Absolute Performance Each year, 75 percent of K‐2 graders

who have been enrolled at the

school on BEDS day for at least two

consecutive years

will

perform

at

or

above grade level in English

Language Arts as measured by

Fountas and Pinnell running records.

For Kindergarteners this equates in a

level B by the end of the year, a level

H for 1st grade students and a level L

for third graders. The Fountas and

Pinnell running records will assess

students vocabulary, comprehension

and phonics skills in order to

appropriately

determine

Each year, 75% of K‐2 graders who

have been enrolled at the school on

BEDS day for at least two

consecutive years will perform at or

above grade level by mastering at

least 80 percent of the New York

State Standards for Mathematics.

Mastery is determined by beginning,

middle and end of the year

diagnostics for each grade level and

interim assessments

to

determine

mastery of each state standard.

Mastery of a standard is defined by

80 percent or better on the math

assessments which will be

developed internally by teachers and

adapted from the math curriculum.

NYS ELA exam

In 2010‐11,

44.5% of students

in the

identified

cohort scored

proficient on the

ELA exam and the

school fell short

of its target.

Our plans for next year

include:

1. Aligning our

curriculum and

assessments

across our middle

schools;

2. Aligning our

standards and

assessments across our

elementary

schools;

3. Upgrading our

interim

assessments and

teacher

generated

assessments to

reflect the newly

aligned

curriculum and to

increase our

confidence level

in their predictive

value;

4. Implementing a

shared data

protocol to



ensure that we

use more

strategically and

effectively the

data from our

teacher‐

generated and

interim

assessments;

5. Implementing the

KIPP Framework

for Excellent

Teaching as a

coaching and

development

tool;

6. Improving our

ability to share

lessons and

assessments by

using the new

version of KIPP:

Share powered

by Better Lesson;

and

7. Beginning to

research the

impact that the

shift to Common

Core Standards

will have on all of

the above and

starting to adjust

accordingly.
