What does the data tell us?-IN GENERAL We need to be cautious about over-analyzing any single

assessment result during any single year We should be comparing ourselves to the top performing

schools in the country-private and public We have opportunities for growth in everything from ACT

to AP to CSAP IMAP looks at individual students, Data warehousing

allows us to look at trends and systemic opportunities Are our interventions having a meaningful impact on all

of the students in our school

What does all this data tell us?-MATH

Math-the analysis of our longitudinal math scores indicates a need to re-evaluate our current K-12 math curriculum using the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Math) standards as a benchmark

Review current best practice methodologies for instruction to insure that all teachers are up to date with content and instructional strategies using contemporary tools

What does the data tell us?-SCIENCE Are we providing a rigorous curriculum K-12 in the

areas of science Explore the current scope and sequence Work with local groups to enrich our high school

science learning experiences Seek ways to further incorporate

problem-based/project-based learning utilizing the natural resources in the San Miguel Watershed

What does the data tell us?-WRITING More detailed analysis of subareas in writing

should be explored It is too early to tell if the Daily 5 has had a long-

term sustainable impact on student writers. What types of writing are most important as a

future life-skill. What best instructional methods should be used

in each classroom/grade level (consistent scope and sequence)

We have much to celebrate! Telluride strength is in more than just test scores We perform above the state average in generally every

area We perform above national averages in many areas Our student population is our greatest resource Our teachers are reaching for new heights and challenging

themselves to be better today than yesterday Our parents and community have demonstrated their

support of education and the Telluride School District
