Eidex Training – January 20th / Big Ideas:
Good Reminders:
What will I do with this information:
Data Dialog- Mathematics- jump starting the CNA work for Mapping the Future
See:
% proficient decreased as students go up in grade level
4th grade is the highest % proficient
? HS trend
An elementary seems to perform lower than higher-need buildings
Some spikes by grade level
SWD, EL, SES gaps
? grade to grade alignment- state
Lower grade levels we are above the state, higher grades more equal
Think/Wonder:
Comparison to other counties?
What is happening at MS- so much more content- mastery?
Complexity increases, reading level impacts?
Teacher impact el vs ms/hs especially in small schools
Cut scores
Student motivation to do their best- student engagement
What to do?
Conversations with students, parents- growth mindset, goal setting
Delta Math-
Adding at 1st, subtraction at 2nd, fractions are need- seem to have counting and number sense
How much summer loss is reflected?
Correlation to M-STEP?
Most districts are not using Delta in grades 6-8 / Big Ideas: / See/Think/Wonder
M-STEP, Delta
