9. Key Differences Schools will only be graded on the components for which they have 10 students – Schools that don’t have enough data for one or more components will still receive a grade Learning Gains require students – scoring below grade level to grow toward grade level – already at grade level to progress beyond grade level 9

10. Key Differences English Language Arts – Grades 3-5 – Includes Writing (No stand alone Writing Score) ELL students included after 2 years No extra weighting or penalties School Grade based on the percentage of total points earned Grade 3 ELA Scores: Levels tied back to 2014 Other FSA Tests: T-scores and Percentile Ranks 10

12. Assessment: Improving Student Achievement Develop Essential Questions Review Assessment Data – Fall, Winter Diagnostic – FSQs, Semester Exams, other Review Teaching and Learning – Alignment and Rigor – Student Work and Teacher Feedback School-Based Action Plan for Improving Achievement 12

13. Essential Questions Assessment Data Which standards have/have not been instructed? How does our overall performance compare to the District? Standards where students perform best? Standards where weaknesses are evident? How are different groups performing by standard? How can we group students by needs? Are there specific gaps in skills for a group of students? 13

14. Essential Questions Teaching and Learning To what extent do teachers understand, teach to, and assess the standards at a consistent and appropriate level of rigor? Are standards, assessment, and instruction aligned? Are specific reading and math interventions improving literacy skills for selected students? What instructional strategies appear to be effective? By what criteria are we evaluating student work? To what extent do all teachers and students receive the ongoing assistance they may need? 14

Test Sophistication Unit (TSU) Reminders ReadingBothWriting Read alouds: outside of block/through other content areas Use previous anchor charts Students engage in ongoing editing Shared reading: every day; help students accumulate strategies taught across the weeks Students need to be able to read and respond to grade level text Students use reading passages to practice open response – collaboration between reading and writing teachers should occur Students continue to read independent level books daily (build stamina and volume) Teachers continue to support students through small group instruction Students need long stretches of writing time to simulate assessment (build stamina and volume) Students work in partnerships. Students code text and make marginal notes Student passages and other resources on Learning Village www.FSAssessments.org (FSA Portal) www.FSAssessments.org

56. Recommendations for Instruction Implement vertical planning and hold all grade levels accountable for standards-based science instruction (utilize Learning Village resources). Integrate science into reading and writing while maintaining a daily block of science instruction for essential hands-on learning. Appoint a science contact and/or coach who will attend district meetings to improve communication and the flow of valuable science resources to your learning community. Take advantage of the science curriculum team’s school-based customized professional development.

57. * Learning Village has been updated with new and improved resources that target student needs (based on teacher feedback and the changing instructional environment). Please encourage your K-5 teachers to re-visit their grade specific science landing pages and become familiar with the new resources.
