I noticed that in math and ELA I have more 1's than the previous years at Cannan. In ELA I have more 3's than the 2017 year and in math I have a fewer number of 3's and 4's compared to the 2017 year.

With last year being my first year at Cannan, I felt like I was trying to figure out what was happening 5 minutes ago. That did have an impact on how I was delivering the content and helping the students reach their goals.

# data[].attributes.body
This year I have been letting go of control over the lessons and letting students be more independent with the instruction. This way they aren't so dependent on me reading everything to them. Focusing on standards based grading with the rubrics and goal setting has helped students want to set higher goals for themselves and try to meet their goals. I have noticed some student's attitudes change from putting in little effort, to trying to reach for a 3 or 4 on the rubrics. I am hoping with doing guided reading more fluently will help bring up students ELA grades.

I plan on using these support systems to get students prepared for the vocabulary they will see on the test. Most of the times, the students know how to do the task, but they aren't sure what the question is asking them to do. I also plan on using it to help kids pace themselves and not rush through the test questions just to be done, but to actually put effort into their test.

 I noticed some growth in math and in ELA but, not the necessary growth students should have. Almost half of the classroom is still at level 1 in ELA, which creates awareness of the need of rigorous instruction that provides students with opportunities to read closely to analyze and comprehend a range of complex text.

There are many factors that affect my students, but I believe that my students are not self-motivated enough to put effort in their learning process. I think that I needed to monitor my students more often on their specific needsLondy

-Grouping my students according to their specific needs, and provide instruction that address those needs.

-One on one conference to create awareness of their level, and establish goals

-Monitor students’ progress, and motivate them to keep persevering

I will use the SBAC IAB/ICA  to help students reflect on areas of improvement, to take pride about areas where they show success. Also, this information will be beneficial to me because my students are not only going to be learning but they will be getting familiar with the future assessments, and I will use the information obtained to drive my instruction.

My scores are pretty reflective of the school as a whole. I didn't have any students score in the high blue range in either subject. I think the fact it was my first year as a 3rd grade teacher and my first year going through SBAC as well as my students first time taking it, had an influence on the results. Math was somewhat higher than I expected but not where I'd like to see the results.

# data[].attributes.body
I had no comparison of scores since it was my first year in 3rd.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe everything I'm doing this year is very different from the previous year. My behavior problems are not as impactful on my teaching and the students' learning as it was last year. I am doing a lot more writing in math with Read Draw Write. I am more aware of the needs of my students and doing my best to direct my teaching to those needs in both ELA and Math. Our writing approach with CK content is more impactful this year and will hopefully result in more confidence with approaching writing prompts.

# data[].attributes.body
I think using these resources will better prepare the students to have somewhat of an idea of what they are going to be going through with SBAC. It is great for 3rd to have some exposure to test prep since they have never experienced SBAC before. I am hoping to relate what we have already been doing in class and give my students important strategies geared towards the type of questions we explore to strengthen their approach to SBAC.

Looking at my percentages from my previous school, ELA and math have traded positions in terms of where students are more successful. Math scores have dropped (overall) as there is more reading and writing involved. I believe (although still low), math scores have improved slightly. In terms of how my particular students did compared to my previous set of 5th graders, I do not have access to that data.

# data[].attributes.body
My data does not reflect from year to year as my data was presented from my 5th grade students.

# data[].attributes.body
To what do I attribute these results? I think there is more consistency in the academic language and performance expectations from grade to grade in language arts. While there is consistent academic language in the math, the tasks they are expected to perform have definitely changed and become more rigorous from the STAR to the CAASPP.

# data[].attributes.body
I was amazed by the math scores, actually disappointed that they were below the district grade level mean. In ELA, I was above the District grade level mean. I want to ensure that I am using more support from Engage NY to support my students in mathematics.

Harvey - I looked at the school data compared to other similar schools. I noticed that in ELA the percentage of bottom scorers grew in both those schools and ours from 2016 and 2017, however our percentage went up more than theirs. In math, our bottom percentage shrnk, but we are over 50% still!

I really like the Problems of the Month and the focus on mathematical thinking and writing. Although our SLO is complete, I will make sure that we continue to practice math writing.
We are also working really hard on word problems and identifying clue words to help us identify the operation(s).
Finally, (for ELA) I will be sure to conference and provide feedback to help them improve using the text to support their answers for reading comprehension and expository writing.

I want to allow my independent learners the opportunity to soar and not hold them back with the majority of the class. I would like to level my students in ability groups so that those students may work more independently and rely less on the Teacher to move them along in their content learning. I feel that we are still trying to build up stamina with these high stake tests.

These are really good tools to expose students to the rigor of the SBAC. They will be incorporated weekly (if not more frequently) as a problem of the week to solve and explain. We will discuss strategies to use to be successful on the SBAC questions.

Harvey - I will try to focus more on reading when I am working with other teachers, instead of writing all the time. Small group guided reading and reading in small group for information using scaffolding to help low learners who are EL.

I think one attribute that reflects in my results is that many students who enter my classroom at the beginning of 3rd grade are below grade level and are not ready to be successful with grade-level curriculum and objectives

I am hoping to have a better understanding of my data from 4th grade and compare to last years 4th grade. I did not have data to compare to my prior years teaching in 5th grade. I have already accessed more lesson from Engage NY to supplement my mathematics. I have also really worked on enforcing the students learning environment. I have several behaviors that continue to disrupt the learning environment and students focus.

Harvey - I would definitely pull out a question a day to work on together as many of the SBAC questions require students to solve more than one equation and pick all the answers that might work. This is a lot more effort for students than just picking one answer.

As a grade level we are using standard based rubrics and we communicate often about tweeking our lessons. In reading I'm doing guided reading - this is still a work in progress, but students are receptive to the effort. In addition, I use juicy sentences to help with grammar. In math I use constructed written responses, or RDW, to tie in writing with explaining math procedures.

The 5th gd. teachers just reviewed how we are going to do a lesson a week. Students will have time to work on problems, then I will review questions with students to prepare them on use of the technology, review skills,  and build up stamina for testing. The ICAs are performance tasks and those will be used closer to the test. My students need both reading & math practice, and I will continue to push forward with rigor in adding this practice website.
