School Report - tcdsb.org Report Stella Maris Sep S (859591) Place of Birth Assessments of Reading, Writing and Mathematics, Primary and Junior Divisions, 2006–2007

I am pleased to provide you with this report on the Assessments of Reading, Writing and Mathematics, Primary Division (Grades 1–3) and Junior Division (Grades 4–6) for 2006–2007. Included are student results for the current year, those from previous years and, to put these results in context, information about the student populations.

Throughout the province, EQAO data inform professional practice and act as a catalyst for improving student achievement. This report has been designed to assist you in your conversations about improving student achievement and planning interventions for students.

We believe that every student deserves the best outcome from public education. Working with Ontario educators, EQAO continues to design assessments that are directly linked to The Ontario Curriculum. These assessments provide a means of measuring student learning at a few critical transition points and are a vehicle for assuring people that, at those points, all Ontario students are being assessed by the same yardstick.

However, large-scale assessment results are just one piece of the picture of how students are doing in our schools. These assessment results should be considered in conjunction with school-based information. As well, regular assessments conducted by a student’s teacher should be the primary method of supporting students in their schooling.

I hope this report will help parents, educators and all who support a strong public education system to work together so that all students achieve their fullest potential.

Sincerely,

Marguerite JacksonChief Executive Officer

ABOUT THIS SCHOOL OR BOARD REPORTTIPS

Each school or board is unique. To appreciate the distinctive character of a school or board, look at the contextual information to understand the features and characteristics of the community it serves.

�

Every assessment captures the performance of students at one point in time each year. Consider the results along with other information about students’ achievement in reading, writing and mathematics.

�

Exercise caution when interpreting results for small schools or boards. Results may vary considerably from year to year, and differences may look exaggerated. For example, in a school of 20 students, a difference of 10% represents only two students.

�

Trends may be difficult to identify or to interpret. This is especially true in small schools or boards, or in schools where there is a high turnover in the student population.

�

EQAO values students’ privacy. Results are not reported publicly for schools where fewer than 15 students participated, because it might be possible to identify individual students.

This report shows how well students have met curriculum expectations to the end of the Primary Division and the end of the Junior Division. Students complete a set of test booklets that allow them to show what they have learned in reading, writing and mathematics. The assessments are based on The Ontario Curriculum.

This report includes¨ results for this year

¨ a comparison of results over the past five years to aid in monitoring improvement

¨ information about the characteristics of the students who participated

¨ summary graphs showing the percentage of students achieving the provincial standard in reading, writing and mathematics

¨ detailed tables and graphs showing results for all levels of achievement, results for gender and participation information

¨ student questionnaire results

¨ an explanation of all terms used in this report.

How to use this report

¨ Examine the contextual information to understand the similarities and differences between the school, the board and the province; the board and the province. Consider the challenges that any differences might present.

¨ Examine the results for reading, writing and mathematics.

· Are these results consistent with what you would expect? · How do the school results compare to the board and the province; the board

results compare to the province?· How do these results compare over time?

· What influence might students’ attitudes have on student performance?

¨ Speak to the school principal or the school council chair about the goals for school improvement related to reading, writing and mathematics.

The Education Quality and Accountability Office is an independent agency that gathers information about student achievement through province-wide assessments. Each year, all Grade 3 and Grade 6 students across Ontario take part in these assessments of reading, writing and mathematics. Individual results are reported to students and to parents and guardians. School, board and provincial results are released publicly.
