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

a reading level.

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
