Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment

Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Summary

Cheri Cox Elementary found that in the 2012-2013 school year reading instruction was an area of great growth and continued strength. Many students ingrade 4 were successful on the 4th grade reading assessment and multiple students were able to show notable growth in this area from 3rd grade. Writingstrength also was noted, with growth in the multiple choice revision and editing showing marked improvement.

Mathematics, for Cheri Cox, was the greatest area of need. Students in all subgroups scored lower than anticipated. While grade 3 student maintained scoresfrom the prior test year, grade four student demonstrated difficulties. The campus is in the midst of foundational skills review for all teachers in the area ofmath.

The campus will target additional areas for growth during the 2013-2014. Along with writing and mathematics, the campus will focus on vocabularydevelopment across all instrucdtional areas to support expository writing and math. The campus will also focus on motivational instruction strategies for allsubgroups in order to further support student success. Finally, the campus will strive to advance all ELL students one full year in the four domains ofTELPAS.
