73. Trends... What did you see that constituted a trend (movement of data in one direction or another?) - From our discussion Tuesday, our faculty noted that Reading Comprehension has lacked focus over the past few years and it would behoove us to review strategies to address this Without gearing our whole professional development for 2011-12 toward ITED scores, what are some very simple things we could be doing in our classes to help improve these numbers? - Looking at some different kinds of strategies to help students read for a purpose, be held accountable to the reading, and simply reading more often for a variety of reasons in class will help students get in the habit of reading more in school and to help them understand that this will be an expectation in all of their classes.

74. Tentative Action Plan for GHS Departments will continue to look at data from ITED to determine what skill areas can be addressed seamlessly within existing curriculum and implement strategies to address deficient skills Reading comprehension strategies will be reviewed and accountability strategies will be introduced to increase the amount of reading done in the content areas GHS faculty will continue to develop and strengthen relationships with students through the Seminar program to reduce the number of unexcused absences and increase average daily attendance

75. 2011-12 District AIG All FAY students in grades 4, 8, and 11 will meet or exceed typical NSS growth on Iowa Testing in math and reading.
