We are currently at 81 students. We need to do some active recruitment in order to meet projected enrollment of 100 students (as per our original application). With increasing numbers of students attending PSEO classes we need to increase enrollment to offset the loss of funds that follows the students to PSEO. Bryan and the staff put together 3 recruitment programs (advertised in the Post Bulletin and Rochester Magazine) that were held at the History Center, the Public Library, and RCTC in order to recruit from more diverse communities. Attendance was minimal, however, and a new recruitment strategy was discussed. This discussion will continue at the next board meeting and an enrollment strategy will be enacted. Academics: We are making AYP. All our seniors have been accepted into college. MCA test results are not yet available for this year. Abdulkadir suggested that we have some incentives in place to motivate our students for MCA testing. Hamud concurred that the parents/families feel that their children could take the MCA’s more seriously. A vital part of strategy 2018 is to continue to prepare our students for PSEO classes so that they have at least one PSEO class under their belts by the time they graduate. Currently 12% of students take PSEO classes. All eligible juniors (B or above average) have arranged accuplacer tests at RCTC. Some of our 10th graders have all of their PSEO paperwork turned in, but the goal is to have 100% of our 10th graders turn in their paperwork. Mohamoud initiated a discussion on what we can do to provide more support for our ELL students. More students are coming from places like Syria and Saudi Arabia and they have limited English skills. Parent involvement: 20 families attended our last parent meeting. This is almost half of our families. Other: The special education audit went very well although we have a few things to work on. The artist in residence, Frank Sentwali, is having a very positive effect on school climate. Poetry students performed at the Rochester World Festival in March. Many also performed at the public library on May 19th and several groups have been invited to perform at the IMAA Walk Around the World event on June 13th. Board Development: MACS training will take place on May 21. Ali will complete his board training with RM&SA (date TBD). We need to recruit some new members. Jill has accepted a teaching position in Iowa and will submit her resignation from the board at the June meeting. The Vision Committee submitted their suggestion for revising the mission statement to read, “A community focused school providing a rigorous STEM education.” No action was taken at this time. Budget: FY 2016 budget proposal was tabled until the June 17th meeting. Comments from Community Members: None. Meeting Adjourned: 6:39 pm Next Meeting: June 17, 2015 at 5:00 pm Respectfully submitted by Jill Leet-Otley, Rochester STEM Academy, board chair and acting secretary

PSEO Report Rochester STEM Academy is on its way to a successful strategy 2018. Strategy 2018 is Rochester STEM Academy’s Strategic Plan to have the entire class of 2018 to graduate with a high school diploma, and AA college degree. To achieve this goal, students are encouraged to sign up for the Post Secondary Enrollment Option to start their college career, while still in high school. Rochester STEM Academy had its first experience with PSEO students during the 2013-2014 school year. During that year there were 2 students who had a successful experience at RCTC. During the 2014-2015 school year Rochester STEM Academy had 7 successful students in PSEO. For the 2015-2016 school year Rochester STEM Academy will look to double that number. Currently we have 24 students signed up (or plan to sign up) for the Accuplacer test. To help keep track of all of this, each eligible student has an online folder. In the folders each student has a checklist with their RCTC Star ID, Stinger ID, and password. The checklist tells the student/school what the students need to do step-by-step. When the student completes any work it is scanned into the online folder, and it is marked off and dated on the checklist. PSEO and ACCUPLACER info 11th Grade

