I enjoyed reading your plan to raise your test scores and implementing a common assessment. I hope your team is able to see the benefits of common assessments and I would love to help in any way possible.
ReplyDeleteTwo things I'd like to add that will hopefully help. I'd edit STARR to STAAR. I noticed you've typed it wrong both in your template above and in one of your posts. Honest mistake, but you'll want to have it fixed :)
ReplyDeleteAs for your official plan, it looks very well organized. The only thing I see missing that you might want to add in is a literature review of common based assessments. I think you'll get a lot of data. You might add this in at the beginning, even before interviewing the 5th grade team members for their opinions on common based assessments, that way you have something to add to their responses. You'll find a ton of information out there and pros/cons, all kinds of good stuff that you could add to your final research paper. I think if you add that in, you are good-to-go! I'm very interested in the results for your campus. The Jr. High that I will be teaching went to common based assessments last year after being rated Academically Unacceptable the previous year and this year their scores were the highest in the district.
Will collaborative teaching be implemented for the struggling students? I know you stated remediation for small group in the class but would it be better to have collaborative teaching therefore the teachers could compare data on what each struggling student may need to pass the test. If not collaborative teaching, what about after- school tutoring? You have an ambitious task ahead and I wish you the best.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I am not the collab teacher this year. We are implementing a mandatory 30 min intervention time that will be very structured this year. Two days will be devoted to Math and two day for Reading. We will use the results of the common assessment to narrow down TEKS and group our students for this morning intervention.
