C. Mark Melton, Executive Director of Secondary Education, presented data regarding the spring secondary School Improvement Plans. This presentation included information on grades on the State Report Card. A S.M.A.R.T. Goal for secondary schools is for Math and ELA scores to increase by 10% on state assessments. He reviewed data for ACT data, as well. Another S.M.A.R.T. Goal for secondary schools is to see ACT Composite scores increase to 20.6. He also shared celebrations and successes at our schools.
D. Brenda Davis, Executive Director of Academic Services, provided an update regarding identifying essential standards in math and reading. Ms. Davis shared the importance of our teachers owning this work and leading the process of identifying essentials. This provides a formula for new teachers to follow and helps teachers understand the core areas necessary for mastery.
Dr. Eichelberger stated that teachers are tasked with teaching an expanded set of standards and substandards. While we strive to cover as much content as possible, our primary focus is ensuring all students master the essential concepts. Identifying standards serves as a measurable benchmark and forms the foundation of our curriculum.
