2009-05-15 STEM Ed in CPS to IMSA - draft 2

1. May 15, 2009

4. ISAT composite scores have increased steadily since 2001

5. ISAT composite scores show CPS is closing the gap with the state…

6. … yet achievement gaps by race and gender persist.

7. High school PSAE scores are largely flat…

8. … and the percent of students scoring 20+ on ACT is essentially flat as well

9. Progress has been in moving students from the bottom quartiles to the middle *Different norms (ITBS88 to ITBS01) **Different test (from ISAT to SAT 10) Percent of schools with 50% or more of students at or above 50 th percentile 1990 1995 2001 2005* 2008** 8% 12% 21% or 24% 31% 72%

11. High Quality Materials Research and Evaluation Timely Assessment Data In-School Supports Teacher Capacity Instructional Excellence Research and Evaluation Research and Evaluation

13. Lesson Quality is Associated with Adherence to District-Designated Materials Adherence 39 Iris Weiss

14. At the K-5 level, schools using district instructional materials show significant, medium to high effect size gains.

16. Is the strategy robust? Red : no strategy, inadequate strategy Yellow : pilot, experimental, hard-to-scale, incomplete, little evaluation data Green : robust, evaluation data support

17. Mathematics K-12 Strategy Alignment Red : no strategy, inadequate strategy Yellow : pilot, experimental, hard-to-scale, incomplete, little evaluation data Green : robust, evaluation data support

18. Science K-12 Strategy Alignment Red : no strategy, inadequate strategy Yellow : pilot, experimental, hard-to-scale, incomplete, little evaluation data Green : robust, evaluation data support

20. “ Despite forceful calls from business leaders and policymakers to upgrade math and science education, most superintendents (59%) and principals (66%) say this is not a serious problem in their local schools.”
