Data Analysis. Answer the question below using any data and/or information you have about your performance.
In order to meet your Overall Goal, what is the most important area that needs improving and why? (If you have data that helped you answer this question, please copy and paste it into this box.)
End of Year Data (June, 2010):
  • Kindergarten-98.1% proficient on DRA level
  • 1st Grade-72% proficient on DRA level
  • 2nd Grade-69% proficient on 4th Quarter PA
  • 3rd Grade-49.2% proficient on EOG
  • 4th Grade-67.1% proficient on EOG
  • 5th Grade-59.3% proficient on EOG

  1. What worked and how do you know?
  • All grade levels data increased on 3rd Quarter CFA (low, medium, and high groups)(2009-2010 Year):
  • All enrichment/remediation group data made growth on 3rd Quarter CFA, except for 5th grade highgroup
We know this from our data tracking of the high, medium and low enrichment groups all throughout the school year /
  1. What didn’t work and how do you know?
District and school comparison date reveals:
-2nd Grade from 75% to 69% proficient from 2nd to 3rd PA
-3rd Grade from 59.2% to 49.2% proficient from last year
-5th Grade from 62.9% to 59.3% proficient from last year
-Classroom instruction and enrichment/remediation worked for most students but not all students
-No grade level met their target goal / 3. Do you need any additional assistance as you look at your results and start planning for Cycle 2? ___Yes _X__No
From whom do you need assistance?
Target SMART Goal (One year projection based on the answer to question 2 above.):
We will increase students' Reading Composite in Grades 3-5 from 62.1% to 71.6% as measured by the 2011
End of Grade Test.
What will you do during cycle 1 (Identify key approach or strategy you will implement during cycle 1 to move toward achieving your target goal.)?
We will continue to implement a remediation/enrichment block each day to focus on specific gaps to enrich
students as they move forward with their learning. We will utilize our training from Foundations Of Reading to help us improve our remediation time.

  1. What are the key opportunities for Improvement and the data to support it?
Growth of Remediated vs. Non-remediated:
2nd grade students did not make growth in either remediated or non-remediated groups.
5th grade made no growth in RtI and negative 5 points growth in non-RtI students.
*Not keeping student consistency or too large of a number of students in the RtI groups could have been a factor here.
Grade / RtI students / Non-RtI students
2 / -3.2 / -1.9
5 / 0 / -5
There are no OFI’s for RtI fidelity.
EOG Data:
No OFI’s in 3rd grade EOG data.
No OFI’s in 4th grade data.

  1. What information/data is needed that we do not have?
  • District and State Comparison data
  • Need to know how EXTEND 2 data is calculated to compare growth

Target SMART Goal (One year projection based on the gap analysis in question 2 above.):
By 2011, Sharon school will increase 3-5 students' math proficiency by 7.3% from 77.7% to 85% as measured by the EOG tests in May 2011 and K-2 students' math proficiency by 5% from 85% to 90% as measured by fourth quarter Predictive Assessments in May 2011.
