Key Differences
• Schools will only be graded on the
components for which they have 10 students
– Schools that don’t have enough data for one or more
components will still receive a grade
• Learning Gains require students
– scoring below grade level to grow toward grade level
– already at grade level to progress beyond grade level
9
Key Differences
• English Language Arts
– Grades 3-5
– Includes Writing (No stand alone Writing Score)
• ELL students included after 2 years
• No extra weighting or penalties
• School Grade based on the percentage of total
points earned
• Grade 3 ELA Scores: Levels tied back to 2014
• Other FSA Tests: T-scores and Percentile Ranks

Essential Questions
Assessment Data
• Which standards have/have not been instructed?
• How does our overall performance compare to the
District?
• Standards where students perform best?
• Standards where weaknesses are evident?
• How are different groups performing by standard?
• How can we group students by needs?
• Are there specific gaps in skills for a group of students?
13
Essential Questions
Teaching and Learning
• To what extent do teachers understand, teach to, and
assess the standards at a consistent and appropriate
level of rigor?
• Are standards, assessment, and instruction aligned?
• Are specific reading and math interventions
improving literacy skills for selected students?
• What instructional strategies appear to be effective?
• By what criteria are we evaluating student work?
• To what extent do all teachers and students receive
the ongoing assistance they may need?

content areas
•
Use previous anchor charts
•
Students engage in ongoing editing
•
Shared reading: every
day; help students
accumulate strategies
taught across the weeks
•
Students need to be able to
read and respond to grade
level text
•
Students use reading passages to
practice open response –
collaboration between reading and
writing teachers should occur
•
Students continue to
read independent level
books daily (build
stamina and volume)
•
Teachers continue to support
students through small group
instruction
•
Students need long stretches of
writing time to simulate
assessment (build stamina and
volume)
•
Students work in partnerships.
•
Students code text and make
marginal notes

Area of concern
• Only 12 questions scored below 50% and 6 of them were 3rd and 4th grade
“fairgame” benchmark test items.
• All test items scoring below 30% proficiency were “fairgame” benchmarks.
• Lowest scoring test items= 3rd grade Life Science
Recommendations for Instruction
• Implement vertical planning and hold all grade levels accountable
for standards-based science instruction (utilize Learning Village
resources).
• Integrate science into reading and writing while maintaining a daily
block of science instruction for essential hands-on learning.
• Appoint a science contact and/or coach who will attend district
meetings to improve communication and the flow of valuable
science resources to your learning community.
• Take advantage of the science curriculum team’s school-based
customized professional development.
* Learning Village has been updated with new and improved resources that target
student needs (based on teacher feedback and the changing instructional environment).
Please encourage your K-5 teachers to re-visit their grade specific science landing pages
and become familiar with the new resources.
