2. Math/Science Goals Complying 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

3. Baseline/Trend Data Plainview 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.

13. 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).

14. Next Steps Currently 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.

15. Lessons Learned/Best Practices Curriculum sharing between schools is a must. P-E-M’s 10th grade science scores have remained high, and now 8 th and 5 th grade science scores are following suit. Taking time to focus on the standards has been key to producing results.

16. Summary Science 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.
