectiveness of such. The team sees a shift in culture among teachers who now use conflict resolution skills more consistently with students.
Ms. Goodman shared the dashboard developed to track student growth and achievement.
MAP data showed large leaps for 2nd graders in reading and math. Quality instruction and return to in-person learning were identified as important elements in the increase in scores.
Comparative data for Milestones was shared that identified performance above the district in reading at all grades except 6. In mathematics, only one grade outperformed the district. CCRPI data was also shared.
