Disaggregated Data to Present to BOT in March 2025

  • OpenArchitect is currently not able to disaggregate DIBELs data. Working with them to fix.
  • Data at a Glance:
    • STAR Math
      • Can see that in most grade meeting and exceeding has improved.
        • 8th grade there has been a bit of backsliding.
      • Disaggregated Data:
        • Black and White students achieving at a relatively similar spot
        • Hispanic and Multiracial are slightly lower
          • What is relationship between MLL status and reading status
            • Unanswerable at this point, will be able to say more when we can disaggregate DIBELs data
        • Gender: Started out equal and there is a growing gap in grade level math performance
          • last year female students got worse over the course of the year, indicates a systemic problem
        • Multilingual status: It looks like they are doing much better than non-ML students
          • Are we actually identifying and supporting all the MLs through our current methods
        • Low-income: They are a little bit lower but they are pretty close.
  • DIBELS Reading
    • Beginning of year
      • Why are such a large percentage 1st graders so far behind?
        • Anecdotally: As much as 3/4 incoming kindergarteners are coming in not knowing their letters. They're at home or in a daycare setting rather than formal pre-k.
      • What can we do to provide intervention as soon as we know that they're enrolling in Kindergarten?
        • Start screening again to prepare appropriately
        • Moonshot: authentic age 3-5 primary class rather than just kindergarten
    • Midyear: Significant gains in the % of students reading at grade level
      • This year's mid-year data is a higher average composite score than last year, so that shows growth

Questions for future:

 

  • Does it makes to use these kind of metrics make sense to attach to ED performance evals?
    • yes

Action Items:

 

  • When we have a complete presentation , Hannah will send to Jeff. Jeff sends to Board and to Kim for March Meeting packet
