https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c What are your takeaways from the College and Career Readiness results from last school year and this current school year? en-us 2018-07-31 14:38:47 UTC 2025-12-04 11:41:40 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796151 - There has to be a way to streamline career readiness points (or to promote documentation) and to check for accuracy (but do schools check for accuracy?)

- Random fun fact: less than 40% are finishing school that we do identify as "college ready" so how do we change our curriculum to better meet the educational needs?

- How do we target for improvement in the student population? Among staff/core?

- How do we get kids here, to stay here, and be productive while here?]]> 2018-08-02 16:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796151 https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796167 Results are disappointing; we can do better. Acknowledging the importance of family in children's development and the fact of our exponentially changing society, we need to prioritize communicating our goals and the rationales behind these goals to all families--before students enter our doors. What role can every staff member play in communicating with families? What do staff members still need to know about these goals and rationales]]> 2018-08-02 16:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796167 https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796172 When it comes to the North College and Career Readiness Report Cards, I first noticed the decrease in attendance from '17/'18 to this past school year.  This means that we have much more work to do on helping students improve attendance.  I am happy to see that more of our students are career ready.  The improvement in that area is promising.  One area where I'd definitely like to see growth is with the number of kids showing readiness for 2 and 4 year colleges.  The percentages for that from 2017-2018 concern me.  When it comes to ACT, that is always tough.  We know it's important, and we need to improve, but we also know there are so many other ways that we can measure our students' success.  Still an area for growth.

The number of "college ready" students seems low. Do we meet the educational needs of those kids who won't be moving onto a four year, or more to the point, graduating from a four year?]]> 2018-08-02 16:03:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796174 https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796191 Missing several categories of data in '17/'18 (GPA especially). How do we encourage more community service/involvement? Nice to see that more students are participating in workplace experiences and dual credit opportunities.]]> 2018-08-02 16:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796191 https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796197 What happened with the "Career & College Ready" for 18/19?
Seems like we are making progress in Career ready from our two data years.
On the other hand our composite ACT score dropped to its lowest level in five year.]]> 2018-08-02 16:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796197 https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796227 We are looking at service projects for co-curricular activities by team, or perhaps as a whole. Would have to tie that together with community service so we don't overload students even more.  
Ties to PLC work?
Do scheduling conflicts or other obstacles affect the students ability to take college level or career readiness courses?
Seems the "best" teachers teach the toughest classes with the lowest percentage of students.  Is this best for our students?
Lot's of supports for high and low functioning. Not so much for the middle.]]> 2018-08-02 16:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796227 https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796247 Why the big ACT drop this last year across all categories?

Only about 50% of students are part of 2 or more CoCurricular activities.  With so many options how can we increase this number?  

How can PLC's use some of this data to help improve?]]> 2018-08-02 16:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796247 jmassimo https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796351 Career & College Readiness: Workplace experience has increased. 
Distressing that there is not more community service. Is this a reporting error?
Are students choosing less AP classes? This is what the Career & College Readiness report would seem to indicate. Maybe the Star 360 & Aspire are causing them to self identify where they should be?]]> 2018-08-02 16:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796351 https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796484 Making community service a part of our curriculum, so that all students have the opportunity to participate is intriguing.

ACT - 45% of our students are college ready (p. 18-19)

What accounts for the 6% discrepancy for college readiness?

What would happen if we started each upper-level course with an accounting of their readiness? Would that create a more focused mindset?]]> 2018-08-02 16:07:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796588 https://padlet.com/rbiertzer/4q331a65rf7c/wish/271796647 ACT composite down for North AND the State.

Not all students will be going to college, but it would be a positive experience to participate  in a higher level course.
Is dual credit something that we should be looking at for a larger population?
How do we increase community involvement?
Is it important to have students taking more classes or becoming proficient in the ones that they are interested/capable?
Grade 10 (2018-19 Juniors)

District still needs to figure out how to more accurately gather the career readiness information:
The only measure that might be accurate is co-curricular activities and maybe the attendance
