3. 1. What is the TerraNova? 2. What do the numbers mean? 3. How did redistricting impact the scores?  TerraNova is a standardized test. It is ONE of the tests that we use during the year to assess student growth and achievement.  Norm-referenced  Percentiles vs. percentages  *Redistricting of schools impacted year to year data comparisons. Wilson School has undergone a multi-year transition from a neighborhood school to a (primarily) commuter school back to a neighborhood school. http://www.dodea.edu/datacenter/tdSchools_results.cfm?dodaac=HEGAB9&year=2011&id=tn

9. Implications for change Implications for celebration  Recognize that the TN test is a portion of our overall assessment plan/process.  We performed lower than our DoDEA Community Strategic Plan (CSP) Goal in all areas.  We performed lower than the National Average Proficiency in reading.  Male students scored significantly better than female students in math and science and female students performed slightly better in reading.  Based on school improvement goal of improving reading comprehension we slightly improved overall student proficiency by 5%.  Our overall (3 rd -5 th combined) proficiency scores improved in 2011.
