ELA

2019 was the last full testing

2021 results were inflated due to covid

2022 is a blind new testing

2022 improved from 2019 by 17%

As students are with us longer, we see greater performance - growth in the middle grades - need to dive in on 5th grade instructions - seeing progress in ELA

Math

Less growth than ELA, but seeing proficiencies - conceptual math in 5th, 6th, and 8th grades are really helping 

8th grade data: those who just joined us the year of, only 2/8 passed regents, whereas those who have been with us longer, 65% passed regents

Will use test assessment to develop professional development.

Marketing use of data improvements (to obtain younger scholars).

PDI update: shifting gear and achieving excellence 

Breakout sessions are helping teachers dive deeper.

Intellectual Excellence: interdisciplinary courses - transferable skills w/ reading and writing - strong literacy background to apply through all 

After school support program: any scholar w/ 69% or below and ILPs are mandated to attend

Drive towards 90% of all scholars are passing WEEKLY, and those who are failing will need to attend extra help.

All juniors are talking AP Lang - pacing is something we need to work on.

Intellectual prep component and coaching weekly to provide 

Progressive pedagogy - how to transform class

Strong Culture of Data: school wide goals of data driven - mandate to use Powerschool and Illuminate - set accountability 

Growing the Whole Child - Advisory PDs is really useful - academic, emotional, college

Weekly updates w/ families 

Establishing a financial literacy program

CPA goals: instructional, cultural, collegial 

Ellen: work closely with Kurt and Anthony on additional programs and tools to help them reach their goals -> work with Finance committee to prioritize spending -> raise funding to ensure support as we expand

Constance: where we can be supportive and tech piece. Connect with city counsel and Aluta

Anthony: interviewing and hoping to bring on quality teachers - needed to move a few teachers around to fill the gaps - use new hire as co-teachers (teacher collaboration) - new potential afterschool teacher (great test taker)

Jessi: curriculum content (a newer view, instead of the traditional curriculum) - Anthony: anti-racism, ethics and morality, and financial literacy courses - Kurt: on lighter data months, invite people to speak to it
Sophia: see how we as committee and board can help support transferable skills in class and world, better understand the issues in the community and to better the school - concept of bringing in environmental justice
