Report
STEP Data: 50% of K saw a move of 1 STEP level. Scholars are now getting both reading mastery and literacy. Many are on track to still make grade-level by end of year. STEP 3 to 4 K is a hard step to make because it goes from letters and sounds, then to more decoding techniques. K STEP goal has been bumped up to 4 because that is what is needed for their success trajectory.
Question posed whether STEP levels (9) correlates to IRead scores.
Is there a similar system/program for tracking math data? Without co-teachers, it is hard to track math in a meaningful way.
Move back to 5 STEP windows next year so that we have more data points during the year.
