MCAS Analysis Educational Growth
This document discusses measuring student growth on MCAS tests in 3 districts. It defines growth as measuring individual student improvement over time compared to academic peers. Growth is important to evaluate curriculum, target assistance and make accountability decisions. The document introduces Student Growth Percentiles (SGP) which express a student's growth as a percentile based on their improvement relative to similar students. SGPs between 40-60 are typical, with higher or lower scores indicating exceptional growth. The document provides examples of how SGPs, fan charts and scatter plots can be used to analyze growth at the student, grade and school levels to inform instructional improvements.
Valueadded
The document discusses value-added assessment and research conducted by Dr. William Sanders. It explains that value-added assessment examines longitudinal academic growth for each individual student over time to measure teacher and school effectiveness, while controlling for external factors. The research found significant variability in teacher effectiveness and showed how value-added data can identify strengths and weaknesses for each student.
Senior comparison
The document is a senior exit survey comparing responses from Wunsche High School to the overall school district. It shows that for most questions, a higher percentage of Wunsche students responded positively. For example, 93.56% of Wunsche students would recommend their high school compared to 45.93% in the district overall. The survey addressed whether the school encouraged continued learning, prepared students for college or careers, teachers had high expectations, and whether students felt responsible for their own learning.
Discussing data
The document discusses strategies that a school is implementing to improve 6th grade reading scores on standardized tests. It notes that reading scores fluctuated from 2007-2010 but jumped significantly in 2011 for both the school and district. To further increase scores, the school will implement a "One Book, One School" program, require close reading exercises in all classes, and develop a literacy calendar to promote reading strategies across subjects. Input from parents and families is sought to support these upcoming changes.
The Value Of Value Added Methodology
Value added methodology measures student growth and can provide useful information to educators. It analyzes learning trajectories to target interventions and assess placement fairness. This helps meet all student needs. While standardized tests cause "shed patterns" of disproportionate gains, the goal is equal growth for all. Teacher effectiveness strongly influences academic growth. Principals should use value added data to match teachers' strengths to student needs, leading to improved schools.
2015 nov assessment without levels, 2014 national curriculum
The document discusses St. Paulinus Catholic Primary School's new assessment system without using levels. It explains that levels were removed by the government and schools now assess each student's mastery of specific skills. St. Paulinus tracks each student's progress in reading, writing, and math through ongoing assessments. Teachers analyze data to ensure all students are appropriately challenged and making progress. The new system personalizes assessment to each individual student.
Smartgoalsfor plcs
The document discusses setting SMART goals for professional learning communities (PLCs) to positively impact student outcomes. It defines SMART goals as being strategic, measurable, attainable, results-oriented, and time-bound. Examples of SMART goals are provided related to increasing the percentage of students proficient in algebraic relationships and increasing the percentage of 7th grade students scoring proficient or higher on a reading standard. The document emphasizes that well-defined, measurable goals can help PLCs continuously improve and focus their work.
Using data to improve outcomes for vulnerable groups in the Early Years
This document summarizes Liz Laws' presentation on using Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) data to improve outcomes for vulnerable groups. The presentation aimed to show how to use EYFS data to measure all children's progress, focus on attainment and progress of vulnerable groups, and inform planning, teaching, learning and interventions. Key points included identifying gaps in literacy and math between boys/girls, summer/non-summer born, and pupil premium/non-pupil premium children; ensuring accurate assessments; analyzing data to identify gaps and tailor teaching; and seeing improved progress and outcomes as a result, particularly for vulnerable groups. Next steps discussed continuing these strategies and embedding a data lead role.

Action research project
The document summarizes surveys conducted in 2006 and 2011 at a school to assess communication between students, staff, administration, and parents. The surveys found that while staff felt there was open communication among themselves and with parents, support staff did not feel free to express opinions and communication between staff and administration needed improvement.

Wunsche data
The document summarizes the results of a senior exit survey given to the Class of 2013 at Carl Wunsche Sr. High School. Most students reported that their teachers had high expectations of them and motivated them to work up to their potential. Additionally, over half felt the school provided an excellent or good foundation in technology and that teaching quality was excellent or good. While extracurricular programs were rated average by most, the majority felt well prepared for the transition to life after high school.
ARC Smart Yearly Assessment- 2012-2013
The ARC Smart Program had an effective impact in the 2012-2013 school year, serving over 120 students in its five-week module program and almost 700 in single sessions within the Los Angeles Unified School District. On average, students improved test scores by 72% and the program received positive feedback from teachers, administrators, and a request to continue next year from each school. Key results showed males improved at a higher rate than females but female scores were still higher overall.
Improving Academic Achievement
The document outlines the agenda and discussion topics for a vertical team meeting focused on improving academic achievement at Southeast Elementary School. The team reviewed survey results showing areas of growth and success, discussed developing a new Continuous School Improvement Plan and Building School Improvement Plan aligned with the district's new strategic plan, and brainstormed ideas for honoring student academic achievement. They also provided updates on available funds and leave days and solicited feedback on math instruction and the virtual meeting format before concluding.
Teacher survey results
This survey of teachers at Cooper MS in McLean, VA asked about collaboration practices. The results showed that most teachers meet monthly as departments/teams. Over half received training in collaboration/co-teaching. Most teachers currently collaborate and share data with departments. Time, common planning periods, and willingness to work together help collaboration while demands and meetings hinder it. Most teachers believe collaboration positively impacts student achievement through more ideas, viewpoints, and adapting to student needs. Most also felt creating a collaborative culture would establish innovative teaching methods.