Rochester STEM Academy Student Assessment Summary
Page 1 of 4
This is the first year MDE has mandated the ACT as a graduation requirement for juniors. 16 of 17 students completed the college entrance exam on the assessment or make up date in April. The
following data is derived from the 14 students who completed the test on the assessment date.
The table below compares the College Readiness Benchmarks (CRB) to this year’s juniors, and last year’s scores as reported to MDE.
CRB 2014 2015 Students 16 14 English 18 13.3 12.14 Math 22 17.6 15.6 Reading 22 16 15.35 Science 23 16.6 14.35 Writing 5.64 Composite 21.25 16.1 13.8
Our ACT Composite scores in 2015 range from 11 to 18. The 11 was scored by an ESL student, while the
18 was scored by a full time PSEO student. No subject score in 2014 or 2015 met the CRB. The median and modes of the subsections are clustered around 15, which implies their skill set may be similar.
English Math Reading Science Writing Composite Median 12 15 15 15 6 14.5 Mode 12 15 12,15 15 6 14.15 Score range 1-‐18 1-‐18 1-‐18 1-‐18 2-‐12 1-‐36 Factors affecting the scores:
2014 is from MDE’s data and includes all the scores of Rochester STEM Academy, and may include 10th,
11th, and 12th graders who took the test multiple times. Only students interested in taking the ACT in 2014 are included in the scores. 2015 scores include every junior who was there on test day. Two students took the test on the make-‐up day and are not included in these scores.
Writing is scored on a 12 point scale. Two readers judge the essays and if they are not in agreement, a
3rd reader adjudicates.
Students received only 2 dedicated class periods of test taking skills in preparation for the ACTs.
MCA scores
In March, 11th graders completed the math MCA consisting of 72 questions. Scores ranged from 1109 to 1161. A passing score is 1150. One student’s assessment was not scored by Pearson due to some difficulties on their end.
10th graders completed the reading MCAs. Scores ranged from 1013 to 1058. Passing is 1050. Two
students met the standard by scoring above 1050. Six partially met, and 12 did not meet the standard.

9th graders completed the science portion of the MCAs. The science portion is to be completed after the students have taken biology. At the time of testing students had not yet completed the coursework. Of
the 27 students who attempted the science MCA as ninth graders, 2 partially met the standards, while 25 did not. Scores ranged from 1006 (An ESL student) to 1047.
Factors affecting testing:
Students may have experienced some difficulty logging into tests when Pearson was suffering from cyberattacks. Students complained of the amount of testing in spring semester. Some worked through
sections at a pace commensurate with their abilities, while others seemed to take an inordinate amount of time to read and answer questions. Some students were overheard to say that they were going to take their time testing so they didn’t have to return to classes.
NWEA scores:
This is the first year STEM has asked students to take the NWEA assessments in fall, winter, and spring.
In the winter, we switched from a server based to a web based assessment. The only effect on the students was delay when NWEA was down during winter testing.
Scores were taken from the district summary report, aggregate by school.
9th grade
Fall 2014 Winter 2015 Spring 2015 Reading 207.5 204.8 203 Math 219 224.3 220.6 Language 205.9 205.6 200.4 Science 199 203.4 190.6
To prepare students for the time constraints of the ACT, they were given only 4 hours to complete the
Spring NWEAs. All students were able to complete the reading and math portions, 18 completed language, and 13 completed science.

All seniors who had not passed the GRAD exams were asked to complete the Math portion during spring testing. Five students who had not passed the GRAD or alternative reading assessments were asked to take the reading portion. It should be noted that the median math score was 242. The lower mean was
due to one student who had already passed the GRAD math, but wanted to see what he would score with random answers.
In general, the scores do not reflect the changes in attitude and behavior of the students. In the fall, they didn’t take the assessments seriously, but by spring, they were more engaged. 4th quarter is an
assessment heavy month. All of the above assessments were taken between our return after spring break and the beginning of May.
Several student comments warrant sharing. During the math portion of the NWEAs and MCAs, They said things like “Mr. Imming taught us this.” This confidence carried over into the ACTs. Similar
comments were shared about the writing portion of the ACT. After completing the writing portion, students said they had seen similar prompts in English class.
Throughout the year, student writing is assessed using the Flesch Kincaide.
The 9th grade shows strong growth, from between 8 months to almost 8 years of growth during the year. Final Flesch-‐Kincaid scores were all at or around the desired grade level. This being (in most cases) a huge increase from the first attempted Flesch-‐Kincaid scored writings. Individuals who missed the marks did so due to exceptional circumstances. Having the 9th grade all up to a 10th grade writing level as opposed to the 6th grade average shows tremendous growth. The 10th and 11th grade had less usable data due to missed student work. They showed a tendency for growth (in those who completed both sets of assignments. Many students did not increase their writing levels according to the Flesch-‐Kincaid score. This could be for a couple of reasons. The length of the
Rochester STEM Academy Board Packet
Wednesday, June 17, 2015 Page 45 of 77
Rochester STEM Academy Student Assessment Summary
Page 4 of 4
writing seems to be a great factor in the accuracy of the writings. The 9th graders were writing between 250 and 300 words per tests, while the last test for the 10th graders may have been a reading from a much shorter source. This could account for the lack of evident growth. The 11th grade had issues completing the assignments. The full Flesch-‐Kincaid spreadsheet demonstrates the intermittency of their submitted work. This also reflects in the work ethic of the class in a more general sense. As for the 12th grade the story is about the same. Students who took the assessments seriously showed growth throughout the year, while students who didn’t show improvement likely didn’t even attempt the assignment. Overall, as a tool for developing successful literacy program here at STEM, the Flesch-‐Kincaid tests demonstrates that we are making strides in the correct direction.
SUMMARY:
The assessment tools listed above are used by STEM to determine student strengths and areas for growth. The quality of instructors is reflected in the comments made by students. They need more
training in test taking skills and the use of assessments as tools for preparing for the Accuplacer and ACT. Student testing behavior is improving. With the above scores, goals can be set to improve student
quality.

