1. Unit 2 needs to be reviewed. The sixth grade overall is weak. The 8th grade had an increase from Unit 3 to Unit 4. 2. What are they assessing? Pre or post? 3. Give pre- post- tests. Look at the actual test. Look at the curriculum to see if gaps? Look at the 4th, 5th and 6th grade scores leading in to these grade levels.
It appears that Unit 2 was either very difficult or the skills and strategies were not presented, or something happened in the school during that time.
We need to look at the lesson plans, walkthrough/observation data, and assessment data comparatively across the units to begin to understand what caused the problems in Unit 2.
We don't know if the content of Unit 2 was a departure (perhaps in genre) from what had been done in the past. That unit had disappointing results across all grade levels.
We don't know if there is a staffing issue related to the grade 6 performance.
Is there vertical articulation across those grades in regard to the CCSS and this reading program?
In looking at the 6th grade scores, what was the 5th grade instruction and performence? Also, Unit 2 may have had test issues. Are there test design issues? Do the slo's align to the test?

ReplyDeleteWhat is in unit 2.? New program doesn't seem to be effective in any grade
ReplyDeleteOverall improvement in 3 of the 4 units....Previous unit 2 instruction/program produced better results than new reading program.....Why?
ReplyDeleteWhat are the differences in the programs?
Is the program being implemented with fidelity in grade 6?

Program is not effective in unit 2 for any grade ? What is the unit about?
ReplyDeleteThat unit 2 saw a decrease in the average change in points.
ReplyDeleteOverall score comparisons and which groups are being compared.
Grade 6 looks like they are making least amt of progress. Review strategies.
Unit two could be an issue with unfamiliar content or an issue at the school.
ReplyDeleteWas the program effectively implemented? Fidelity of program implementation ....
ReplyDeleteThere doesnt seem to be continuity within the units. The results within units are inconsistent.
