• Stratton School
Summary Points
• Areas of Overall Improvement:– Gr. 6 & 8 ELA achievement– Student growth in ELA– Gr. 7 Math– Gr. 5 Science– ELL and Low Income subgroup performance
• Areas in Need of Improvement:– Middle school science– Gr. 4 ELA –Writing: topic development– District Math achievement– Achievement gaps in ELA & Math for students with
disabilities and Math for Black and Hispanic students
Next Steps: ELA
• Increase progress monitoring & readingintervention for all Warning, Needs Improvement,and SLC students in Gr. 3-6
• Expand teaching and assessing Open Responsequestions (Elementary and OMS)
• Begin implementing Lucy Calkins writingprogram in grade 3 to address topic developmentweakness
• Implement Wilson program, Just Words, in grades4-6 to improve spelling and decoding skills
Next Steps: Math
Continue building content expertise fornew teachers, ELL and special educatorsExpand early intervention, AssessingMath Concepts (Number Sense) (KathyRichardson) to grade 2Expand math coaching & tutoring for lowperforming students in Title 1 schools &OMSContinue use of bilingual math glossariesfor ELL students
Next Steps: Science
MS Science is a concern for Arlington as well asother districts across the state.
• Continue to examine curriculum and frameworksalignment in middle school
• Continue MCAS item analysis for development ofremedial support for all students
• Monitor specific students in sub-groups
• Encourage more rigorous course selection forsubgroup students
Next Steps: Subgroups
• Deeper analysis of subgroup achievement data,attendance, and grades
• Continue to expand content expertise of specialeducators at all levels
100 % participation of elementary special educatorsin reading & math mentoring program (5 days)Arrange meeting schedules for special educators to
participate in CLTs
• Expand options for content inclusion at all levels,including Peirce co-taught program
• Ensure all eligible students take the MCASAlternative Assessment
College Readiness for All StudentsRequires…..
• Ongoing collaboration among specialeducators, ELL, METCO, supportpersonnel, administrators, department chairsand classroom teachers to share expertiseand knowledge
