School Data
Universal Screeners- No Data until around Christmas.

Small Group Data from Data Teaming- No Data at this time
ELA
7th Grade: Beacon Research Testlet: Revisit research skills to aid students in support needed and near target using small groups.
Harrell- 50% prepared, 47% near target, 2% support needed (sped)
Reynolds- 17% prepared, 59% near target, 24% support needed (6 sped, 3 esol, 6 gen ed)
Manville- 11% prepared, 72% near target, 17% support needed (12 gen ed)
8th Grade: Students have been working on RL4- determining the meaning of words and phrases. Students seem to have a misconception of connotation and relationships between words. Misconception between idioms and euphemism. King 31% mastery and S.Thompson 42% mastery. Both teachers are using this data to assign students practice in Progress Learning over the top 3 standards that each student scored below mastery for one-on-one remediation.
Math
6th grade: Last weekly quiz which is a combination of what students are currently learning and the spiral review homework - Collins 64.6% mastery and Foor 79.1% mastery. Common misconceptions include: identifying independent and dependent variables, finding the interquartile range, and writing inequalities from number lines. To correct these mistakes, teachers re-opened the quiz for students to make corrections. Mrs. Foor also covered the topics in her tutoring class and both teachers will reteach topics as they arise on Spiral Review HW.
7th grade: Ratios & Proportional Relationships Unit Test Newsome 52.5%, Quesada 61.4%, Eubanks 35.4% mastery. Common misconceptions included calculating Simple Interest and multistep percent problems. For the simple interest problem, students forgot to multiply by the time, which caused them to miss both parts of the question. For multistep percents, students struggle with following every step. For example, the question asked students to first calculate discount and then calculate the new price after tax. If students miss a single part of the steps, their answer will be incorrect. To help with these misconceptions, teachers all review the questions in class and did test corrections for a grade. Geometry CFA 1 (Cross Sections, Triangles, and Scale Factor) Newsome had 88.1%, Quesada had 63.2%, and Eubanks had 75.4% mastery. Common misconceptions with this CFA was first with scale factor word problems. Students had to set up a proportion and cross multiply and solve. Students did not set up the proportion correctly, so the work and answer were incorrect. The second misconception was the triangle inequality theorem. Students were supposed to add the two smallest sides and see if the sum was greater than the third side. Students however, added the first two side lengths given in stead of the smallest sides, causing them to select the wrong answer. Teachers reviewed these errors in Do Nows and will address them again later in the year with GMAS Do Nows which are sample test items from the GMAS Study Guides.
8th Grade: I’m still waiting on their data as of 2/16/2023 at 10:15am.
