RESPONDING TO MID-YEAR DATA – STANDARDS MASTERY

Now is the fun time. Time to…

http://www.picserver.org/t/take-action.html

You will answer the question:

What needs to happen to reach our goals by

the end-of-year?

Your assessment template provides guidance on how to answer this question

To answer this question you will do two

things…

First, you will quantify what it will take to reach your Ambitious Goal

This means identifying the content you still need to teach at what levels of mastery

Identifying what standards you may need to re-teach

And considering which students will need additional support

It’s about quantifying success. Let’s look at an example…

Let’s say you’ve taught 50% of your standards at an average standards

mastery of 60%. What would it take for you and your students to meet

your Ambitious Goal?

Sounds like…

you would need to teach the remaining 50% of your standards at

100% mastery.

Or, more likely…

that you will need to teach the remainder of your standards at 80% mastery, and re-teach and re-assess

your previous standards until students achieve an average mastery of 80%.

Or, even more likely…

you will need to think about this question in a more nuanced way,

considering each student and each standard individually to identify the

most meaningful way for you and your students to meet your goal.

This may look like the following

Let’s be clear…

This isn’t about gaming your way to your goal

This is about identifying what all of your

students need to learn in order to be

successful in the next grade year and beyond

Once you have quantified what it will take to reach your goal, the question becomes what you are going to do about it
