2019 NAEP Results Summary

§ DC Public Schools’ progress on NAEP can be attributed to:

• Social Emotional Learning: School leaders and teachers are focused on students’ academic

and social emotional development.

• Empowering Our People: DCPS offers high-quality teacher professional development

through:

- LEAP: A professional development model that allows teachers to collaborate and

become experts at teaching the DCPS Common Core-aligned curriculum.

- Increased development for teachers on specific strategies to support English learners

in the classroom.

- Creating a culture of strategic data analysis (i.e. weekly data meetings).

• Promoting Equity: DCPS prioritizes supports for students furthest from opportunity through

initiatives to support our young men and women of color and by revising our curriculum to

include more supports for English learners and students with disabilities.

• Ensuring Excellent Schools: DCPS ensures consistent implementation of Common Core-

aligned curriculum, offers Cornerstones, and has increased our investments in opportunities

in the middle grades.

• Engaging Families: DCPS continues to deepen partnerships with families through home visits,

advisory boards, and more to better understand and support our students.

2009 to 2019 NAEP Gains for TUDA JurisdictionsGrade 8 Math

DC Public Schools has made strong progress, but has work to do to serve every student.

§ DCPS has made steady gains in NAEP reading and math performance since 2009, but we have work to do to support every student, especially students furthest from opportunity.

§ DCPS’ five-year strategic plan, A Capital Commitment 2017-2022, focuses on:• Closing the literacy gap by the end of second grade.

• Tripling the percent of at-risk students and students of color who are college and career ready.

• Strengthening instruction for special education students and English learners.

• Supporting programming for students of color through Reign: Empowering Young Women as Leaders and Empowering Males of Color.

§ DCPS will also focus on:• Restructuring Central Office supports to focus resources and capacity on schools that need it

the most to accelerate achievement.

• Improving DCPS’ Response to Intervention (RTI) process so more students have access to interventions that set them up for success.
