Mid-Year STEP Data Discussion
Closing out phase 1: Walking teachers through how to deconstruct standards, stamp key points, and build direct instruction. We see growth based on observations and feedback. Metrics were reviewed: Reviewing standards, key points, content basesd strategies displayed, students naming the objective.
STEP data
46% are on or above level in STEP
K: 69% made step progress
1st 67% made step progress
2nd 52% made step progress
3rd: 60% made step progress
The goal was 1 step level growth.
Largest % increase in those now on or above grade level is K with a 35.1% increase.
A comparison was made between last school year and this school year. Schoolwide there was a 13.3% increase in those at or above grade level this time last year.
Feedback is that students are on a good growth trajectory. Focus on exit tickets will help to build on this growth.
Next steps:
- Intervention aides will pull targeted small groups that consist of scholars 2+ step levels below target.
- Teachers will engage and calibrate in whole school intervention strategies for the top 2 components with the highest need; Reading Accuracy & Segmentation. Science of Reading will continue to be a focus of PD.
- Correlate Step growth with MAP growth in the next 2 weeks
