After reviewing all the data, it seems like the major need is in reading for K-2. Most of the DIBELS scores decreased by the end of the year. I know some of the K-2 teachers met with Ms. Armbrecht to discuss a new reading program to supplement what we already have with wonders. Reading is so important in the lower grades so that children can be successful later on across all subjects!

There seems to be differing data for Reading between Scantron, STAR, and DIBELS. Since we do not do the "retell" portion of DIBELs it is strictly provides us data on decoding skills. We have a need for a systematic phonics program that is used to fidelity-especially in K-2. The Sonday System is already in our school, and I found it very beneficial in my classroom. I have used it whole group and small group, and I have seen the beneficial results.

It is a concern that our growth targets in Math  are not at a higher percentage.  I know our students scored high initially and that has a huge impact on our growth.

Upon looking at the provided data from Scantron, we were able to target specific areas of weakness for specific students and provide intervention and enrichment lessons. This improved our math scores from 11% in winter meeting their annual target goal to 57% in the spring in mathematics. We also improved from last year having only 46% meet their annual goal to this year 57%. This is a PRAISE.

I would like to see more professional development opportunities in the areas of math instruction for upper elementary specifically. I believe that we need to really "unpack" our standards to understand exactly what they are telling us the students need to know. Professional development in the school, grade level meetings, cross-grade level meetings, etc. will help teachers have conversations about the standards our students need to be obtaining each year and how they build on each other.

I would like to incorporate some literature studies into reading instruction in order to encourage students to explore novels in a new light. This would involve getting away from solely using a reading program which would get students excited to read and write about different texts. We had a 20% increase in students meet their end of the year target goal in reading from winter to spring (39% to 59%). We also had a 4% increase from last year (54% to 59%).

We moved many of our intensive students up into the strategic and even benchmark categories. Many strategic moved to benchmark. We went from a 43% intensive at the beginning of the year to only 13% intensive at the end of the year. Those that remained intensive still showed gains.

Reading - it would be nice to have the student workbooks that go along with Wonders. Those pages are much more helpful than the materials we have.

Also we need more celebration and acknowledgement of students as they reach AR goals. School wide celebration and recognition would help motivate students to read.

There is an on-line PD program called Gifted Ignite that has tons of wonderful professional development opportunities for everyone. General education teachers would definitely benefit from them, as well as parents of gifted children. Ms. Akey bought a program for each PACE teacher to watch 6 hours each year. I have e-mailed her, because she told me that it would be available for our classroom teachers. I will see her tomorrow at our end-of-year PACE meeting and will ask her then. I looked a minute ago, and there is a place for teachers to get a free trial, but I don't know how long that lasts. I'll let y'all know more soon.

Second Grade students did really well on Star Reading-80% of our students met their Star Reading goal.  The majority of them scored higher than a 3.0 grade equivalent &  most of them were significantly higher than a 3.0.

This doesn't have anything to do with data, but I would like to do some training with the teachers on the Sanford Harmony character education program. The counselors had a training on it this year. I would like to start implementing it next year!

Only 47% of our students met the wpm benchmark, 50% met the Benchmark for accuracy. 111 words a minute is is a lofty goal and difficult for them to meet. We need a strategy in place next year to work on closing the gap between Star and DIBELS.

The performance series would be a great supplement to the Wonders curriculum. I used this series in 2nd grade last year and we saw wonderful improvements on Reading Scantron.

There need to be consistent rewards in place for those students who are meeting their AR goals and Scantron goals. This will further motivate those students who are reaching their goals and motivate those that aren't to try harder.

If Wonders is going to continue to be utilized, the student workbooks would be more beneficial than the Close Reading Companion.

Is there any way that I could have a Sonday System for my classroom? A lot of our SPED kids are low in Reading and I think it would be beneficial for the ones that are struggling.

In Addition, to performance series in both math and reading for all students Wonders student workbooks and Sadlier student workbooks hard copies would be most beneficial for student gains.Required student summer bridging books would help with regression of skills.I also agree with Fifth Grade's suggestion for schoolwide AR celebrations per quarter and ending year recognition if goal was met all four quarters!

I have used novel studies in the past and incorporated literacy circles, book clubs, script writing, and readers theater.This is well received with students and instills a passion for being a life long reader! Nothing like holding a discussion with a piece of classic literature rich in vocabulary and values then expand that to acting out that life theme ! Readers Are Leaders! Lehman:)

57% of students are above average in reading. A number of students were moved from the average high category to the above average category between fall and spring.
The percentage of students in the average low category went from 17% down to 6% in math from fall to spring.

Integrating technology into everyday lessons and homework has benefited our students tremendously. Students were able to work at their own pace, and review previously taught lessons (on Nearpod) whenever they wished. The use of technology allowed for greater review of skills and enrichment for those who had already mastered the third grade standard/skill.
