Math/Science GoalsComplying with No Child Left Behind

requirements,

all students in Grades 3-8 and Grade 11 will meet or exceed “proficiency” on the MCA in math

all students in Grades 5, 8, and 10 will meet or exceed “proficiency” on the MCA in science

Baseline/Trend DataPlainview and Elgin-Millville School

Districts consolidated in the fall of 2006.

We’ve taken 5 rounds of standardized testing as P-E-M. We’re finally establishing some useful trend data.

Lead Indicators District made Adequate Yearly Progress for

two years in a row (a.k.a. now off the ‘Not Making AYP’ list)

Our scores still remain consistent overall. We’re addressing grade-level assessment score anomalies (steep growth/dips).

Next StepsCurrently in the midst of multi-school

Professional Learning Community consortium. This has been well received by the district thus far.

New reading series implemented 2011-2012.

Lessons Learned/Best PracticesCurriculum sharing between schools is

a must.

P-E-M’s 10th grade science scores have remained high, and now 8th and 5th grade science scores are following suit. Taking time to focus on the standards has been key to producing results.

SummaryScience scores very high. Reading and

math scores tend to hover near the state average.

District-wide Staff Development 2011-2012 is on learning about, establishing and sustaining Professional Learning Communities.
