Data Overview Purpose

• Review 4th Grade CRCT and EOG literacy results at Mount Bethel in

comparison to state and district achievement scores.

• Target strengths and weaknesses within Reading and ELA instruction.

• Discuss areas to target for improvement.

What is the GA Milestone?

▪ open-ended (constructed-response) items in English Language Arts and

mathematics (all grades and courses);

▪ a writing component (in response to passages read by students) at every

grade level and course within the English Language Arts assessment;

▪ norm-referenced items in all content areas and courses, to complement the

criterion-referenced information and to provide a national comparison

Criterion Referenced Competency Test

CRCT?

• The CRCT is test that measures how well students acquire the skills and

knowledge mandated by the state standards.

• The assessments yield information on academic achievement at the student,

class, school, system, and state levels.

• This information is used to identify individual student strengths and

weaknesses as related to the instruction of the state standards.

• This test has been replaced by the Ga Milestone.

CRCT ScoringA scale score of <800 Does not Meet the Standard (DNM)

A scale score of 800 is the cut score for Meets the Standard

A scale score of 850 is the cut score for Exceeds the Standard.

Strengths and Weaknesses

• MBES consistently has a higher percentage of Exceeding and Distinguished Learners in the areas of Reading and ELA than state and district scores.

• Between 2015 and 2016 the ELA scores reflect a decrease in Distinguished Learners and an increase of less than 1% in Proficient Learners.

• Developing learners showed no change between 2015 and 2016.

Strategies for Improvement

• Sustain student achievement levels and convert Beginning Learners to Developing and convert Developing Learners to Proficient Learners.

• Reading and writing skills will be supported by Readers and Writers workshop, small group, and flexible grouping.

• Special Education teachers will support IEP goals with data to identify and address learning problems.

• Reading and writing data will be reviewed by the Data Team every 9 weeks to collaborate and support teachers on meeting student needs and providing remediation.