Our ELL classes started with a “survival English” emphasis. This meaning that students were pulled from (some) regular classes and taught an ELL specific content base for learning to adapt to their new environment. During the second semester students were returned to regular rotations within their core subjects and received help as needs dictated. This showed to be effective as our class was then divided into two distinct sections of ELL students: group 1 which was the newest addition to our school and needed more of the fundamentals, and group 2 which had much better understanding of the basics and were ready to begin growing within the general content. We did see a change in level of performance towards the end of the second semester. During the 3rd quarter we focused on speaking and listening. During this time the lessons were taught directly by one of the teaching staff. 4th quarter moved towards a vocabulary and reading-response based curriculum, which was more indirectly proctored by teaching staff and more heavily founded by paraprofessionals. This had mixed outcomes. 1st and most notably we saw a decline in the words per minute (divided by mistakes) between 3rd and 4th quarter. This would be attributed to the change in focus, from speaking to reading and writing. We might also attribute this to the lack of practice. As the students began to start more reading and understanding based projects they began to rely more heavily on their native tongue. This did help with reading. Within a 4 month period we took 4 students (new to the US and possibly to structured education) and had them reading and responding at a 4th grade level. The other half of the class, given they had more education (informal and outside of the US) continued to prosper and were working within Flesch-Kincaid tested texts at the 6th grade level. Their responses began to catch their reading abilities (10-15 sentences for complex answer questions (4th grade level)) Overall, we discovered that the lack of direct teaching hindered their ability to read out loud as fluently as necessary, but the focus on vocabulary and reading helped them to close the gap between their age appropriate educational level and their current educational standing. Our remedy for this inconsistency will be to focus more on speaking and reading out loud in conjunction with the vocabulary based lesson plans that helped to get them to the level they are at now. We also need to help change the culture of the school. By this I mean that we should encourage other students to help make this a true immersion program by assisting these students in English rather than their native tongue.

SECTION IV
A. With the exception of claims arising under Section IV D of this Agreement, any controversy
or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, at the insistence of
either party, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Associa-

ESTER STEM . ROCHESTER STEM agrees that in the event that it breaches this Section
IV D, DL shall be entitled to injunctive relief restraining ROCHESTER STEM from employ-
ing or contracting with the individual or any business employing or contracting with the indi-
vidual. ROCHESTER STEM further agrees that DL shall be entitled to recover damages
suffered as a result of any breach of this Section IV D, together with DL’s reasonable attor-
neys’ fees and litigation costs.
E. In the event that a Court determines that any portion of Section IV D is not enforceable, the
legality of the remaining portions shall not in any way be affected, and the Court shall en-
force Section IV D to the extent that it is reasonable if it determines that any portion is inva-
lid or unenforceable as drafted.
