Minutes

• Discuss School Improvement Plan
  • Goal for SIP
    • Goal 1: 83% of our students will master essential learning as measured by team developed common formative assessments for each content area. 
    • Goal 2: 24-25 Spring Math Inventory – the percent of students at or above benchmark will improve by 5% compared to Fall math Inventory.
    • Goal 3: 24-25 Spring Reading Inventory – the percent of students at or above benchmark will increase by 5% as compared to fall reading inventory
• Reading Data and Testing
  • The data is more about reading comprehension.  449 were on or above grade level. 62 were below grade level. 415 were far below grade level.
  • The question was brought up regarding how the elementaries and middle school aligns with testing.
    • This test data we’re looking at is more about comprehension rather than fluency which results in a bit of a disconnect. 
  • Amplify is aligned with what is being done at the elementary schools so our goal is to apply this curriculum. The goal is to also align horizontally within the school.
  • Four our goal, have it be 5% improve from below or far below grade level to on grade level rather than including those who didn’t take it who have now taken it.
  • Benefits of pivoting away from academy classes: academy classes have too many for one teacher. In a regular class there would be 3-4 kids with a need for support.  Honors math can meet the needs of higher achievers and honors literacy could do the same. Having less academy classes and more enrichment classes. 
• What We Want for SIP
  • ELA new curriculum
  • Language skills across all academic disciplines
  • Math tutoring and support
