Current Data—General Overview
Pathways (Acadience Testing results)
Math Data (based on essential learning targets using the same grade level tests)
Acadience Reading Data (4th- 6th Grade is displayed on a pie graph with further breakdowns than just the composite score)
Next time we meet we will have BOY (Beginning of Year) Data report from this school year
Our ultimate goal is that the red and yellow gets smaller and the green and blue get bigger (red is most severe, some of those are special needs students who might stay in the red all the time)
Acadience is used as a screener. More specific diagnostics are then utilized, and that data is used to determine interventions.
This year we hired another reading aide and extended intervention all the way up to fourth grade, with the plan to have daily intervention.
As we study this information, it will help us know what we need to focus on.
2021-2022 Trustland Plan
Reviewed Budget
Carryover is currently listed as $0 because exact amounts haven’t come from the district.
Pathways to Progress Data allows us to measure growth instead of just proficiency.
Sixth Grade data needs to be adjusted because of 80% proficiency level.
Questions and concerns: Deana Davis had a concern about this year’s plan from a teacher’s perspective. We wrote it as a proficiency and not a growth goal. Last year’s discussion was that we felt better setting a higher goal even if we couldn’t achieve it. Our original goal was 80% of students will achieve 80% proficiency or higher. Next year we can focus more on growth vs. proficiency.
State has mandated using the Acadience Math assessment for K-3. We’re not sure how that data will translate, but it will provide another data point to look at.
6th Grade BOY Math Assessments are not available through the state yet so teaching has started, meaning that we might not have a true measurement for math because we won’t know where students truly started the year.
Covid has lasting effects on teachers, student attendance, etc. Data doesn’t always show these effects.
Please take time to browse and familiarize yourself with the website.

There is a SCC email scam so be aware! All SCC emails will come from Ms. Williams.
