Moving Student Achievement from 2.7 to 3
What is different about student achievement now?
• The number of students scoring below level 2 has reduced significantly. Of those in level 2, the number that are scoring just below level 3 (at or above 2.7, below 3) is large. This provides a significant opportunity to raise levels of student achievement and to further motivate the system to do so.
• These students perform well on less demanding reading comprehension tasks such as, “Understanding explicitly stated information in a reading selection”, or “conventions of language”.

I awoke and saw that life was service.
I served and found that in service, happiness is found.”
