Last month we discussed adding year over MAP testing comparison being added to dashboard. Can you look into this please?
GOAL TRACKING DISCUSSION (What is the best way to track this throughout the year)
15% in Math is pretty big jump!
Charter Contract Goals (by end of 2019-2020 school year): READING: 50% MATH: 30%
2016-17 Actual READING: 39% MATH: 25%
2017-18 Actual READING: 30% MATH: 19%
2018-19 Actual (spring) READING: 35% MATH: 23%
2019-20 Goal READING: 50.0% MATH: 30.0%
The # of infractions/referrals in comparison from years 18/19 & 19/20 are still way up 1630 Dec 1998/99 compared to 2379 this year. There has to be some intel that we can pull from this to assist us. This was discussed last month as well Culture Committee input, action is needed. Discussion, ideas, plan, next steps???
The items below were discussed last month, is there any feedback, further discussion needed.
Discussion on next steps-
  1. How many students (%’s) that have been with IAF for 3 years are more have what % of referrals/infractions.
  2. What % of infractions/referrals are from students in year 1, 2, and or 3?
  3. Trying to think of ways we can reintroduce newer students to our culture if that indeed is the issue, just a gut feeling.
