Yes we can grow in all areas.

# data[].attributes.body
Focus on instructional strategies, differentiation, modifications, accommodations, and attitudes about the possibilities of students with special needs.

Yes, I believe we can grow. In all areas.

Something happened from 2015-16 to 16-17 where the increase was a decrease in ELA - did we change something?

# data[].attributes.body
All special education students are different. To compare districts may not be appropriate.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  K-12 systems versus regionals across the state show a gap in Special Education performance.
2.  The 2014-2015 results are not exactly valid or reliable -first testing year.
3. Need to focus on use of appropriate instructional strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
Delve into the curriculum to see which standards are being addressed. And yes we can grow and through instructional strategies , offering richer feedback from walk through data and formal observations, more collaboration between content area supervisors and building admin, higher levels of engagement, and differentiation. Offering more opportunities to grow instructionally through professional development across the district.

Require review district expectations for benchmark testing and ensure students are exposed to similar questioning format techniques as presented on the State EOC assessments.

1. Increase the 9th grade

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Increase the 9th grade ALG 01 and focus on their success because of graduation requirements.

2.  Look closely at the ELA 10 scores this year as an indicator of the interventions we may need for the class of 2021 to meet this graduation indicator.

3.  Add more CCCS type questions to the ELA curriculum to focus on their success. Utilize readings that interest the students. Have different articles and readings of interest.

4.  Research best practices in other successful districts for each individual demographic groups.  Look for districts who have had success in increasing scores.  Utilize Title I funding where possible.

5. Provide more experience with computer and Chromebooks and have students continue to answer questions they will run into.

Task 1
1. Although ELA 09 and ELA10 have increased and are approaching DFG levels, ELA11 is not. ELA11 does not get factored into accountability. I would not stress here, just focus to increase student performance for

1.  Algebra 1
2.  ELA -
3.  African American
4.  Special Ed
5. Gap between grades 9 and 11

# data[].attributes.body
Although the district is below similar districts, we have been going up in ELA faster than the other districts.  This is a good trend, but I would like to focus on ELA increasing continuously until we meet expectations.

# data[].attributes.body
I would focus on the increases or decreases we made per year in the content areas.

# data[].attributes.headline
I would focus on those that are in the approaching category and narrow down the specific skills that they are not achieving proficiency. For example, if you look at the Geometry scores there have been 30% or more in the approaching category over the last 3 years. Moving that one group of students from approaching to meeting will put us above 50% for in this subject matter.

Do you believe we can grow? WHERE?

This is the Link It Data Analysis report of comparative data relative to our District's PARCC Performance in comparison with similar sized districts, DFG DE School Districts and the State of NJ.

TASK #1:  What information would you use to prioritize ways to address the gaps between our District performance and other similar DFG DE School Districts?
