READING SCORES

Our scores improved in all categories

McInteer Elementary 5th Grade Terra NovaReading Comprehension Subtest

Chart 1 illustrates the growth on the Reading Comprehension subtest of the Terra Nova over a 5-year period. Baseline year for this assessment was 2002. The test was given to all 5th grade students the first week of each April. The chart also compares the scores of all students to those classified as Limited English Proficient (LEP). Both populations made gains from year 1 to year 5, however there is still a discrepancy between the two populations. A slight decline occurred in year two in both populations. Year two was the last year of the Bluster Day reading series. “All” contains LEP.

Fourth Grade Reading ScoresSTARS

STARS standard 4.1.3 was used to measure reading comprehension. During the course of four years, the number of students meeting proficiency increased.

Consider these Questions

• What can we learn from the data?• What are our strengths and challenges?• Do we have other data to support these

results?• What are the implications of the data?• What will we do as a result of the

implications?

Creating the Profile

Step 7: Reflect On and Analyze Data

•Review the data presented

•Allow for ample time of review

Step 6: Organize and Present Data

How should the data be displayed?• Can the displays be easily generated?• Does the district have all the displays of the

data that it needs?• Does it have some that should be

eliminated?• Where is it stored?
