Desert Hot Springs Elementary Schools by Eric Antuna https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v Reflect on the conversations you had with your team about the English Learner data while using talking chips in the Padlet below. en-us 2017-01-18 02:06:36 UTC 2024-10-28 12:35:51 UTC hello@padlet.com Our IFEP and RFEP students are out performing our EO students. Why? Is it because they had to overcome bigger obstacles? Or is it due to them having to increase their understanding of "language" because they learned a second language? https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/148245699 2017-01-19 21:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/148245699 If they are not reclassified by 5th grade, they will tend to have a significant drop in SBAC scores in both ELA and Math https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/148245780 2017-01-19 21:48:10 UTC https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/148245780 There is a significant drop in ELA & Math as students transition from 5th to 6th grade. https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/148245802 2017-01-19 21:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/148245802 There is a big drop between elementary and middle school.

Phonics skills aren't getting focused on in middle school which, could explain the low scores in 6th-8th. Most students not just ELD students are struggling.

Our team decided that this information helped us to feel like we want to refocus on using our ELD strategies each day, throughout the curriculum. https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/154180169 2017-02-15 22:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/154180169 In ELA English Learners are substantially dropping off between 5th and 6th grade. The vocabulary from elementary to middle school is drastic change. Middle school students are rotating classes and teachers have to expect students to be more independent. The assessment is more rigorous in middle and high school. Bottom line the hand holding has subsided when students exit elementary school. For math from 4th to 5th every subgroup dropped. https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/154180193 2017-02-15 22:13:46 UTC https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/154180193 https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/154180208 We noticed a significant drop between elementary and middle school.

We feel that perhaps this is due to the complexity of language increasing significantly as the students move through the grades. This impacts their ability to correctly solve problems and answer questions because they are still learning to be fluent in English. ]]> 2017-02-15 22:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/154183914 TBP 3rd grade https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/154184009 We noticed the decrease in student proficiency from 3rd grade to 11th grade. One of the reasons could be because students who are in 11th grade were not exposed to SBAC in their elementary years. ]]> 2017-02-15 22:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/154184009 TBP -SPED https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/154190853 Our team noticed a steady decrease through the grade levels in math proficiency.  One reason could be  that the language demand increases each instructional year in math.

We think part of the reason is that number of students who are RFEP grows every year and it's difficult to keep those percentages up. https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/154191760 2017-02-15 23:51:13 UTC https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/154191760 Would a K-4, 5-8, 9-12 model work better to support our ELL population? Probably impractical, but some districts are moving in that direction https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/154192522 2017-02-15 23:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/eantuna/e6p2x8bpr78v/wish/154192522
